NI-5133 won't acknowledge PFI as channel to trigger from

Hello,
trying to use an NI-5133 Scope to read two channels, triggering off an external signal. Labview 2011, Scope 3.9.4
I figured based on documentation that it would be no reading a trigger in on the PFI line (labelled PFI1 on the hardware, I still don't understand why it wouldn't be PFI0). Anyway, I tried using the niScope Configure Trigger block, and it will only let my choose between channel 0 and channnel 1 returning an error if I try to tell it to use the scope. I tried an alternative approach I found after perusing forums and that didn't work either, also returning an error:
niScope Initiate Acquisition.vi:1<ERR>Source terminal to be routed could not be found on the device.
Make sure the terminal name is valid for the specified device. Refer to Measurement & Automation Explorer for valid terminal names.
Source Device: NI_Scope
Source Terminal: PFI0
Destination Device: NI_Scope
Destination Terminal: StartTrigger
Status Code: -89120
Any advice on how I can get this to work triggering off the PFI line would be much-appreciated.
I've attached my VI, I know it is probably pretty poorly constructed but I am very new to Labview.
Thanks,
Wolley

Hello Wolley,
What I would suggest is that you try running the NI SCOPE Soft Front Panel. This will allow you to verify the functionality of the hardware without adding the software variable. It can be found under Start>All Programs>National Instruments>NI-SCOPE.
You can configure it to run with a trigger off of PFI1 and give it a try. You should be able to acquire from both CH0 and CH1.
Hope this helps.

  • HT4407 Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?

    Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?
    My first thoughts were that 'bootcamp' was out of date...needed an upgrade to register windows 7. Since then I am once again met with the same problem... how can it not see the I have already have a paritioned drived ready to be used for installition, is there a way to fix this problem? I don't really want to pay out for 'i-parition' only to merge my 2 drives back into one and start again from scratch =/. Seems silly to do so...what are my options?
    Regards Swishi...p.s If anyone can help me...it'll make my day :3.

    ONE PARTITION.
    You don't need to buy anything but you should have backups.
    you can delete #2 you created. Then resize to full drive.
    There are already
    GPT
    EFI
    Mac
    Recovery
    and there needs to be Windows which cannot be higher ID
    Reading the instructions first and just swallow whatever pride or inidignation. It is a "my way or highwar" setup and utility,.

  • Went on my vacation, brought my macbookpro, got home, mac pro won't acknowledge photos.  Why?

    Wife uses the macbookpro mostly with her iphone.  However, they are my photos on my phone, and all computers are mine, so why in any case because I have synced with another computer with also uses another iphone, that my personal mac pro won't acknowledge the photos that originated from my phone.  Photos shouldn't be subject to copyright like music purchases.  If I decide to share my photos with another mac (which also happens to be my macbookpro that my wife uses), there shouldn't be anything applied to the photos I've taken with my personal iphone once it is plugged into my other mac.  They're my photos regardless and originated from my iphone, so my mac pro should never block these photos from me in iphoto.
    Summary:
    I go on vacation with my macbookpro.
    I take photos with my iphone.  I put them in my macbookpro while on vacation.
    I get home.  I try to put the photos on my macpro.  Not only am I not allowed, I can't even see the photos in iphone via my plugged in iphone.  They are hidden when plugged into my macpro.
    Why don't I have access to MY OWN PHOTOS when I have spent well over 50,000 dollars in Apple products? 
    To fix this I had to export the photos from the macbookpro to a USB and manually add them to my mac pro.  Alternatively I could plug in my iphone to my windows computer and access all the files via a folder search.

    Another way to look at this which imo also applies.
    I go on vacation with friend.  I take photos with my iphone.  I sync some of the photos to his iphoto on his macbook.  I get home.
    I can no longer see those photos, which I took, using my own iphoto sync on my mac.  They don't show up anywhere with preview or image capture (remembered name).  Just because I gave my friend some of my photos, doesn't mean a lock should be applied that doesn't allow me to sync those photos via iphoto on my own mac.  Doesn't this make sense?  Why is this happening?

