LabView 8.2.1 and DAQmx Base with Linux

Hey,
we use LabView 8.2.1 here with Linux. Recently the new version of NI-VISA (5.0.0) and DAQmx Base (3.4) were released and work with OpenSuSE 11.2. But there is no integration of DAQmx Base into LabView 8.2.1 in the iso file.
Is there a possibility to implement that?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hello Alex,
thank you for posting at the National Instruments Forum. It is not possible, to use the latest NI-DAQmx Base Driver 3.4 with LabVIEW 8.2:
NI-DAQmx Base 3.4 supports
- LabVIEW 2010
- LabVIEW 2009
- LabVIEW 8.6.x and
- LabVIEW 8.5.x
If you need LabVIEW 8.2.x support, you have to use NI-DAQmx Base 3.3, this one supports
- LabVIEW 2009
- LabVIEW 8.6.x
- LabVIEW 8.5.x and
- LabVIEW 8.2.x
It is not possible to add LabVIEW 8.2.x compatibility to NI-DAQmx Base 3.4. I hope, this clarifies the version compatibility.
Best Regards

USB 6009 and DAQmx Base Concerns

Hello,
I just received a USB-6009 multifunction DAQ device along with DAQmx Base for use on Windows XP with LabWindows/CVI ver 7.1. Both the 6009 and DAQmxBase are successfully installed however I have several questions, I hope I am missing something obvious:
1. The Task Configuration Utility is not needed for use with LabWindows/CVI? I believe I read this in the Getting Started Guide.
2. There is no function panel for the DAQmxBase functions? I even searched the installation CD and found no .fp files. So the only way to know what functions are available with DAQmxBase is to open the NIDAQmxBase.h file and search through the function prototypes? Then, to know what a function does it is necessary to open the C Function Reference Manual via the Windows Start button and search for the function name of interest?
3. When creating a digital input or output channel with DAQmxBaseCreateDIChan or DOChan is it only possible to setup a "channel" as an entire port? Is it not possible to setup a channel as a single input or output line? Similarly, once the channel is configured is it only possible to read or write an entire port with DAQmxBaseReadDigitalU8 or WriteDigitalU8? I was expecting something similar to the DIG_out_line function used in Traditional NI-DAQ where a board number, port number, line number and state are passed so that a signal output line can be set on or off.
Thanks in advance for the assistance,
- Aaron

**Well, the ReadMe file says that USB-6008/9 is supported with both Line I/O and Port I/O. On the other hand, the documentation for DAQmxBaseCreateDOChan and DAQmxBaseCreateDIChan say for the lineGrouping parameter, "Always pass DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines." So your question is a good one! Perhaps one of the NI engineers can comment on this.

New user DAQmx and DAQmx Base

I have just started monitoring this list and I have a few general questions. I apologize if they are kinda basic!
1) My application is somewhat unusual- I am developing a plug-in for my company's product (Igor Pro) to access NI DAQ boards. This product has been shipping for several years using NI-DAQ (now traditional). I am re-writing it to use DAQmx. Development is in C/C++.
Is this the most appropriate forum?
2) Igor Pro runs on both Windows and Mac OS X, so I plan to use DAQmx Base on OS X.
Is this the best forum for DAQmx Base? On OS X?
Thanks for any advice; I look forward to participating in the future!

Drag-and-drop issue with Linux, KDE

My application used to work fine, but when i tested it on Linux drag and drop stopped working.
I used snippet that would take list of supported DataFlavors of Transferable and used for loop to find a javafilelist one. (isJavaFileListType()).
Well, now, it does that flava scan, but it doesn't find javafilelisttype in the list!
I tried to retrieve String, serializedobject.. no use. It throws and illegal action exception of DnD or something like that.
Does anybody know what's wrong, or had similar issues? I use j2 of v 1.5.2
I shall provide you with more info if it's something totally new.

I'd be interested in the answer to this too.
It only just started happening to me a day or so ago, about the time that I think I did an OS upgrade.
I'm on OSX 10.8.2.
Its annoying.
I can drop and drag in Finder but it just affects email.

