Multiple Input and Output from a 6534

Hello
I am after some advice regarding my PCI 6543 digital I/O card and the best way to achieve my desired results. I am programming in Visual C++ with Ni-DAQ 7.
I want to generate a pattern output from one of the ports, Port A, following a software command. This pattern consists of a 10uS pulse on DIOA0, that repeats 200 times with a period of 100uS. I want this DIOA0 output line to initiate an input on ports C and D, possibly through the REQ pin. Consequently the input should acquire 200 times for each call to the pattern output.
I want this to repeat, so the pattern output goes again (as in a FOR loop), and the input occurs again for an as yet undetermined number of times.
I have managed to get something worki
ng for 1 iteration, and I can generate multiple pattern outputs, but the inputs only seem to acquire for the 1st iteration. However, if I step through the code in debug mode I can get the input to work correctly.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
I am still trying to get some earlier problems with this application solved.
Kind Regards
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
There are a couple different ways you can loop from a buffer. You can either use the onboard memory of the 6534 and loop from there or you can specify as a software configuration that the board loop through the PC memory buffer.
For the onboard looping you need to specify the following:
iStatus = Set_DAQ_Device_Info (1, ND_PATTERN_GENERATION_LOOP_ENABLE, ND_ON);
For software, PC memory looping, the following function specifies this:
iStatus = DIG_DB_Config (iDevice, iGroup, 1, 0, 1);
I attached a couple programs that might be of use. Check this post:

How do I create an xControl with multiple inputs and outputs?

Hello,
i am trying to write a new Xcontrol Element. In the data model I can create data types using the cluster to create compound types, eg an int and an int array. But how do I create an xcontrol which has multiple data inputs and outputs?
Kind Regards

Limping_Twerp wrote:
Alright: I see: An xcontrol is either an input OR an output. How do I achieve an output? Secondly: So you are saying the only Elements that can have multiple inputs and outputs are VIs?
Can you take a few steps back and explain what you are actually trying to do. SubVIs and Xcontrols have nothing in common and it is not clear why you even try to compare them side by side (e.g. in terms of the number of connectors).
Your questions about input or output tell us that you seems to have some misconceptions about xcontrols. Xcontrols are like regular controls, except they have some built-in intelligence that you can program. Most front panel object can be either controls or indicators and the same is true for Xcontrol. You create an Xcontrol, and after placing it on the front panel you can decide if it should be a control (where the code reads the value) or an indicator (were the code writes values to it). When you define the xcontrol facade, you also need to program how the visuals change if it is changed from control to indicator or vice versa.
As a first step, you should opend the example finder and look at some xcontrol examples.
Again, what are you actually trying to do?

Multiple inputs and outputs using DAQmx VIs

Hello,
I am fairly new with the LabView programming language. I have a few training books that I have been reading, and I have been following online tutorials and reading the forums. However, I have come to a problem where I don’t see a clear solution. I am using LabView 2009 (9.0f3) and DAQmx VIs.
I am using a NI 9172 chassis PLC, with two 9201 AI cards, 9217 AI RTD card, 9472 DO card, 9263 AO card, and two 9237 AI Bridge cards.
I am reading eight analog inputs with the 9201 cards, two analog RTD inputs with the 9217 card, three digital outputs with the 9472 card, three analog outputs with the 9263, and eight analog inputs with the 9237 cards.
I wrote a simple program to test one digital output task, two of the analog output tasks, and a single analog input task. I put all of them in the same while loop, and it worked perfectly. However, when I add analog input tasks to the same loop, I get an error 200022. So I tested each sensor individually by changing the channel before each run. I searched error 200022 and found that this is because I cannot start another analog input task until the previous one ends. With this said, I don’t know how to acquire an analog voltage in the same task as an analog RTD voltage. Both inputs take different constants in the start task DAQmx icon.
Attached is my test program. It is titled “Test All”. This is the program I used to test the various sensors. I tested the input sensors one at a time, and it worked fine. A few tasks are written just to test functionality, and will be added to later. The data is only displayed on the screen. I will add triggers and data write to disk functions later. This program works now, but if I add more analog inputs, it will generate the 200022 error.
Can someone show me how to correctly write the code for multiple inputs and outputs using DAQmx? All training materials and tutorials I can find all show a single input or single output, not multiples of each. Thanks for looking.