  • I turned my Ipad off and when I tried to turn it back on, only the apple displays and it will not go past that.  What can I do to get it to come back on?  It won't acknowledge it when I plug it in either.

  • My Mac Mini won't acknowledge Snow Leopard disk to upgrade OS. DVD drive works fine.

    Purchased my Mini January 2009 with 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor w/ 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Trying a long-overdue upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard, the computer won't acknowledge the disk, and the DVD drive runs other disks.
    According to other links here, I should be able to upgrade through OS 10.7 without problem, correct? (FYI, I have four USB ports on this thing.) Also, I noticed my Snow Leopard disk - purchased from Apple, not bootleg - is 10.6.3, which is what they shipped when I said OS 10.5.8 is in here. Am I missing an earlier version than 10.6.3? In any case, the disk just grinds awhile, then spits out. Nothing ever shows on the display.
    I have 59 gigs of internal hard drive space available.
    I'm not really tech savvy, so any thoughts?

    Thanks for your response, and good call! I discovered the Mini will acknowledge other DVDs that I know have content, but displays them as blank; otherwise, it won't open/run anything. It's more than I knew before.
    Looks like I'm heading to the Apple shop.

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

    My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

    In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

  • Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

    dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

    Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it.  It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world.  In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully.  So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire.  If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time.  Must be a better way. 
    Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out.  I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing! 

  • Outputting 5.1 Channel Surround Sound from your Mac

    How to output 5.1 Channel Surround Sound from you Mac...

    I have been using my MacBook Pro via HDMI into my pioneer av amp which is set up for 5.1.
    I have been able to output 5.1 audio with Logic Pro and FCPX no issues at all after you setup the audio midi utility for 5.1. This setup is via PCM 5.1 audio not to be confused with Dolby 5.1.
    It works great. If you want to play your edited exported movies from Final Cut Pro x in surround then it gets a bit tricky. I export the movie with FCPX as master video with the 5.1 audio then use HandBreak set to atv3 to encode / compress the video. This is great because handbreak folds the 5.1 into a stereo AAC track and also encodes the 5.1 mix into Dolby 5.1 AC3 track so both stereo and surround tracks are embedded in the movie file. So if you have an Apple TV it will play the movie with its surround track. If you play the same HandBreak compressed movie out of your Mac via hdmi to your surround amp it will only play the stereo track if you are using iTunes or QuickTime  and I believe this is because of copy protect and Dolby license issues. iTunes will play a purchased movie from the itunes store in surround via your Macs hdmi to receiver setup but will only play the stereo track of the movie you exported from HandBreak even though it is set up just like an iTunes movie. To get your HandBreak movie to play in Dolby surround from your Mac all you need is VLC player, then you have to go in and select the Dolby track and the output in VLCs audio settings and bingo your HandBreaked movie then plays out of your Mac in Dolby surround. Once you set your Mac up for 5.1 mixing your amp will show your outputting 5.1 via the mac but again this is PCM audio 5.1 and apps like FCPX, Soundtrack Pro, Logic Pro will work.

Then test it out, if you still have the same problem please restart, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option Key and then choose the Recovery Partition. Then open Disk Utilities and Repair Disk Permissions 2x. Then exit DU, restart normally and re-test.

  • Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto.

    Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto. This also does not work on my garageband for itunes music. I have tried backing my itunes media and rebuilding but it has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro

    Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro
    I'm outputting a Mac projector file that will work on my mac computer. However, when I upload it to FTP and download it my mac or another mac, it won't work! What's going on? I've tried adding ".app" to my file and it still won't work. Help!
    Here's my set up: Flash 8 Pro on Mac Intel with Mac OS 10.4.11

    Hi,
    Does it work if you .zip up the projector and FTP the .zip and then unzip the projector on the other Mac's?  A projector is basically an application.  Applications in Mac's have package contents and resource bundles.  When copying files over the network on Mac's, symbolic links inside the package contents and bundles can get messed up.
    Thanks,
