LabView doesn't see USB device

Hallo,
I have LabView 8.5 installed and two LogicBoxes (NIMbox NDL8 and NAD4) via USB connected. By typing in the proper USB-ID of NIMbox NDL8 in the
VISA everything
just worked fine. Then I realized this doesn't work for the other modul, so I tried switched cables and reinstalled the USB driver.
The current situation:
Windows XP detects the USB devices without any problem - always has. However, suddenly I can't connect in LabView with them by typing
in the USB-ID. The whole time the modules never showed up in MAX, but since they aren't NI instruments I think that was to expect anyway.
I just have no idea why it worked first partly and now it doesn't work at all.
Even though my problem description is kind of vague - I'm new to LabView.
I would really appriciate advice, which things I should check in order to get the USB working again.
Thanks!
Nathan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In case you are longing for more detailed information (which I red between your lines), there is a Tutorial on USB instrument Control which seems to match your case:

Perhaps you could give a feedback whether that helped or not.

Itunes doesn't see my devices

I've recently plugged (USB cable) my ipod and my iphone in to the mac book pro that they are always plugged into for syncing and backing up via iTunes. However, now iTunes doesn't see these devices, nor any other devices I plug in.
Anyone had this problem?

Try the suggestions in this support document:

MBP doesn't see usb card reader

I have a MAUSB-10 card reader and my MBP doesn't see it. It's usb and was plugged into my xp box, but I'm trying to switch everything over to mac and this is a major stumbling block. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the MBP to see the reader..... cmd line force? anything!?!
Thank you in advance.

I just tried a Sandisk USB 2.0 Card Reader/Writer for Sony style memory stick. Model SDDR-170-A10M. My 15" MacBook Pro will not mount the memory stick on the desktop. I have a support e-mail into Sandisk, but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make this work in the meantime?
I am seeing no Apple Mac OSX specific drivers. The device did come with a Windows driver software mini-cd-disc. Which I beleive I couldn't use on my internal CD drive anyway.
Any thoughts out there would be much appreciated!
BTW an SIIG, Inc. ExpressCard 11-in-1 R/W card does work! I just thought the Sandisk "thumb-drive" style R/W device would be a more universal way to work between computers.

Finder doesn't see USB drive - Another one!

I shall describe the situation:
400GB SATA HDD in triple interface enclosure. Drive partitioned into six volumes.
This drive mounts and runs fine on a brand-new MacMini (OS 10.5), a 3 year old PowerBook (OS 10.4.11), a 7 year old TiBook 667 (OS 10.3.9), and a PowerBook G3 500 'Bronze' (first FireWire, OS 10.2.8).
But on my MacBook Pro, Finder doesn't see it.
Every other program on my MacBookPro that I can run sees this drive: DiskUtility, USB Probe, TechTool, Disk Warrior, all say everything is fine, and the disk IS mounted.
Finder doesn't see it, not on the desktop, not in a Finder window, not in any open/close dialogue boxes.
Doesn't matter how it's connected, USB, FireWire 400 or 800, or which cables are used.
Since Finder can't see it, I have to make sure I go to DiskUtility to unmount them, or I get the Device Removal warning.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Anyone know which switch got set wrong and how to set it back?

I have several identical 400GB external drives connected via Belkin hubs.
They have worked flawlessly until the latest Security Update.
Now one of them will no longer show up when connected via the hub but will if connected directly. The other identical drives still work ok.
It won't show in Finder or Disk Utility unless connected direct and this is quite reproducible. No problems reading it on a Macbook with Leopard either.

IMac doesn't "see" USB Flash drive on initial insertion

Hi,
I have a new iMac running Mavericks with a powered SIIG external USB hub. (Rear USB port design on iMac is inconvenient).
Problem: When I insert a NTFS-formatted USB Flash drive into the hub, the light blinks as expected, but the iMac doesn't "see" it and it doesn't show up in "Devices".
When I remove and re-insert the USB drive, the iMac then "sees" it just fine and it shows up in "Devices"
Seeing this consistently.
Any ideas what might be happening here?
I also have Paragon NTFS installed to enable read/write to external NTFS drives.
Thanks.

I've tried 2 Anker 10 port hubs with my brand new iMac 27" Retina. No storage device is recognized when connected via the hub. The same storage devices are recognized when I plug directly into my iMac. So there seems to be an issue from the iMac to the hub.

How to build a Labview driver for a USB device?

I have purchased a USB Hall probe (a device that measures magnetic fields) and now I need to build a LabVIEW driver for it (the company that sells this device did not build drivers for it, to keep the price down I suppose). The USB device does come with an operating software, but what I need is to control the device using LabVIEW. I have some experience with LabVIEW, but none with building drivers. I don´t really know where to start, so any advice would be helpful.

