MAX cannot auto-detect my SCXI cards in my PXI-1011 chassis.

I manually set up the SCXI-1140 cards and ran my labview program. The measured data was bad. I tracked down the problem and figured it was the chassis that had the problem. I wondered if the incorrect data was related to the auto-dectection problem of the chassis.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Tin;
If you could narrow the problem down to a bad chassis, the bad data you acquired befored is definitely due to that bad chassis.

  • Configuring 8 nos. of SCXI-1520 card to be acquired by DAQ boards in a PXI-1011 chassis

    Hi,
    I have a single PXI-1011 combo chassis in which I am putting 8 no. of SCXI-1520 cards. I have following doubts in configuring all the channels of scxi modules to DAQ boards as below:
    1. For parallel mode interface, what condition should be met ? Is it the total no. of channels of DAQ boards equal to total no. of channels of SCXI modules or no. of DAQ boards equal to the no. of SCXI modules ?
    2. Suppose i am putting 2 nos. of PXI-6071E (64 diff. channels), can i make one-to one connection of scxi channels (64 channels) to pxi channels(64 channels) ?
    3. Or if i am putting 1 no. of 6070E(8 diff channel), can I multiplex zeroth channel of each scxi card to zeroth channe
    l of PXI card. Similarly multiplexing remaining channels of scxi card to rest channels of pxi card will work ?

    Nirmal,
    Each SCXI module being used in parallel mode needs to be cabled directly to a separate E-Series device. This poses a problem in your situation because the PXI-1011 combo chassis does not provide access to the back of the SCXI side where the connections need to be made. If you insert an E-Series device in the right-most PXI slot of your PXI-1011 chassis, and operate all of your SCXI modules in multiplexed mode, every channel from each of the modules will be multiplexed to a single channel on the E-Series device (a dedicated backplane channel used with the SCXI side of a PXI-1011 or PXI-1010 combo chassis).
    Good luck with your application.

  • How do you configure multiple PXI 1011 chassis' in MAX?

    I have two PXI 1011 chassis'. The first has the MXI-3 card hooked to a MXI-3 PC card through fiber. The second chassis has an 8176 controller and the 6052e GPIB card. Both chassis have multiple SCXI cards. The problem is the configuration in MAX. MAX 3 picks up the MXI-3 card and chassis with all the SCXI modules, but will not pick up the 8176 chassis. This 8176 is hooked to the PC through a CAT5 ethernet switch.I know there are problems with multiple chassis configuration, but I'm sure I'm just missing something here.

    Hi,
    So it sounds like you have two PXI systems that are not connected or related to each other, is that right? Since your PXI chassis connected via MXI-3 is working fine, we�ll take that out of the equation.
    It sounds like you are trying to configure your PXI-8176 system as a Remote System through an Ethernet connection. Is your PXI-8176 running Windows (if so which version) or Real-Time (RT) operating system?
    If you are running Windows XP on the PXI-8176 and also on your computer you can use XP Remote Desktop to control your PXI-8176 system through Ethernet (see the following link for information on that):
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/C074C33​F4DE3FA5186256D3D007788DA?OpenDocument
    Another option is to use Remote Device Access (RDA) to cont
    rol your SCXI modules and DAQ board (6052E). RDA will only work with Traditional NI-DAQ, it is not supported in NI-DAQmx. I�ve included a couple of links for KB�s that have more information on RDA for you.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/3a4d2f5​f4354e53a862568c0006a8bc0?OpenDocument
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/5CC9792​C6CD4A34C862565BC0072D5DF?OpenDocument
    If you ordered your controller only with Real-Time on it you can use the following document to configure and troubleshoot your PXI-8176 RT system.

  • MAX does not detect my PXI-5122 and PXI-6551 cards in a PXI-1045 chassis.

    I have been using a PC with MXI-3 to PXI-1045 chassis to develop LabView TestStand code.  Things are fine on my development PC.  [Software configuration report attached nireport_rich.txt].
    I have a 2nd PC set aside to test my deployment packages.  I installed a GPIB card and MXI-3 card in my deployment test PC, and loaded a bunch of hardware drivers.  [Report attached nireport_depPC_0006.txt]
    All the PXI cards are found just fine when my development PC is connected, but when I power up my deployment PC (with MXI-3 connected to the 1045 chassis) -- I can't import the development configuration [exported from development PC] because the deployment PC does not see the PXI-6551 DIO card in slot 6 [PXI6::10::INSTR] and the PXI-5122 card in slot 13 [PXI8::15::INSTR].
    I keep reviewing the hardware driver versions installed, and the only small difference that I see at this point is that the deployment PC has a slightly older version of NI-Switch.
    Anybody have any ideas of what I can try next?  I'm out of ideas.

