Measurement and Automation Explorer does not recognize two identical USB 3.0 cameras at once. How do I fix this?

I am running a set up which uses 2 identical USB Point Grey cameras of the same model (FL3-U3-13S2M-CS). Both USB cameras are plugged into the computer (blue USB cables).
When I open up Measurement and Automation Explorer and look under "NI-IMAQdx Devices" in the configuration tree, LavVIEW only recognizes one of the two USB cameras. Measurement and Automation Explorer only lists one camera, in which it recognizes it as "Point Grey Camera". Why this is occurring? How can I get LabVIEW to recognize two separate cameras of the same model?

That's about the old NI-IMAQ for USB cameras. IMAQdx has built in support for DirectShow connected cameras. IMAQdx should be able to use more than one DirectShow camera at the same time, but the Point Grey DirectShow driver may have some issues.

My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
Thank you x

Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly

I have a trial version of LabView 8.5. Upon trying to change the Instrument I/O Assistant, I get "Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly. Please install from driver CD." Well, I don't have the CD since this was a trial download.
Basically, what I am trying to do is this: I want to pull 4 variables/tags from an Allen Bradley PLC and log them to an Excel spreadsheet. I am using RSLinx to communicate with the PLC, and LabView to compile the info.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any Ideas? I have the program running right now, and I'm kinda in a bind. I also tried RSView32 Works to log the info, but there isn't enough flexibility in logging. I need to log flow rate test results from a large automated machine. The mahcine does a number of operations, but we are most concerned with these four tags (since it conducts four tests at once). The problem is, the cycle time varies with the lot of product. Some products require more time as the process is more delicate. So, I can't use a time-interval logging method.
As for variable change, I can't do that either because it records the 4 test results in series; not all at the same time. That, and if the test is aborted (no tube), the previous test result value stays in the tag until there is a successful test.
I found a variable that changes once per cycle. I'd like to log the four tags once per cycle.
BUT I can't do anything until I get the I/O Wizard working.

Parallel port not detected in measurement and automation explorer

I have installed labview 2010 in windows XP.
The problem what I am facing is I could not find "Serial & Parallel port" option in Measurement and automation explorer.
After seeing the similar problem in forum I have installed Ni-Daqmx 9.0.2. But still I can not see the ports in MAX.
I think i have attached enough document .
If the parallel port is not detected in MAX can we send digital data to parallel port.
I have tested parallel port with LED connecting one leg in 1st data line(pin 2) and another in gnd(pin 25).
And my program is to blink the led for every one second but I cannot see the blinking.
Can anyone help in this regards
thank you

How do I increase the field of view in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) Version 3.1.1.3003

I am using Measurement and Automation Explorer Version 3.1.1.3003 to view pictures on a pc that are being sent from a video camera looking through a microscope. The image I see in the viewfinder of the microscope is MUCH smaller than the image that is displayed on the pc screen. Looking through the viewfinder of the microscope, I can see ~20 mm across the object, but the display from the camera in NI-MAX shows ~4.5 mm across the object. How can I change how much of an object is displayed on the screen in NI-MAX?
The camera is attached to the microscope with a camera adapter on the top of the microscope. The lenses the camera "looks" through and the lenses used when one looks through the viewfinder are the same, so theoretically, there should be no difference in what is displayed on the pc and what is seen through the viewfinder. We have ruled out the microscope and camera as the cause of the problem, which narrows it down to the NI-MAX software itself.
I saw in the forums that you can zoom out on an image; however, this does not change the distance across an image that is seen, just makes the picture of the same ~4.5 mm across the object smaller in size.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I have attached a picture of the object's image being displayed on the pc monitor. Where the field of view (FOV) in the microscope is almost 30 mm, the FOV displayed onscreen is about 7 mm. After contacting companies various times I discovered there was a reducing lens that goes in the C-mount adaptor, but it is over $300.
I thought maybe that the FOV could be changed in in NI Measurement and Automation Exploer (NI-MAX). Any ideas?

Error 70025 in Measurement and Automation Explorer

After a clean reboot of the system I receive Error -70025 ("Return Buffer is not empty..") in the Measurement and Automation Explorer. When I click on "Clear RDB" which is supposed to solve the problem, it says "Error clearing the return data buffer". In the status tab, all LEDs are flashing (Error Code varying from 0xFFFF to 0x0182).
First, I simply tried to remove the motion controller (it's a NI PCI-7334) from the MAX tab which did not work. Then, I tried to repair the installation of all NI tools but this didn't help either.
I'm working with NI Motion 8.4 and MAX 5.4.0f0 on Windows XP.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Currently, I cannot run the motor at all.
Thanks,
Jürgen
edit: I just realize that the controlller is listed as PXI-7334 in the Windows Device Manager but in fact it is a PCI-7334. Would this explain the problem?
update: Forcing the installation of the PCI-334 driver does not make any difference.

Hi Jürgen,
you can find the description of occurence and solution for this error here.
Please try it.
When it dosen't solve your issue please contact me again.

Problems with Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX)

Hello LabVIEWers,
I have been having a serious problem getting MAX to start and to remain stable. Here are the specifics:I am running LabVIEW 8.5 Full Development System on a Dell PC with 1GB of RAM and plenty of hard drive space. The OS is XP Pro and I also have McAfee Enterprise Virus Scan software. MAX will start-up and appear to run for a few minutes and then the software bombs out. I get a "Measurement and Automation Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close" pop-up message. To fix the problem, I have uninstalled all NI software using MSI Blast. I have wiped the registry clean of NI keys as per instructions in previous posts. I have deleted any remaining NI software on teh hard drive including C:\program files\national instruments and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments. I have then restarted the machine and did a complete fresh install from CD's, DVD's, and the harddrive (CD's written to hardrive and DVD written to harddrive first). I installed first the LabVIEW and then I installed the Device Drivers. I restarted the machine between installs. I have even installed the updated NIDAQ 8.6. After which I set protections on the NI directories to read/write. Ok, basically I have done all these things numerous times and I still cannot get things to work correctly.
I was able to get into MAX for a little while (it is somewhat stable immediately after a fresh reinstall). I defined 4 Simulated DAQmx devices and none of them acted like they were simulated. I received various errors saying that the device was not found or could not be started. So I basically could not run my software with the simulated devices. LabVIEW sometimes seems to work ok but just now, I got a "Error loading nidmm_32.dll, initialization routine failed" error. I also get the same error for nilvaiu.dll. Both of these DLLs are in the C:\Program Files\IVI\Bin and c:\windows\system32 directories respectively and prior to the last time I started the software, all worked ok with LabVIEW.
Is my computer failing? Are there any other options to getting this installed without probems?
Please help.
Michael Froehlich

HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

Is it possible to change the resolution of indivdual channels in measurement and automation explorer using a VI

Hi
I'm acquiring data on 8 analog input channels using a PCI-6052 E card. The data on channels 5 thru 8 is going to be between +1V and -1V. So for greater resolution I'm manually changing the range of these channels to +1V to -1V in the measurement and automation explorer. Is there a way by which I can make these changes directly using a VI ?
Thanks,
Shiv

Hi
Yes you can, but only if you use the "AI Config" VI. AI config allows different gains for different channels. The "channels" and "input limits" inputs of the VI accepts arrays. The first element of the input limits array corresponds to the first element of the channel array. Check the "cont acq&chart (buffered).vi" in the LV examples. There you see what I mean!

Luca
