LabVIEW/Lab-PC-1200

Hi, I am trying to use LabVIEW to generate a waveform and send it to a phantom using a Lab-PC-1200 card.However I can't seem o get my program to recognise the Lab-PC card.Any suggestions?
( I can see the Lab-PC card in MAX but can't get it to work on LabVIEW.)Thanks in advance.

This card is not supported by DAQmx 7.0+ see the attached KB

Lab-PC-1200 not responding in Win2000

I was using a functioning system using a Lab-PC-1200 DAQ card and Win98 and LabView 5.1.1. I upgraded the computer to Win2000, and now I am having problems.
When I first run my application, everything seems fine (I read my analog inputs from the card correctly), but when I run a portion of the application that involves data collection in a While Loop, I get an "Error -10452 @ AI Single Scan. NI-DAQ LV: No inerrupt level is available for use."
After a while of trying to troubleshoot that problem unsuccessfully, I try to go into M&A Explorer and Test Resources and get "The device is not responding to the selected base address." I was not getting this error before.
So my first goal is to find out why the device is no longer re
sponding. I am running NI-DAQ 6.9.3. In the Win2000 device manager, it says everything is operating correctly. I have tried rebooting, reseating the card, deleting the device then rebooting to re-install the drivers, and nothing seems to work.
I have read through several other complaints of similar problems, but no solutions yet. Any other ideas out there?

Hello,
I was able to find a document which is similar to your problem, although a different operating system. It sounds like for your case, you have an IRQ assigned, so that will differ from the information that I found. Regardless, I will post it for information that could assist you. I suggest checking the resources and seeing if there is anything else that is sharing your resources. If there are, either assign a different IRQ (if available) to your device, or disable the devices that are sharing. The other suggestion that I have for you is to try the device in a different computer to see if you can isolate the problem to either the board or the computer. If it is the board, then you can send the device in for a repair.
Good luck.

================================
The following trick was used on a Windows98 machine to assign an IRQ to a Lab-PC-1200 board (AT-interface) when no free IRQs were available. The lack of free IRQs caused an error -10452 during any buffered acquisition. In this case, we deliberately created a resource conflict with LPT1 and the DAQ Card, both using IRQ 7, to get the DAQ card working. The "trick" is to know that the user cannot simultaneously use LPT1 and the DAQ card and live with the conflict. Before trying this procedure, confirm that the DAQ card installed properly, and the only problem is the lack of an IRQ assignment to the card because none are available.
1) In Win9x, enter start >> settings >> control panel >> system >> device manager >> select "computer" >> properties >> select "View Resources" and IRQ. Browse the list and determine if any free IRQ levels are available - also determine what resources which are currently used are not needed. (*note : do not mess with any entries that you do not understand). In this case, the user identified LPT1 as a used resource that he would not need. Press "cancel" to get back to the device manager tab.
2) In the system control panel device manager, select the DAQ card lacking an IRQ resource under "Data Acquisition Devices". Select "properties" and go to the resources tab. Uncheck "Use Automatic Settings" and select a configuration that allows entry of an IRQ. Select IRQ and press "Change Setting", scroll through the list of IRQs until you select one used by a device that you know you can live without. In this case, we selected IRQ 7 for LPT1. (note - you can also try reserving IRQ resources under the "reserve resources" tab).
3) Reboot the computer.
4) Enter Device Manager again - observe that the two devices are now showing a conflict on the selected IRQ - this is normal and on-purpose.
5) Enter Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). Select the DAQ card and test resources. The device should now pass the test.
Other Suggestion:
In the BIOS, some computers allow you to select PCI only, ISA only, or both PCI/ISA for various slots, and thus reserves resources for those slots. You may be able to enter the BIOS and select "Both PCI/ISA" to free resources for use with ISA cards if they are reserved for PCI cards.

