NI-FBUS Configurator 4.1.0.49152 + USB-8486: High delay between consecutive write actions

Hello,
imagine a case where you have a (transducer) block with at least around 12 parameters all of which have both read and write access:
PARAMETER_1
PARAMETER_2
PARAMETER_3
PARAMETER_12
PARAMETER_13
When editing two of these parameters which do not "reside in close neighborhood" (like PARAMETER_1 and PARAMETER_12) and then writing them down via "Write Changes" in the block view I observe, that there is a high delay between the write access for the first and second parameter (up to several seconds).
Since I am device developer I can see this during device debugging.
Can this delay be avoided?
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,
1. Try to uncheck the "Period Update" box in the upper left conner of the Block view. It's possible that this caused a conflict with your read/write action.
2. Which kind of device are you using that you are having this issue with? Have you try it on other devices? Just in case the extra long delay was caused by the device.

NI Fbus Configurator and Windows 7 Compatibility

Will NI FBUS Configurator 3.2.0 works with Windows 7? If not, is there an upgrade path? We are using a NI PCI FBUS card.
If an upgrade is required, is it software or hardware or both that is upgraded? What is the cost to upgrade?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Configurator 3.2.x does not support Windows 7. You can upgrade to Configurator 4.0.1. Only the software needs to upgraded.
The cost of the upgrading is much lower than purchasing a new license. Please contact your local NI sales representative for more information.

NI-FBUS Configurator supplied with a broken serial number-- $4K+ for a dead product.

Hello, we received our Fieldbus Host Starter Kit today (12/6/06). The order was placed on 8/8/06 under order #1642893.
We are trying to install NI-FBUS configurator/communications manager on a Windows XP laptop. After going through the installation process, I entered the
serial number that is on our certificate of ownership for the "NI-FBUS CONFIGURATOR FOR WINDOWS WITH HSE/HI LINKING DEVICE, HSE SUPPORT."
That number starts with X103... The program then gave the screen with the computer ID, the 15 digit "numeric serial number," the 10 digit
"numeric product code" and a 25 digit "numeric computer ID."
I phoned these numbers into 800-207-4012, and the "numeric product code" was rejected. I tried 4 times.
After speaking with NI tech support, they said that the format for the serial number on my certificate of ownership was for hardware-- not software.
They also said that there is no tech support for the NI-FBUS product line, and that after spending $4000+ on this system, we have to beg for help
on the discussion forum if we want assistance. For now, our $4K+ bought a system that is dead on arrival.

Hello,
We are really very sorry for this problem!
Please contact our local CSR (Customer Service Representative). They could help you activate your software but they will require the Serial Number as well. Please tell them that this is a very special case and ask them whether they could bypass the serial number. If they cannot do so, please ask them whether they could help you activate the "Configurator with HSE support" license with other tools.
Please be aware that the FF support team is China now. If you have any question regarding the NI-FBUS products, please mail to [email protected], we will be glad to help you.
Thanks a lot for helping us find this problem. Anyway, we're really very sorry for this inconvenience!
Hope it helps and please feel free to let me know if I could do more help for you!

HT5437 apple configurator didn't recognize my USB connected Apple TV.

apple configurator didn't recognize my USB connected Apple TV. should it be a problem if no display connected? cause the plugs space of apple TV for connection is only enough with either micro-USB or HDMI.

Apple Configurator 1.4.2 is said to support Configuration Profiles for the Apple TV using the "Apple TV assistant" located in the "window" option.
However, I do believe you need to be on Mountain Lion or higher to perform and receive an update to 1.4.2, but I could be wrong.

Support of Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 with NI-FBUS Configurator 3.2.3

I tried to monitor Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 from a FF H1 device with NI-FBUS Configurator 3.2.3 and the Alarm Monitor Utility.
Standard Block Alarms e.g. in case of a parameter change are monitored in the Alarm Monitor.
Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 are not monitored.
Are Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 supported by the NI-FBUS Configurator 3.2.3. or is something special to do to enable the monitoring.
If not, which tools or host systems are available to monitor such alarms ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alarm Monitor in NI-FBUS software does not Field Diagnostic Alarms. You can try using NI-FBUS C API nifWaitAlert2 to monitor such alarm. The detail description of the API can be found in NI-FBUS Hardware and Software User Manual Chapter 6.

NI USB-9481 Switching Delay

One of the channels on my USB-9481 relay has begun operating with a delay between when the switch command is sent from LabView (or Measurement & Automation Explorer) and when the actual switching occurs. The other 3 channels appear to be operating normally. What might cause such a delay and how can the problem be resolved?

Hello JamesF,
Can you quantify the delay? I suspect its a faulty electromechanical switch, I recommend contacting National Instruments to service your device.

How to configure for Internet access from USB EV-DO wireless broadband stick

I have WRT120N and I installed it in my office which has three computers (wired) that I've connected to the WRT120N. They all can communicate with one another. What I need to do is share the EV-DO connection (USB Stick) I have on of of these computers with the others and also with the devices that connect over the Wi-Fi.
Thank you!