Install HRCS9.0 and PT8.53 with Linux Issue: the files intiPT853.ora and initHRCS90.ora: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded

Folks,
Hello. I have installed PeopleTools 8.53 with Oracle Linux 5.10 successfully. The entire PeopleTools runs correctly in browser at the beginning.
After I set up HCM and Campus Solution 9.0 Database Instance named HRCS90 in Linux successfully, PeopleTools 8.53 Database Instance PT853 cannot be mounted. Its error message is below:

But after set up another instance HRCS90, the above error message comes up and instance PT853 cannot mounted. I change the value of db_files from 1021 to 1500 in the file initPT853.ora and restart OS Linux. But get the same error as below:

As we see above, the instance HRCS90 works corretly and PT853 cannot start up. The parameter DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora has an issue.
My question is:
Because 1021 and 1500 are not enough to startup instance PT853, what value should be used for DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora ?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what does "Instance" mean here.

Are you not using a spfile ? Does the file contain really the 3 values ? What is the last ? Have you checked the value in the database side "show parameter db_files" ?
>But after set up another instance HRCS90, the above error message comes up and instance PT853 cannot mounted
Again, I have no idea what it means.

Again, I don't understand what are HRCS90 and PT853 exactly. Cannot help.

I'm sure, you don't have an issue with this parameter, 1500 files in the database is quite huge number. I built a demo recently, the default value 1021 was ok for me. You should have done something wrong somewhere.

Numeric Keypad not working with Forms6i and Netscape4.7 with Linux ??

Hello everybody.
trying to make things work, just found that can't make work numeric keypad while using Netscape 4.7 with forms in Linux.
Does someone can help me??
Thanks in advance..
Oxiel

That's bizarre. I don't think there are any OS X settings that will solve your problem. I would first check to make sure the "Num Lock" key on your keyboard is not set to disable your number pad. Then have a look at the Logitech support website. It's possible you need to download a driver or a patch of some sort. Or your problem might be covered in a FAQ or a knowledge base article there.

Nokia 3500 classic and its connectivity with Linux...

Hi All,
Can you tell me if nokia 3500 classic can be connected to a linux PC or not?
I am in a hurry.
Thank you.

Me too I'm having almost the same problem.I'm from Mauritius.
My configurations:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Phone Model:Nokia 3500 classic
Cable usedKE-2
Nokia PC Suite 7.1.18.0
I've got a Nokia 3500 Classic & tried to connect it to my PC,which has Nokia PC Suite 7.1.18.0 installed.
When I connect it to my PC,the PC displays the message "Nokia 3500c connected via USB".
The grey icon becomes blue/green.
When I click on "Backup",Nokia Content Copier loads.When I click on "Back up the desired phone contents to a backup file which is saved on the PC", I get the message "Failed to open connection to the selected phone.Reconnect your phone and try again."
When I open Nokia PC Sync, it displays "Not connected".
When I start Contacts, it says "Refreshing of contacts failed."
When I open Nokia Communication Centre-Calendar,it displays "The Calendar View could not read the entries from your device".
When I open Nokia Music Manager,somewhere it's written "Nokia 3500c(Not supported)".
When I go on Nokia Image Store,it displays "No supported phones connected".
How come that my mobile appears to be connected to my PC,but applications inside PC Suite do not detect my mobile?

How to recognize s-series daq card in DAQmx Base 2.0

I installed the "DAQmx BASE 2.0", and then installed 3 PCI DAQ boards. It can recognize PCI-6024E and PCI-6713, but not PCI-6133.
I followed exactly the same procedure as in the document called "How do I use NI-DAQmx Base with PCI/PXI Devices on Windows?"
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/9C4E9FD0C7469BC286256F100074EADC?OpenDocument
However, there is a web page (the link below) having labview example programs using DAQmx Base for "NI 6110 S Series Multifunction DAQ". So I think probably there is a way to recognize the S-series devices in DAQmx base.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/722DDAB4E914073D8625708100773677
Does anybody know how to recognize S-series device in DAQmx Base 2.0?
Thanks