Unable to detect Lab Pc 1200 in max 3.0

I am currently trying to install a legacy NI DAQ card
Lab PC 1200 onto a Windows 98 machine. I believe this is a plug and play card as the windows operating system is detecting it everytime I boot up the machine. THe windows keep on prompting me for the driver.
From the NI website, I have obtained NI DAQ 7.0 installation. I have installed it but I still could not find any such devices under the device settings. I have try refreshing the list a few times by clicking view/refresh. However, there is still no such device
Currently, I have only installed the NI DAQ 7.0. I do not have any other NI software product like Labview. Will this affect the card installation? I have attached the MAX 3.0 configuration pix

In the NI-DAQ 7.0 Readme file you will find that the Lab PC 1200 is no longer supported by the NI-DAQ driver. This is one of our legacy devices as will not be ported to our new driver.
If you wish to use this board, you will have to install version 6.9.3, or previous, of the NI-DAQ driver. You can find version 6.9.3 on our website at http://www.ni.com by clicking on Download Software or by using the following link directly.

Counting TTL pulses from 10 Hz to 3000000Hz with LAB-PC-1200

I want to count TTL pulses from an electron analyser. How can I use the DAQ wizard to connect the analyser to the PC-1200 and look if it works?

Augerspectro,
The counter chip used on the Lab-PC-1200 is the 8253. Thus, you will be able to use any of the 8253-counter examples available in LabVIEW. To count pulses, I would suggest that you examine the Count Events (8253).vi example. With regards to the required hardware connection, this is discussed in the device's user manual (link available below).

Good luck with your application.

What is the Analog Ouput FIFO size of the LAB PC 1200 ?

Hello,
does anyone know what is the Analog Ouput FIFO size of the LAB
PC 1200 ? I can't find anything in the documentation nor with "Get DAQ
device information" vi.
Thanks.

The Lab PC 1200 does not have an analog output FIFO.

Lab PC 1200 AO with different polarities

Hi,
I'm trying to configure a Lab PC 1200 card to have one AO channel bi-polar
and the other unipolar (WinNT NI-DAQ 6.5.1). I'm sure I used to be able to
do this, and the manuals imply that it is possible, but I can't see how to
do it with NI-DAQ 6.5.1. Can anyone tell me how to do this ?

Lab-PC-1200 ISAPNP

Lab-PC-1200 is not detecting in win98. Can I install 1200 manually?
Is Lab-PC-1200 driver for win98 supports Intel chipset 815?

Hello Sajen,
What version of the driver are you using? For that particular DAQ board, you will need the 6.9.3 driver.
Have you successfully installed this board on another machine? I do not know of any incompatibility with the Intel 815 chipset.

How do I do to set a port as two 4-bit I/O ports with LAB-PC-1200/AI?

My user manual say that in Mode 0 port C (with the Lab-PC-1200) is considered to be two 4-bit I/O ports.
How can I do to set this function in LabView?

Unfortunately, you will be unable to accomplish this in LabVIEW. This operation is not supported by the data acquisition driver. NI-DAQ will generate an error when trying to configure port C as two 4-bit ports. While NI-DAQ does not support this function, it is possible to use register-level programming. Application Note 131 includes sample register level programming code that will accomplish this task.

Older version of LabView available?

I would like to put together an "antique" data aquisition system utilizing
an older DAQ board and an IBM AT machine that I have kicking around. It's
just sort of a hobby thing rather than a serious instrumentation project.
I have the board (NI Lab-PC-1200) and the computer (IBM AT) and was hoping
to find a version of LabView that would run under MS-DOS 6.0 and I guess I
would be looking for some drivers too.
I currently have LabView 6.0 for use with some 21st century equipment, but
it will only run under windows. When I called up NI, my local sales guy felt
that my current license would probably allow me the "right" to use the older
version, but he wasn't sure that locating the actual software would still be
possible.
Does anyone o
ut there have some old discs they would be willing to sell?
LabView is currently sold with NI-DAQ on the same disc. Would I need to find
LabView + NI-DAQ+Lab-PC-1200 drivers and load them all separately?
In the event that I can't find any of this, I suppose that it would be
possible to do register level programming using C. Does anyone have any old
code that they would like to share?