XiFi and Audigy Take Over Input and Output from Bluetooth Head

I am having trouble with my bluetooth headset when making phone calls in any VoIP application (Skype, Yahoo!). I usually use the headset as the input and output for my VoIP bits so I can move away from my desk, etc... First, it worked under XP with my Audigy no problem. I bought a XiFi and installed the latest drivers and it began stealing my audio. Oddly, it does not do it until the call connection is made (so I hear the ringing in the BT headset and once the call is answered the system reverts to the mic, a Logitech USB, and main speakers, directly plugged to the soundcard).
I decided to put my audigy back in, because I was planning on upgrading to Vista and thought the XiFi may be bad. I did a fresh Vista install with the Audigy and everything worked (i.e. audio for phone calls stayed in my BT headset). I then upgraded from the Microsoft drivers to Creative?s Vista drivers and the problem then happened with the Audigy as well.
This leads me to believe that some sort of regression happened in the latest drivers. Everything else works great, games, movies, etc? but this is a show stopper because I want to use my bluetooth headset. I tried to downgrade to the Microsoft drivers but the card would no longer work. I have tried a driver install only, then added the software, removed that and did a full install. This is with BETA drivers on Vista, but the problem existed in XP as well which were not BETA drivers AFAIK. I have updated to the latest Bluetooth drivers as well with no luck.
I have confirmed this on two of my PCs and a friend of mine is having the same problem (XP, XiFi) so he went and bought a Skype phone which works correctly.
Thanks in advance

How to synchronize analog input and output from two different USB daq boards

Hi all,
I have two very differnt USB boards the NI USB 6008, which I am using to acquire the data (Analog Input) and a NI USB 9263, it is an Analog Output only board that I am using to deliver a signal (in this case a square pulse). The reason why I am not using the 6008 Analog Ouputs is because I need to deliver negative voltages and need the full +/-10V range.
Looking at similar posts I am pretty sure that I can't use an external trigger or a shared clock, I also tried to use the synchronization of timed structures but no cigar.
I am including a quick vi that I whipped out showing how the signal jitters due to the lack of synchronization. The AO from the 9263 connects to the AI in the 6008 in this example.
Solved!

Simultaneous Digital Input and Output from NI 9403

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to digital output through one line in this module(NI 9403) while simultaneously reading from 10 other lines?
Basically what I need is for line0 to always be closed(true), and read lines1:10 - at very least 1sample/second.
I have attached a stripped down version of my code illustrating my error. I thought I was getting the error because the two tasks were using different clock configurations, but I tried using the same inputs and that doesn't work for me.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Digital I-O.vi ‏22 KB

Hi Matthew,
The behavior you're seeing is expected for the 9403 module, since it is a serial module. The DAQmx help has the following restrictions in the Digital I/O Considerations for C Series Devices section.
Timed digital input/output restrictions:
You cannot use parallel and serial modules together on the same hardware timed task.
You cannot use serial modules for triggering.
You cannot do both static and timed tasks at the same time on a single serial module.
You can only do hardware timing in one direction at a time on a serial bidirectional module.
So you can only do timed input or output at one time, but not both. However, based on the VI you attached and the description of what you want to do, you don't necessarily need both timed tasks in your loop. You can create a static output task to update that one line and after that, you can just start your timed input task on the rest of the lines. This should maintain the state on the DO line, since you're not acquiring from it.
Cheers,
Cristina

Patterned input and output from a single port w/ NI 6534 DIO

Is it possible to configure certain lines in a port to be read and others to be write? I am interested in doing patterned I/O with a single port, first output, then input. Not both at the same time. Is it possible to perform patterned output on one line and patterned input on a different line within the same port?
Thanks
-Scott