To do USB in LabVIEW you'll want to get the NI-VISA driver. After you've got VISA, check out a few examples:
USB Instrument Control Tutorial
Six Things You Need to Know about USB Instrument Control
There are also examples built in to LabVIEW (under Help>>Find Examples to open the NI Example Finder, then under Hardware Input and Output>>VISA)

W520 only seeing USB devices after restart

My w520 has been acting rather strange recently. It's actually been acting up for some time but i've ignored it (kind of like putting the black tape over the check engine light).
Most of the issue seems to revolve around my USB. At some random point in time after starting up my machine, it will stop seeing new usb devices that I plug in unless I restart. Once I restart it sees everything fine. I can even plug new devices in. However after a while if I try to plug something new in, it won't show. Likewise it also won't see SD cards that I plug in to the SD slot.
I'm also having an issue where if I try to shut down or restart, the computer will never shut down windows. It just sits there saying 'shutting down windows' forever, until I just hold the power button to kill it.
any ideas?
thanks for any help

Are you sure it's not devices you have already added to the system before where this is happening? I ask because I have seen similar but it was devices that had already been attached to the system at some point and reattaching them (actually it was an external HD in my case --the external adapter was faulty and would only work sometimes and was not always detected by the OS when reinserted either). Interesting about the reader because I think it too is a USB device (and you mentioned it ;-)). Just an fyi I have also seen similar shutdown behavior on my w520 and that was associated with issues with another USB device, in that case it was the drivers (backing back down to the previous drivers resolved the issue and the laptop would then shutdown properly again. You will have to try to narrow it to the specific device causing the hang. What I would do is just get everything USB at a baseline and then start uninstalling and testing things. You seem to have a couple, related things, going on here but perhaps different root issues. Maybe focus first on the SD cardreader. What are the other devices not detected?
(Sorry for the edits, had to think about the similar issues I had).

Broadcaster doesn't see firewire device

Hi,
I just updated a rarely used server from 10.3.4 to 1.3.9. Prior to the update, we would occasionally use the server for QTSS using Broadcaster and a firewire input video signal. It worked nicely.
After the upgrade, Broadcaster can't see the firewire device. I have 10.4.5 (non-server) installed on another HD in the same box (which is what it is booted with most of the time) and I can switch to that OS and Broadcaster can see the device just fine. That means my port works.
The box worked just fine prior to the 10.3.9 upgrade, so the question is, is there a setting file somewhere that turning firewire off, or preventing Broadcaster from seeing it?
When we switch to this box for streaming, it's as a backup, but using server and QTSS works better than using Darwin Streaming Server and Broadcaster for some reason. This is why we need this fixed.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

Are you using Broadcaster (as part of QTSS) or QuickTime Broadcaster (the separate application)?
To be safe, you may want to do the encoding portion of the webcast on a separate workstation anyway which will feed the QTSS server. Then you can setup a relay to your backup server and use that as a "backup" or for load balancing or for whatever.
I am going to run a test on one of my machines to see if I have a similar problem.... I'm intrigued.....

Flash Builder 4.6 (OS X 10.8.2) doesn't see android device, adb does

Using the command line tools I can view devices and install builds, but I can't get Flash Builder to see the device.

On windows I see it here:

How can I make a labview application for a usb-device?

I've built an application using the FT8U245AM from FTDI. This is a chip that converts signals into usb signals. Now I want to set parameters using labview. There is a driver provided with the chip, that makes it possible to turn the usb port into a virtual com-port. But how do I continue from here? Do I write my application as if it were a classic serial port device, using VISA, or is it more complicated than this?

We had an RS-232 design that communicated with LabVIEW via the plain old serial commands here that needs to be converted to USB and CAN.
A serial-USB chip was inserted to account for the hip USB transition. As i've been told by the electronics designer, it worked without a flaw (I don't remember the type used however).

One of my Macs doesn't see USB drive hooked to Airport Extreme

I have three Macs on my home network. Two of them can see the USB drive I've attached to my Airport Extreme, but the third -- a recent Intel Mac Mini -- won't. Airport Utility on the Mac Mini sees the drive, but Airport Disk Utility doesn't. Here's what I've tried:
~ Restarting the Airport Extreme
~ Retarting the Mac Mini
~ Reinstalling the Airport Extreme software on the Mini.
Any ideas?

have you gone to the network button in the finder and searched for it after pushing the network button?

Can't create recovery media -- R&R doesn't see USB dvd-r drive

I have a cheap asus usb dvd-r drive. When I plug it in, everything's recognized by windows 7, however, when I get to the screen in create recovery media where I have to selected my device to record on, the drop down menu is blank and I can't select my USB dvd-r drive. I have seen some other threads telling me to uninstall the driver and restart, but that hasn't worked. Any ideas?
x201 tablet, windows 7 32-bit

plsfoldthx, welcome to the forum,
please do and check the following; attach the drive when the system is turned off, start the system and then enter bios (F1). Navigate to and open the startup menu and check that the drive is recognised by bios, hit F10 and then enter to save and exit. The system will restart.
Once windows has booted have another look in R&R to see if the drive is recognised.
I've always suspected that R&R calls up it's drive information from bios because hot plugging a drive has never worked for me with R&R.