Usb-6009 high-speed continuous acquisition for slow control loop application

Hi,
After watching a few Youtube videos, I successfully built a control loop in LabVIEW using my USB-6009. Currently, this loop is limited by the speed my actuator can take and respond to commands, topping out at 200 Hz. This is completely sufficient for my application. My question is more regarding the wasted potential of the USB-6009 to acquire samples at a much higher rate than what would be obtained if I used a simple single sample-on-demand during every iteration of the loop.
It seems to me that having the USB-6009 continuously acquire samples and having my control loop periodically check in for the latest data when it is ready to execute would have the advantage of allowing me to average groups of samples together to lower the overall noise associated with the measurement process (I am reading voltages from an amplified photodiode).
1) Does anyone know how I would instruct the USB-6009 to continuously acquire at say 10 kHz, so that on each loop I will have 50 or so samples that can be averaged together for a more accurate measurement of my control variable? Unfortunately, I'm new to this and not too familiar with DAQmx Timing.vi.
2) I've heard that reading into a buffer can increase latency for moving data into the computer. Given the low speed of my control loop, I don't foresee this as being a problem. Is this a correct assumption? I can probably live with an extra millisecond of latency.
3) I goofed around briefly with DAQmx Timing and managed to see a buffer overflow error. Certain rare events will by necessity cause my control loop to take much longer to execute, so I cannot guarantee that occasionally during normal operation I will not overflow the buffer. Can I suppress this error so that the dialog box does not pop up and the program continues to run uninterrupted? If the buffer overflows and old data gets overwritten it isn't a big deal for me since the control loop is only concerned with the latest data anyway.
Thanks for any info!

Howdy Patrick!

K8NGM2-FID problems: no usb and high cpu usage - HELP!

hi folks,
i've setup K8NGM2-FID inside an htpc with a clean install of mce 2005 (onboard video). For the past couple of days I've noticed a few things:
1) if the pc goes into standby (S3) and then wakes up, sometimes task manager shows a cpu usage of 50% (on the graph) but looking at the list of tasks (for all users) nothing is runing that high - in fact system idle process shows 98% (while the graph is still showing about 50%) and the system is a bit sluggish; reboot fixes this but it's getting really annoying. I've installed the latest AMD x2 driver. Sometimes it goes to 98-99% after waking up but that's been rare.
2) i've been getting a few BSODs lately, actually all started yesterday - 3 of them in a span of about 2 hours after insalling Nero. I'm going to try to figure out what is causing it that (proabably Nero - I hope since that's easy to undo) but what i've noticed is that when the system reboots after the blue screen, none of the USB devices work (i.e. keyboard, mouse, etc.). windows has to load, then I need to go in the back and unplug/replug the usb devices which then 'wakes' them up; this can get really annoying in a typical cramped home theater setup. software restarts seem to be good - ok hardware restarts are the problem. hooking things up to a usb hub has the same effect - i.e. I need to re-plug the hub to get them to work - it just means less things to plug/unplug.
has anyone else noticed this? help save my sanity - this is driving me crazy. since this is an mce setup, it goes into sleep and wakes up several times a day so the high cpu issue when it comes up really gets in the way of using the pc. btw. during high cpu times, no mce related function (record/watch/the shell itself) is running.
here's my setup:
K8NGM2-FID - boots up with 3 short beeps - I think it's 1 beep pause then 2 beeps
2 gigs kingston 3 CAS (2 x 1 GIG kit) pc3200 - boot screen shows it running at 400mhz in dual channel config
X2 3800+ stock fan/heatsink with silver 5 (runs around 35-38 idle - inside a silverstone 'stereo rack' case)
ms usb keyboard/mouse/mce remote
coolmax 550W power
3 140GB WD drives (ata 133 - not sata)
onboard video - framebuffer set to 128megs
latest (as of 2 days ago) nvidia and msi drivers - msi bios is the stock 3.0 (more on that later)
the bios settings are all default as far as I can tell.
pvr-150 tuner card
promise ata 100 card
nec 3500dvd
all running on mce 2005 with rollup 2 and all the updates windows could find
i haven't updated the bios because i've read about other folks having blue screen problems and the suggestion has been to up the voltage for the ram (I guess the default setup from MSI is lower than it should be) but apparently that option is missing from the 3.1 and later bioses? and reading the text file, it wasn't very apparent what the bios 3.1 was fixing other than a few cosmetic bootup texts. I'm planning to up the voltage later today.
anyhow, any suggestions short of throwing the entire pc out the door are welcomed.
thanks!

ok here's what I've found about the high cpu...
using process explorer, hardware interrups is taking all the cpu. i've tried to disable items one by one but nothing is working so far. what does work is if i choose scan for new hardware, cpu goes down to normal. standby and resume and cpu is up again. do the scan and it goes down again - without changing anything.
i've re-installed the graphic board driver, nvidia 430 drivers, sound driver. not sure what else to do. checked my drives and they are all properly master/slave set.
this is really getting crazy...anyone come across this?
i'm a bit hesitant to go to bios 3.1 since i've seen lots of posts about BSOD and i've just gotten rid of that.
thanks
thanks a bunch!

I can't format a usb, it says it has no write permissions.

When I open disk utilities the erase button is in grey and can't be clicked... I've tried using terminal and disk utilities, I also triede in a pc but it still says that the problem is I don't have write permission. How can I erase everything for good and reformat my usb? is there a program that can do that?
also when I hit verify disk it says it needs to be repaired but still doesn't enables the repari button.

Ok try the following. In the Terminal run this command:
sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk1
You will see a prompt that looks like the following:
fdisk: 1>
At this prompt, type "auto hfs" and press Enter, and you should see the prompt now look like the following:
fdisk:*1>
Now enter the command "write," and you should see it either say "Writing MBR at offset 0" or give you the following message:
Device could not be accessed exclusively.
A reboot will be needed for changes to take effect. OK? [n]
If this message appears, type "y" and press Enter, and you will then see the "Writing MBR at offset 0" message. Now enter the command "exit" to quit the fdisk utility, and then unmount your USB drive and reattach it to the computer. At this point you should see a message stating the drive is not readable, with options to initialize, eject, or ignore the issue. Choose Initialize, and you should be good to go.
If the drive is not automatically initialized, you should at least be able to use Disk Utility to now partition and erase it for other uses. If not, then the drive may be corrupt to the point where you cannot repartition it with the Mac. In this case, you can try with a Windows PC or another system, and see if that helps restore the drive, or replace the drive.