Hi Scott,
I understand that you'd like to do digital I/O on a PCI-6534. All of the scenarios you outlined in your question should be possible with this board.
1. You can configure some lines of a port to output signals while others input signals by using a line direction map.
2. You can do patterned I/O on the same port at the same time.
I'm not sure what software you're using to interface with the 6534, but if you happen to be using LabVIEW, then there is a shipping example which demonstrates the basics of patterned I/O on a single port of a DIO board. The example is called Digital Multi-line Direction (E).vi and can be found in Help >> Find Examples. If you are using another programming language, then there may be examples on ni.com.
Hope this helps

Let's start with the digital output
What is this code all about?
Do you want only one of the 8 led's to lit randomly or are multiple led's also ok?
The two possible codes are in attached file SNAG-003.jpg
Connect the output of the "Scale by power of 2" function or the "Multiply" output directly to the Write DAQmx vi
I don't understand the purpose of the "Boolean Value" and "Replace subset array" thing, so I skipped it

Input and output from child process

Hi all,
I am developing an IDE for the Haskell functional programming language. The application runs the Haskell interpreter as child process, and sends and receives input from the interpreter. At the moment I'm programming the integrated console through which the IDE should communicate with the interpreter. The problem is that when I send a command to the interpreter to execute the code I can't detect when the code is running and when it waits for input, so I'll be able to dissable and enable input in the the console respectivly. Please answer as soon as possible, and if my explanation of the problem is not clear enough please just comment about it. Thank you in advance.

Generally the way I have seen that sort of things designed is like this: You have a script in mind. For example:
1. Send command "ABC DEF" to the interpreter.
2. Wait until it responds with "OK" or "Failed".
3. If it responded with "Failed" then quit.
4. Send command "XYZ XYZ" to the interpreter.
5. ... and so on
You can do this in simple or complicated ways, of course. But if you can't do it, then you're going to find it difficult to do anything at all. For example you won't know when the interpreter is waiting for input (that seems to be your problem already).

CFP-DIO-550 open multiple input and output at the same time

I am trying to read and write at different times with the cFP-DIO-550. I cant figure out how to read all the inputs at the same time.
In the Create Tag.vi, I cant figure what to wire to the Item Name input. I have tried Input 0, and that works, but it is only one input, I need to read all 8. I have also tried Input All, All, Input 0:8. input 0-8, input 0: Input 8, Input 0 - Input 8, and I always get an error.
I cant find anything on it in the manual.
Thanks,
Kenny

Normally I would select 'All' using a FP IO point function instead of create tag ( LV 7.0 and up ). I have noticed that the 'All' is only available if the module is all inputs or all outputs. It may be that since your module is an IO, 'All' is not available by default.
I think you need to create an item in MAX in the Data Neighborhood under the DIO-550 Module and configure it to use all the IO on the module.

Planning Folders with multiple input and output layouts

Hi,
I have a planning folder with one input layout and 4 output layouts. The input layout has a GPS assigned to it which will be executed before layout change. Will this function get executed when I open any of the output layouts(out of 4) not necessarily the immediate output layout (next to the input layout) and will the calculated data be displayed accordingly. Can some one please confirm me on how that works.
Scenario2: I have one input layout and 2 output layouts. The input layout has a GPS assigned which will be executed before layout change and the first output layout has another GPS assigned which is basically a push button. Then how does this work.
Points will be assigned . Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vamsi

GPS will not be executed when you open any of the output layouts but will be executed only when you open the input layout. Yes, the calculated data gets stored in planning buffer so it will the displayed in input/output layouts accordingly.
Scenario2: The GPS assigned to input layout will be executed when you open the input layout. GPS which is assigned to output layout in the form of a button will be only executed when user will click on that button. Calculated results will be available in all the layouts as the result remains in planning buffer until user explicitly click the 'SAVE' icon in applpication toolbar.

FINALLY INPUTTING and OUTPUTTING Annotations!