    Hello Maggie,
    Appreciate your assistance and reply.
    The pxisys.ini and pxiesys.ini files are modified by me with referring to
    1)PXI System Alliance PXI-2 SW spec,
    2)PXI-6 SW spec,
    and 3)pxisys.ini pxiesys.ini generated by MAX v5.3.0f0 with NI PXIe-1075 + NI PXIe-8133.
    The content in pxisys.ini/pxiesys.ini generated by MAX looks like simple. Consequently, I modified and checked it line by line according to actual hardware of PXES-2590+PXIe-3975. Then, MAX just list devices as described in the first post. I tried to find the root cause but in vain.
    Is this minor issue can be related any incorrect tag lines in pxisys.ini or pxiesys.ini I posted?
    Is any suggestion tests I can do to troubleshoot root cause?
    Looking forward your reply.
    Cheers,
    KL Tseng

  • Max and Automation will not recognize my scxi portion of my PXI-1050 chassis

    I have a PXI-1050 chassis with a PXI-8187 controller.  As most of you know the chassis is a PXI/SCXI combo chassis.  When I go to measurement and autoation explorer using NI-DAQ 6.9.3, and whatever version of explorer that comes with that,  All my devices are listed, the PXI-6071, PXI-6030 and 31 etc.  But when I right click on the device and create a new device the option I have to use is PXI-1010 chassis, becuase there is no option for a PXI-1050.  The entry is created but it will always fail the self check.  "Unable to test chassis at this time".  Anyone familliar with this problem?  I looked on NI.com to find a PXISYS.ini file for this chassis but with no luck. 
    Thanks
    Bill

    Bill,
    The PXI-1050 must be configured as a PXI-1010 chassis in Traditional DAQ. The PXI-1010 and PXI-1011 are legacy versions of the PXI-1050 and PXI-1052 chassis, respectively, but Traditional (Legacy) NI-DAQ only has native support for the legacy version of the chassis. But the two chassis are virtually the same.
    Also you might consider upgrading to the newer version of the Traditional DAQ driver. It can be downloaded for free by going to www.ni.com and then clicking on Drivers and Updates. Currently the newest version is 7.4.2.
    Have a great day,

  • Does Mac Pro auto-detect USB graphics card?

    Hi
    I have Mac Pro with a half dead motherboard. For whatever reason it can't recognize graphic cards. I've tried switching around with other similar graphic cards from other working Mac Pro's with the same specs (early 2008).
    If I plug in a USB graphics card, does that start working immediately or does it need to be installed before anything happens?
    I realize this Mac Pro is probably going to die on me any day now. But the USB cards are cheap (since work is paying), I can utilize it until it dies, even with weak graphic power.
    Thanks.

    I doubted there was anything to be done about the internal graphics, that's why I neglected to give other details.
    I just realized it was an older Mac Pro than I originally thought.
    It's this one with 2x3.0GHz Xeon processors (A1186) (EMC 2113)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP30
    We run Lion on all our machines.
    It used to be spending it's days as a Metadata controller for an XSAN 2.0. But we've upgraded to Lion Server, on two Mac Mini's. So it's out of a job until I can get it to give me an image on a screen.
    So the card it's not seeing is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (probably died).
    I tested these
    NVIDIA GeForce 6600
    NVIDIA GeForce 210 512 MB
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    But none of these appear to be on the list of compatibles for my Mac.
    I just need it to work for cheap right now. Buying a internal graphics card is to expensive because it's basically going to be an oversized and overpowered harddrive (maybe subjected to some SMB share experimentations).
    Right now I can't  even get it on our network because I can't see the MAC Addresses
    So no remote controlling either...