LabVIEW has never had a DOS version. You'll have to use something like Quickbasic or the old LabWindows for DOS. Before you spend a lot of time, make sure that the old NI-DAQ for DOS supports the Lab-PC-1200.

Opinions on Labview books....

I'm a newbie at Labview and I'm looking at purchasing a couple of books:
Learning with LabVIEW 6i, 2nd Edition, Robert H. Bishop
OR
LabVIEW Advanced Programming Techniques by Rick Bitter
Does anyone have any comments on either of these?
I am looking for a good beginners reference and also a more advanced book
which covers initial design techniques and how to structure larger
applications.

I used the 1st edition to learn LabVIEW. If you can get the version with the
Student Edition of LabVIEW you can teach yourself LabVIEW very easily. Highly
recommended particularly for learning.
I also like "Advanced LabVIEW labs" by John Esseck. This covers an awful lot
of the minutiae that is left undiscussed in Bishop's book.
>OR
>LabVIEW Advanced Programming Techniques by Rick Bitter
This isn't so much a how to book, but a how would it be done. I probably
would advise against it. You certainly aren't going to learn to program in
LabVIEW from this book.

As Joe suggests, Gary Johnson's books are generally good. I like "LabVIEW
Graphical Programming, Practical Applications in Instrumentation and Control"
is good, but I like Power Programming even better. Lot's of HIGH POWER
applications and examples. Mr. Johnson's books are definitely not tutorials
however. Once you have your basic skill set down his books are very good at
taking you to the next step.
Don't overlook NI's LabVIEW manuals available at
ftp.ni.com/support/labview/manuals
You will probably wear out your printer, but the users manual (P/N 320999C-01)
and the measurements manual (P/N 322661A-01) are really good places to start.

Measurement & Automation explorer 2.0
After using the PCI-6025 E during an hour with the Measurement & Automation explorer 2.0 software, the message :�Le périphérique ne repond pas à l�adresse de base, voulez vous continuer?� or « the device does not respond to is base address, do you want to continue ? »
All the informations , even in the System Configuration Panel, seem to be in order. It seems that the problem occurs after I have tried to use also the Lab PC 1200 by the way of the Measurement & Automation explorer 2.0.
I have tried to:
� restart the software,
� stop the PC and restart it after a while,
� uninstall NI-DAQ 6.9.3 and all NI softwares
� Install NI-DAQ 7
The same problem was always here.
� stop the PC remove all the Cards except the video card
� restart the PC
� stop the PC and put only the PCI-6025E Card
The same problem was always here.
� uninstall NI-DAQ 7 and all the NI softwares
� stop the PC and remove the PCI-6025E Card
� Install NI-DAQ 6.9.3
� Stop the PC and install the PCI-6025E Card in another PCI Slot.
The same problem was always here.
I have each time try to change the number of the card by the use of Measurement and automation explorer 2.0 but with no success.
How can I do to use again this card?
I really thank you for any response.
NICOLAS Gabriel.

Hey Nicolas,
Try opening up the Reset Device.vi inside of LabVIEW and execute the VI. All you have to do is set the correct device number and check that the error returned is 0 and not another error number. In many cases a crashed program can cause the devices to enter into an unsafe state that they need to be reset from.
It is possible that you damaged the device and that it will need to be sent in for repair, but in most cases a reset will fix the issue. Also, try opening up MAX and right-click on Traditional NI-DAQ Devices under Devices and Interfaces and click on reset Traditional NI-DAQ. If that doesn't work try the Device reset under DAQmx as well.
I hope this helps out.

Measure HIGH frequency with counter

I want to measure 1 Mhz range freq with lab PC 1200 board

Hello;
The maximum frequency that the source input of the counter can have a signal hooked up to is 8 MHz.
To measure a 1MHz signal, just connect that signal to the source pin of the counter, and use one of the examples that both NI-DAQ and Labview have to start your application.
Hope this helps.