Ok, before everyone thinks that this is a very bad solution, I have to tell that I`m no programmer and my knowledge of PostgreSQL, Ruby or any other language is very poor.
With useful help from Jamie Hodge, fbm and Nicholas Stokes (mainly)
I could manage to write a command for inputting and outputting from Final Cut Server Annotations.
So lets go to the fun part:
INPUTTING:
1- Create a Response called "Annotations IN" (or whatever you want):
a - Reponse Action: "Run an external script or command"
b - Run Script > *Commnad Path: /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Server/Final Cut Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run
Command Parameters: psql px pxdb -c "COPY pxtcmdvalue FROM '/FCSRV/annotation-in.txt' USING DELIMITERS '|';"
2 - Create a poll Watcher with name: "Watch for Annotations IN"
a - Enable: true
b - Monitor Address: Chooses a Device (create a new one or use a tmp one) and path to where you`ll going to put a txt file with the annotations.
c - Response List: Choose the Response you created "Annotations IN" in my case.
d - Event Type Filter: Created, Modified
e - Poll Watcher > Listing Frequency: 2 (or any number of seconds you feel like it).
Listing multiple: 2
Wildcard include Filter: *.txt (or any custom extensions you want)
3 - Create a txt file and use this as a template:
{ASSET_ENTITYID}|1527|{TCIN}/(30000,1001)|{TCOUT}/(30000,1001)|{Annotation}|{USE RID}|{DATE}
Where:
{ASSET_ENTITYID} = Is the entityid of your asset. You can find what number it is by issuing:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.entityid, pxmdvalue.value AS asset_name FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxentity ON pxentity.entityid = pxmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.fieldid='1543' AND pxentity.address LIKE '/asset/%';"
This will output ALL your assets, so if you know the name or want to parse the name you can use:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.entityid, pxmdvalue.value AS asset_name FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxentity ON pxentity.entityid = pxmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.fieldid='1543' AND pxmdvalue.value='ASSETNAME' AND pxentity.address LIKE '/asset/%';"
Where in ASSETNAME you`ll have to put your Asset Name without extension.
{TCIN} and {TCOUT} is, of course, the TC`s points. In the form of: HH:MM:SS;FF
{Annotation} is the commentary.
{USERID} (in my case was 1)
{DATE}: This one is tricky. My example is 2009-03-15 19:31:15.839795-03
So is in the form YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.????? I really don`t know the rest. Could be milliseconds?
Of course one can write a script to translate everything from a txt file like:
ASSETNAME | TCIN | TCOUT | ANNOTATIONS | USER
But as I`ve said I`m no programmer
Ok.. now the time for the OUTPUT:
The command-line is:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.value AS Asset_NAME, pxtcmdvalue.value, pxtcmdvalue.begintc, pxtcmdvalue.endtc FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxtcmdvalue ON pxmdvalue.entityid = pxtcmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.value='ASSETNAME';"
Where ASSETNAME is the Asset name without the extension.
Or issuing the following to OUTPUT ANNOTATIONS from ALL assets:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "select * from pxtcmdvalue;"
Adding "> /PATHTO_WHERE_IN_WANT/ANNOTATIONSOUTPUT.TXT" at the end will put all output into a txt file.
It`s possible (in theory) to:
1- Create a boolean md field in FCSRV called "EXPORT Annotations" (don`t choose lookup)
2- add or create a md group called "Export Annotations" and add the above md field to it (don`t choose lookup)
3- Add "Export Annotations" md field to Asset Filter md group
4- Make a Response for Running external command. Command path: /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Server/Final Cut Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run
Command Parameters: psql px pxdb -c 'SELECT pxmdvalue.value AS Asset_NAME, pxtcmdvalue.value, pxtcmdvalue.begintc, pxtcmdvalue.endtc FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxtcmdvalue ON pxmdvalue.entityid = pxtcmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.value=[FileName];' > ~/Desktop/ann-out.txt
(I`m having problem with this, it doesn`t work).
5- Make a Subscription that if Export Annotations modified = true, trigger if changed and trigger the Response above.
6- Add exporting annotations md group to Media md set.
In theory it`s possible to modify the FinalCutServerIntegrationSample get and input annotations instead of adding another "comment" field to md group list.
Few!
Ok so please help beautify this out!
This will be very useful for a lot of people.... We know that it`s only a matter of time to FCSVR have this function built-in... but this "time" could be years.
So let`s start ourselves!
Thank you very much!!
Regards!