  • Simultaneously triggered acquisition: Multiple PXIe-7962R + NI-5734 cards, across multiple PXIe-1085 chasses

    Hi all,
    I need to do high-frequency, high-channel-count acquisition.
    Specs
    Signals: 10 MHz, 60 channels
    Controller: PXIe-8135 (Windows 7)
    Chasses: PXIe-1085 (2x)
    Input cards: PXIe-7962R FlexRIO base with NI-5734 digitizer (15x)
    Description
    Each FlexRIO card will store data in circular buffers, and continuously monitor the voltage levels. When any one channel exceeds the user-defined threshold, all 60 channels need to be triggered simultaneously to pass waveform data (200 μs pre-trigger, 300 μs post-trigger) to the host OS for logging.
    In other words, every FlexRIO card needs the ability to fire the trigger, which is then received by all 15 FlexRIO cards (the card that fires the trigger also needs to receive the trigger).
    Question 
    Can I achieve this with only a single PFI line? Or do I need some other technique?
    I've found some examples, but they only show single-source and single-card triggering, e.g. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-30182 uses one analogue input to trigger the acquisition of 2 channels on the same card.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Assuming you are using LV 2013 or 2014 you should download version 1.3.4 of the FlexRIO Instrument Development Library (FIDL). This will install 5734 Acquisition Engine examples which use the MultiRecord Library to stream data to the DRAM in a circular buffer, allowing you to recover pre-trigger samples. The example also demonstrate how to implement the Syncrhonization Library that synchronizes triggered acquisition to within a single sample period across multiple devices. 
    Getting the example to work across two chassis' may be difficult, but I believe it is possible. Though to do so you will need a timing and sync module in each chassis to distribute the triggers and reference clock that the sycnrhonization library requires.

  • Auto detection of PXI devices

    Hi,
    we run some PXI systems connected to PCs and sometimes the cards are swapped. Now I would like to write an application (Monitor temperatures, self calibration, calibration, SN) for all systems and need an auto detection of all cards in the system.
    Problem: The solutions provided with the DAQmx system - devices property don't seem to work (empty) if you (only) have scope/fgen/sync devices.
    If I place a IVI device control on the frontpanel  without filter I have all devices in the pull down, but can't find a property to resolve that pull down to devices....

  • How to detect HP GPIB card by MAX?

    I have an Agilent GPIB-PCI interface board 82350A, but it is not recognize by MAX. I followed the instruction from the knowledge Base: Uninstalled HP-VISA, installed HP-SICL and NI-VISA 3.0. It seems that it still doesn't work.

    Hi,
    It seems like you are reffering to the following KnowledgeBase:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/E56D3D4866BE0A8A86256942006626F0?OpenDocument
    A non-National Instruments board may or may not show up in MAX. As the KB mentions: "Since HPIB boards using HP-VISA will not be found by MAX, you must right-click on the control or constant and select "Allow Undefined Names." This will allow you to manually type the address of the instrument. Then, you must get the proper board and instrument address from the Agilent/HP I/O configuration utility."
    So you will have to add it manually in MAX as it only auto-detects National Instruments boards.
    Hope this helps.

  • NI MAX can't detect instrument but the instrument can be pinged

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of connecting a Lecroy oscilloscope to a cpu via a cross over cable with plans of controlling the scope through some VIs. I cannot get NI MAX to find the oscilloscope, even though I can ping it. Below are the steps I've taken:
    1) Installed NI-VISA and VICPPassport along with all the appropiate Lecroy drivers for Labview
    2) Configured the IP addresses of the scope and CPU and successfully pinged each other (no firewalls active, same subnet, connected with cross-over cable).
    3) Installed Lecroy's wavestudio software, established succesful communication with the scope (it had no trouble finding it automatically)
    4) Opened NI MAX and tried to auto detect the scope using create new TCP/IP option. Failed. Also, the manual option failed as well.
    I don't understand why I can ping the insturment, and interact with it using wavestudio, but NI MAX can't find it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello SimonWall,
    The VICP pport (the rules of the post do not allow me to use the word p&$$port correctly) uses port 1861.  The firmware on the TeledyneLeCroy scope will setup firewall rules to allow the LXI and the VICP connections.  Typically, the issues with a block are either the fact that WaveStudio (or some other application) is still connected to the device when attempting the connection, anti-virus software that has been installed on the scope, or the scope has been connected to a company network that implements policies that have blocked it.
    There is an app. note on the TeledyneLeCroy website that describes the VICPpport (and has the port information as well) that may help you: (Due to the rules of the community for posting here, I cannot add the link, but you can search on VICP from here)  TeledyneLeCroy App Notes