Alan,
Thank you very much for the quick response.
The reason I explored DAQmx: I want to do RLP and DAQmx Base has a simpler interface and more examples for RLP.
The reason I want to go RLP instead of DAQmx is a long story.
Summary of my applications:
I need to read 4 input voltage (using PCI-6133) and then generate 12 voltages (using two PCI-6713 each has 8 outputs). Since the 12 generated voltages are related to the 4 input voltages, single sample /N channel AD/DA is required. The speed for the overall control loop has to be >100 kHz.
Summary of my configurations:
PIII, 700 MHz CPU, 512 MB RAM
PCI-6133 and PCI 6713, LabVIEW 7.0, and DAQmx 8.0
I also have PCI-6110 and PCI-6024E cards for comparison
Summary for 4 channel single point acquisition (See the table below, AD only)
1) The difference between P3/700MHz computer and P4/3GHz computer is very small
2) The S-series performed worse than E- and M- Series
     Spec (kS/s)   Tested by me(700MHz P3)   by NI engineer (3GHz P4)
6024E   200/4            15.7 kHz                    17.36 kHz
6040E   250/4                                        18.9 kHz
6251   1000/4                                        23.0 kHz
6133   2500/1            13.8 kHz
Summary for single channel single point acquisition (See the table below, AD only)
1) The S-series performed much worse than E- and M- Series (simultaneous sampling is worse?)
     Spec (kS/s)    Tested by me (700MHz P3)
6024E    200/1           54.8 kHz
6110    5000/1           19.4 kHz
6133    2500/1           14.5 kHz
Simulated device          135 kHz
Summary for single channel single point AO (See the table below, DA only)
The spec of 6024E is only 10kS/s, but the loop can run at 132 kHz (the output from the port was not correct for sure). Using a simulated device (either 6024E or 6713), the loop rate is ~ 134 kHz (probably due to my low speed computer). This means the latency from 6024E devices is virtually zero. However, the latency from 6713 is way too much.
      Spec (kS/s)   tested by me (700MHz P3)
6024E    10/1             132 kHz
6713   1000/1              38 kHz
Simulated device          134 kHz
From all the above tests, it seems that s-series device (6133) and AO device (6713) perform much poorly in single point mode compared to E-series device (6024E). I thought the difference might be due to the driver in DAQmx. So, I want to try RLP to see whether I can gain up control loop speed to 100 kHz for my applications.
Your suggestions and advices are appreciated.
Thanks

Why are the NI-DAQmx Base for LabVIEW options grayed out using custom install (with Action:Skip)?

I'm trying to install NI-DAQmx Base 3.7.0 for LabVIEW 2013 (LV is installed). When I try Standard Install, it doesn't install for LabVIEW (only the Common and C and USB tools), but gives a successful installation message.
When I try Custom Install, all of the "...for LabVIEW 20XX" options are unchecked, grayed out and the Action says "Skip".
I'm trying this on a 2011 MacBook Air 11" running OS 10.9. LabVIEW runs fine.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Solved!

Hi,
OS 10.9 is not officially supported by NI with the DAQmx Base 3.7. This information is from the description of the driver (http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-base-3.7/4272/en/):
OS Support—NI-DAQmx Base now supports the following versions of Mac OS X:
Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)
Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
So this seems to the be the problem. Either you choose another OS version or wait for a new driver which supports 10.9

Can I measure pulswidths with daqmx base and NI-USB6501

Can I measure pulswidths with daqmx base 1.4 and NI-USB6501? I can measure edges width this function: DAQmxBaseCreateCICountEdgesChan. But, when using DAQmxBaseCreateCIPulseWidthChan I always get an error message back (DAQmxBase Error: <err>Value passed to the Task/Channels In control is invalid).
I also cannot find any examples about this topic in the software on CD nor on the internet.
I also don't know what values to use for the float64 minVal and float64 maxVal arguments when using the pulse width function of above (see the NI-DAQ™mx Base 1.x C Function Reference Help).
Maybe my device (NI USB6501) cannot measure pulse width's and when it does measure pulse width's, what value will it give back? Seconds or ticks and what is the accuracy?
Ok, enough questions for now. Thank you in avance for answering.
D. Stollman

The USB-6501 counter is capable of falling edge edge counting
measurements only, so the type of measurement you wish to do is not
possible with that device. The data sheet for the USB-6501 can be
found at the following link:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/products/us/20054920301101dlr.pdf
I believe the DAQPad-6015 and DAQPad-6016 USB devices are capable of
measuring pulse width, as well as many of NI's PCI data acquisition
devices.

