MXI not visible in MAX

I have installed the MXI Express x1 kit in my PXI 1050. The computer doesn't boot. I disconnect the cable from the PXI rack and the PC boots. Looking through the forum I find a common thread about the MXI killing the PC boot. But I am not finding the BOOT-FIX, or the BOOT-Work-Around mentioned in the posts. The biggest curiosity is why the PCI card doesn't show up in the NI-Max inventory. Some of the dialog talks about "bus-mastering" another curiosity. Is this bus-mastering "Slot Specific" on the PC mother board? I remember back in the "old" PC days some options were not available except in the "first" slot. I inventoried the mother board and am posting the stats. I submitted a direct question to the engineering staff at NI. And with no answer in the first 24 hours, I am scouring the forum for any hint of a solution. We have burned up - fried - beat to death. 5 controllers in the last year. the bone yard is empty. How do I make this work? and thank you for your help...

I am having trouble with my devices working in my executable code.  The code was provided by our test development department back in 2004. The errors are popup windows telling me the card didn't initialize. These cards are being called using DAQmx. I have nothing in my NI-MAX showing up as DAQmx. What is happening ?

NI PCI 5102 not visible in MAX

Hi all
I've got a problem on a testrig. I use a PCI 5102 high speed digitizer to acquire a signal. Since this morning, the acquisition and processing of this signal has slowed down and now it takes twice as long as before.
What could be the cause of this problem?
During searching for a solution on the system, I found that the device is not visible in MAX. Two weeks ago, I updated the testrig to LV8.0, which means that I made a single installer - more information to this can be found in this thread:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=164285&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
As said, I installed this approximately two weeks ago and it ran without any problems until this morning. So I wanted to test the card in MAX so that I maybe find something, but firstly it took a relative long time to open the Items and Interfaces node and secondly there was no item in. No PCI 5102, no Fieldpoint modules, no serial ports - although I use these devices in this app.
Is this maybe related to my original problem of the massively slowed down acquisition?
Any fast answer that helps to solve the problem is really highly appreciated, as this testrig is part of a production line.
Thomas
Using LV8.0
Don't be afraid to rate a good answer...

Thomas,
I'm not sure why your 5102 measurements are slowing down, but I do have
a likely solution to your issues with MAX. Hopefully fixing MAX
will remedy both problems.
1) Browse to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX. There is
a folder named "Data" that has the configuration info for MAX.
2) Delete the "Data" folder after making a copy on your desktop (it is
rare, but in some cases it may be useful to recover old
configurations). If Windows won't let you delete the folder, try
ending the nimxs.exe process from task manager. If you have any
tasks or scales saved in MAX, they will be deleted in this step.
3) Reboot your computer and open up MAX. This will force a
refresh of all configuration information for your system, and will most
likely clear up your problems with MAX.
Please let me know if this works for you, and if this fixes the issue
with your digitizer as well. If this doesn't help, there are
other debugging steps that we can try.
Thanks,
Travis W

Goepel PXI-3220 not visible in MAX

I have installed 2 goepel pxi-3220 cards into a NI PXI-chassis. But there arent visible in MAX. The drivers in the windows device manager are present and working fine. I would like to have these two cards visible in MAX. Does anyone have any experience with these analogue output cards?

Hello,
Only devices that were produced using the VISA driver development Wizard are viewable in MAX. If the 3rd party manufacturer did not use our driver wizard, then the device will not show up in MAX. If that is the case, the card must come with a programming API and also some sort of configuration program. It sounds as though the drivers and are installed correctly since you see them in the device manager.

USB/directshow camera not visible in max/imaqdx

I've got a Chameleon USB2.0 camera from Point Grey and I'm having problems getting it to show up in MAX.
I'm running a fresh installation of labview 2012, MAX 5.3.3f2, IMAQdx 4.0, IMAQ 4.7 on a windows 7 x64 lenovo T420 laptop.
I'm aware of the problems with registering the DirectShow filters for the Point Grey cameras: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7DF278AF77461951862579AD0063B9AD
I've tried all of the various driver versions from Point Grey, and currently have installed the v2.4 x86 version
The camera is visible using AMcap, a lightweight DirectShow viewer, so it seems that the camera is operational and the DirectShow interface is functional.
I had an older version of Labview installed, and the camera was visible in MAX. I wanted to upgrade versions but didn't use the NI update service and just downloaded the various files from the website. About the time I upgraded MAX to 5.3 the camera disappeared from MAX. I assumed some problem with the upgrade, so I completely uninstalled both Labview and the camera drivers and tried a fresh installation, but I still can't see the camera in MAX.
Any ideas about how to get my camera to show up in MAX?
Thanks!