NI-DAQmx Base 2.0 and Win Mobile 5

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if NI-DAQmx Base 2.0 is compatable with Win Mobile 5 devices?
I'm trying to capture analogue voltages and my app builds fine and loads to the PDA, but the PDA is not seeing the PCMCIA DAQ card (6062E) that I'm using.
I have run the "Base" installer which has copied the Base driver file/s to the PDA (and I have the Base task setup OK in the VI), but the PDA comes up with an "Unrecognized Card" error. I have removed the Base driver/s from the PDA and reinstalled them but with no luck.
Is this just because Base 2.0 is not compatable with Win Mobile 5?
Is there any way I can get Base 2.1 to work with LV-Pro-8 and PDA-8 or is there some other way I can get the drivers onto the PDA that will handle the 6062 card under Win Mobile 5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Paul,
Good afternoon and I hope your well.
One thing to bear-in-mind is that DAQmx Base doesn't offically support Windows Moble 6 devices - even though they have been seen to work. This is not to get confused with LabVIEW 8.6 which does support Windows Mobile 6. i.e. just not DAQ applications/DAQ hardware.
I am another customer, here at NI UK Support and I have another customer with the an issue with WM6 and DAQ CF, I'd like to work more with you on this.. could you please provide more details on how it goes tomorrow and the tests you do.
For reference please look at these links:

LABVIEW PDA/DAQmx Base error

I'm building a VI for a PDA (pocketPC 2003)
In a Functions Panel, when I'm going in a menu "Measurement I/O" => "DAQmx Base", it misses many icons. I have installed and uninstalled three time DaqmxBase 2.2 with the same result (icon.jpg). I have installed Daqmx Base 3.0 and the problem is always there. Moreover, when I'm going in menu "Select VI" in a Functions Panels, I can open anothers Daqmx Base VI, but there is many errors (error.jpg).

Hi,
LabVIEW PDA support for DAQ is limited. The number of DAQ VI's available on LabVIEW PDA is also limited.
I could not clearly view your error list but I did run across a possibly useful Knowledge Base article. I am also including the Known Issues with LabVIEW PDA 8.2.1 . I hope this helps!

Installing NI-DAQmx Base using a LabVIEW built installer

I am using a PDA, LabVIEW Mobile Module and the CF-6004 to perform instrument control and data acquistion for a handheld instrument I am developing. Because this instrument is going to be used by another party outside my organization, I am also supplying support software for a companion PC. The support software includes ActiveSync to connect the PC and the PDA, a LabVIEW built application for viewing the data collected by the handheld instrument, a LabVIEW built application for installing/updating the LabVIEW (Mobile Module) built PDA applications and NI-DAQmx Base to install the drivers on the PDA. Ni-DAQmx Base needs to be included because if the PDA battery runs down completely, programs/drivers I installed are lost and the other party needs to have the ability to reinstall the necessary files on the PDA.
The problem is that I cannot find a way to include NI-DAQmx Base in the installer I build to install my LabVIEW built applications onto the PC. It is not listed under the Additional Installers catagory of the installer properties. I cannot run the NI-DAQmx Base Setup.exe with the "Run executable at end of installation" option because I cannot have two LabVIEW installers running simultaneously.
Right now my work around is to use a batch file to install each component sequentially.
Is there anyway to include my my LabVIEW built executables, the Run-Time Engine and NI-DAQmx Base in the same installer package?
Thanks,
DAJone

Hello, It is necessary to install Daqmx Base on the machine connected to the PDA and then use the Utility to install it on the PDA. See page 4 of the Mobile Module Manual:

Labview 8.5 Linux, I can't use DAQmx Base constants

I'm trying to move an application from Windows to Linux, I'm running RH5 Workstation with LV 8.5 and the newest NI-DAQmx Base installed. I've created tasks using the NI DAQmx Base Task Configuration utility.
However, when I create a Task constant in my block diagram, I cannot select any tasks with it, the arrow down-button is just greyed out. The same goes for the other I/O-constants (Physical Channel constant and Device constant). I've tried typing the task name, but the program just exits with an error.
It seems as though LabView doesn't know where to get information about devices and defined tasks, do I need to do anything to tell LV where to look?
A mysterious thing though, is that I've tried running a sample program, which makes use of one of the predefined tasks and that seemed to work (at least it did not exit with an error). Even more mysterious: When I tried to run the same sample now, it tells me that it can't be opened since I'm running LV 8.2.1, even though I'm running LV 8.5.
Any ideas of what to do? Would it be meaningful to uninstall DAQmx Base and install DAQmx instead (i chose DAQmx Base since the last DAQmx-version was from 2005 or so).
Thank you in advance.