Did you find anything? I have two Mightex USB cameras hooked up and believe that I might be having the same problem.
I can actually get both devices to show up in AMCAP, but the 2nd camera that I have hooked up to the computer doesn't show up in NI-MAX.
I have spoken with the camera manufacturer and they have verified that these DirectShow drivers have worked on old versions of LabVIEW. Please get back to me if you know anything regarding this error.

IEEE 1394 Camera Not Visible in MAX

Problem Description :
I'm using the following hardware:
1. Texas Instrument OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Card ( Ratoc PCIFU2)
2. Basler 601f Camera ( NI certified)
(DCAM v.1.20 compliant)
Sofware :
1. LabView 7.0
2. Max 3.0
3. NI IMAQ for IEEE -1394 Ver 1.5
4. Vision Development MOdule 7.0
I am able to use the camera via Vision Assitant (7.0), but unable to see
the
camera listed in MAX. I have tried all the steps listed in FAQs.The driver
for
the camera is 1394imaq (i.e. all this has been checked).
I can run the 1394-Imaq vis & acquire images as well, but like i said no
camera listed in max ....

Hello,
It looks like the MAX provider for NI-IMAQ 1394 may have been corrupted. This can usually be fixed by running a repair on the installer. You can do this by running the installer from Add/Remove Programs.
Hope this helps!

Properties not Visible in MAX

I'm working on a PC that isn't connected to the Internet so it may be an old version of MAX.
I have a NI-2627 switch that I need to change the topology of from 32x2 to 64x1. When I open MAX and right-click on the card, the only options I get are: Save, Rename Alias, Delete (greyed out), and Open VISA Test Panel.
Version is 4.6.2f1
How do I change the topology of the switch if I can't get to it in MAX? Thanks.

Hello Erin,
Welcome to the NI Discussion Forums! Like you said, there should be an option called “Configure” in MAX when you right click on the card.
However, please remember than you can configure it programmatically with the “niSwitch Initialize with Topology.vi”
I Hope this helps.

PXI - DAQmx tasks will not export to MAX 5.4

I am in the process of upgrading a PXI 1050 with an 8176 to an MXI bridge. The latest headache is that the CVI program had several DAQmx (tasks) defined in MAX 3.1.1 which will not export to MAX 5.4. I have been posting these additional questions on my original thread MXI not visible in MAX. I have many tasks for installed PXI cards. I was trying to make simple tasks just defining these cards to change the errors I receive in CVI. I do not have the option to define a task for some of these cards like the 4070 DMM. I did not generate the original CVI code. I am not sure what is defined the DAQmx. Can someone provide some insight ? I have viewed the suggested videos and white paper links. They were instructive but of little help.

Unfortunately; no updates without dollars. While we all work for the same company, we must contract work between departments. There was no defect with the software as delivered. Old age crept in to the hardware. Any upgraded hardware, it turns out, requires updating of the software. The unit had operated reasonably well, until a couple years ago. An unfortunate selection of network security software caused massive headaches. The software chosen assumed a more advanced level of hardware. Mandatory installation on all network computers rendered these controller inoperable. Our local IT guys shaved down the install to minimal components but the controller lost all available ram to this software, NI-MAX requires 20 minutes to build it's database on reboot. The computer controllers struggle to function. They periodically get lost and require a reboot, causing 30 minutes or more to restart. This is driving a replacement. We decided that it would be more cost effective to move to a standard computer interface. With the MXI, we could have a much more friendly and versatile interface. The upgrade is with a different "color" of corporate money. There isn't enough funding to contract a software upgrade. It is feasible to complete the upgrade in house, once we can identify the players and their function. Second we need the necessary time and access to the equipment. I do not have the ability to expend too many extra hours at work. So it takes time. I have been able to piece together the following. In the development stage back in 2004 - 2005, the developers used both Traditional DAQ and DAQmx. They build tasks for the SCXI in CVI. They have toolboxes making calls to Traditional DAQ. Also at some point in time they must have used the option in 3.1.1 to Convert Traditional NI-DAQ(Legacy)Configuration to NI-DAQmx, which built all the extra DAQmx devices we see in the device tree in the MAX 3.1.1. So beyound the errors there appears to be a few red herrings, just for fun. So there is no tasks to convert from 3.1.1, everything is contained in the CVI code. I have to find a way to use the CVI debugger to lead me to the nested, buried code causing the errors, and simply correct them. Just for another layer of complexity, they are probably logic errors, not syntax errors, or updated code errors where the legacy code no longer functions with the updated drivers. Or, hey, it could be the beta version of NI-DAQ, because it is the only one working with Windows 7 (32).

No GPIB connection, but visible in MAX

The device is visible in MAX, but I am unable to communicate with it, either by using the 'Communicate with Instrument' or the 'VISA Test Panel'.
This seems slightly sporadic, as I have once or twice been able to connect and send a successful ID query (It's too old for *IDN? ...). However, even if I reach this point I either then get error 0: not able to connect to device/driver or error 6: timeout within Labview, and then I am unable to do anything in MAX after that point.
I have tried disabling timeout, switching cables, turning everything off and on again all to no avail.
This is very frustrating as with my standard setup I have not changed any VI's, settings, cables or anything since it was working fine earlier.
Cheers for any input.

Sure, I'll see what I can find and if it helps at all.
Interestingly, today the 5210 connected fine and I was able to test some new code and everything worked perfectly...

Xcelsius - Embedded 'Jpg' logo not visible, Pie chart Legends not visible

Hi,
   I am new to xcelsius. could you please help.
   I have two issues.
1. I incorporated Logo (JPG FILE) and selected options Embed file, resize image to component, but image is not visible when I preview. Why? What needs to be done to make logo visible in preview(swf file). I did not export yet to Infoview though.
2. Legend values are cropped. I have 35 legends that are to be listed for pie chart. I can see only 31 and remaining four not visible (two from beginning, 2 at the end). I reduced font to lowest visible value i.e. 8 and increased height max possible that looks good . How to make them visible? or make them to fit to chart. Is there any option? Legend values are towards right of chart.
Please help.
BR, Nanda Kishore

Hi,
   Are you using Image Component to insert your JPEG, if not try that. It will work as expected.
   As for your pie chart legends, it will work as long as your Pie Chart is large enough to fit all regions onto the screen.
   Try a simple test just to prove that concept.
      - Create 2 columns in Excel
      - Make Column A your Region Column. Insert up to 35 records
      - Make Column B you Data column. Also insert up to 35 records.
      - Now map your data into the Pie Chart and make sure you reduce the fonts of the region to "8" (Smallest it can go)
      - Preview it.

Visa server security tab not visible

I want to enable the visa server for remote visa connections to the serial port, when I go into MAX to setup the visa server security the tab is not visible. I have a 2nd system and I can see the tab. Is some setting needed to enable the security?

Hello Chris,
I would expect that this is because of a version difference in your two machines. What OS are they? What version of VISA are they using? You can see the VISA version in MAX under the software folder. Also, to clarify, are you speaking about the "VISA Options" tab that appears when you select NI-VISA from the software folder, or something else?
If you need to download a newer version of VISA, see here for all VISA versions:

PXI 8252 not seen in MAX

I have PXI 8252 1394 Host Adapter in my PXI 1000B chassis. PXI is controlled using MXI-3 fiber optical communication.
NI PXI 8252 is not seen in MAX.
I want to program the 8252 using LabVIEW but it is not seen in MAX.
Thanking You

Are you able to see the PXI chassis in MAX?
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

Hard drive not visible after restart

I have a question which has nothing to do with Arch but is rather na hardware question. I have a laptop with two hard drives, one of which is SSD. Suddenly the SSD drive is not visible (even in BIOS) after the OS restart. When I shutdown the laptop the drive is visible and I can boot into Arch but if I restart the laptop (either from Windows or Arch) it's not visible.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I have the latest version of BIOS...
Thanks in advance.

It must be some bad combination of bugs in the SSD and motherboard firmwares.
What happens if you swap the drives between bays?
What happens when you reboot and then boot Linux from the second disk or some pendrive? Does the kernel detect this SSD? Look for this in dmesg:

External hard drive not visible in disk utility or finder

Hi all,
I have had a good look through previous discussions and I can't seem to find an issue relevant to mine.
My external hard drive has 2 partitions (1 time machine back up, 1 general hard drive). The issue is that the HD is running when it is plugged in however it is not visible in either disk utility or finder.
I am running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) on a 2010 MacBook Pro. I also have parallels desktop running windows 7. When I boot windows and plug in the HD I usually get the option to mount the HD to either OS X or Windows. With this issue the option window appears for a split second (not enough time to select either) and then disappears. It seems that the HD may be ejecting itself as soon as it is registered by the computer. I have tried using a different power cable for the HD and also a different usb cable, this doesn't help.
The external HD is a Samsung D3 Station, which i have had for 6 months now and never had an issue with.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Bruce

An update for anyone who can help me:
I have tried the external hard drive in other computers (mac and windows), each time I get the same problem above.
I have removed the HD from the enclosure and purchased a docking station for it (3.5" SATA). When I plug it in to the laptop it disconnects itself straight away before it is visible. With the windows computers it installs the drivers and says that the device is ready to use, then disconnects before it shows up.
As the HD is not visible there is no option to re-format or anything.
This is very frustrating as I was using the HD with no issues and it randomly disconnected and I have not been able to access since.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1 - which is what introduced the bugs.

The only thing that I can think of that might be causing the issues that I have a Mac Mini on Mavericks.

Hi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1
