NI-VISA as default driver for USB device with another manufacturer's driver?

Hi Labview Developers or AE,
I have read the tutorial, "USB Control Tutorial Device" at link.
I read a paragraph "If you do not know the USB vendor ID and product ID, to get them, plug
the device into the computer and allow the computer to recognize the
new device. Cancel out of the Found New Hardware Wizard if it starts.
Open the Device Manager from the Control Panel and find your device on
the list, usually under "Other Devices". It may show a yellow
exclamation mark indicating it is an unknown device. Double click the
device to open the properties. Select the Details tab and ensure that
"Device Instance Id" shows in the attribute dropdown box. A string of
characters will be displayed similar to Figure 3. The four characters
to the right of "VID_" and "PID_" are your vendor ID and product ID,
respectively. Write down the characters for your device, close the
Device Manager, and unplug the device from the computer. Alternatively,
you can contact your device vendor to obtain this information."
I am wondering if it is okay to install two drivers together and do labview with two of them simultaneously. I am using Advantech USB-4716. I installed Advantech driver so that I can use Advantech-labview functions to control and measure. unfortunately, , there's no advantech function like reset.vi  in case of problem reading. So I wondering if it is okay to use NI-VISA driver by wizard as mentioned above and advantech-Labview functions together. I have not figured out  how to reset Advantech USB-4716.
Pls  advise. Thanks
Clement

Hi Nicholas,
I found the drivers in those links.
First of all the customer must install our Device manager ( DAQ Tool ) and Driver
http://support.advantech.com.tw/support/DownloadSRDetail.aspx?SR_ID=1-246K8V
That's he needs to do always before using our devices.
For LabVIEW he also needs to install in addition the LabVIEW driver
http://support.advantech.com.tw/support/DownloadSRDetail.aspx?SR_ID=1-29WTFD
It is the LabVIEW or LabVIEW DAQ , it depends on customer LabVIEW software that he is using
After installation he will get in LabVIEW ready made VI ( examples ) to use from Advantech and also the Manual

  • Need Chipset Driver for USB support

    Hi.
    This Windows XP-SP3 PC has 4xUSB2 or 2xUSB3 on-board ports, and all have failed. All USB devices are yellow-flagged in device manager.
    I have run SFC \SCANNOW and it runs to completion, and I have tried right-clicking on a yellow-flagged USB entry in Device Manager and selecting Update Driver, but that only results in the following dialog:
    Cannot Install This Hardware
    There was a problem installing this hardware:
    Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
    An error occurred during the installation of the device:
    The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry. This may be because the INF file was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor stop
    It has been suggested to me that I should try to obtain the Chipset Driver for USB support. Running Speccy reveals the following about the mainboard:

  • Windows 7 x64 only installs the drivers for USB devices that are plugged in upon system startup

    Hi all,
    I have a most unusual problem. On my personal desktop, I can only use USB devices that are plugged in upon system startup. If I unplug a USB device and then plug it in again, the driver will not install correctly. I cannot force the device to start and I
    can't pick a driver manually. All I get is this. If I plug in a USB device and then reboot, the driver gets installed correctly and I can use it until I unplug it again. I'm pretty sure it's a Windows issue
    but I can list the hardware I have if it is needed.
    I have tried:
    Running an SFC /SCANNOW as administrator
    Uninstalling all USB controllers via device manager and letting them reinstall
    Neither worked to resolve the issue. If this was a client's computer I would probably just reinstall Windows but because this is my main work PC it'd be a huge hassle to do it, so I'd really appreciate any other ideas anyone has. If I have to reinstall I
    will. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Since the issue just happened for 4 monthes, I consider that some changes or updates may cause the issue.
    Please also try to restore the system back to the point before this issue.
    You can also try these steps:
    1.Power down your laptop or desktop
    2.Physically unplug the computer.  If it’s a laptop, remove the battery too.
    3.Leave it disconnected for three minutes
    4.Replug the desktop or reinsert the battery
    5.Power on the system
    For the reasons, you can refer to this article:

    Hello there K_McCreedy,
    I saw your post about the scanning issues you have been having with your PS B110a and Mavericks. I have looked into this for you and I would like to offer some suggestions.
    First of all, there is no downloadable full feature driver and software (scanning software included) for this model of printer and Mavericks. There are some work around options however, that I will link you to below!
    Please follow these steps:

    2. Repair disk permissions
    3. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
    (See under link #3 for the different methods of scanning options with Mavericks under the FAQ's section)
    I hope I helped answer your question!

    Hi:
    You may need to reinstall the graphics driver, but I think it is the same one you have now.  It is from 2012 and so all they did was say it was good for W8.1 too.

    If that doesn't work, then unfortunately I don't know what the issue could be.

  • Calendar sync problem: "the default service for your device's calendar has changed..."

    When I go to sync, this window pops up:  "The default service for your device's 'Calendar' has changed since the last time you synchronized.  Click OK to use your new default service and combine your data, which might duplicate some entries.  Click Cancel to stop...."
    I haven't changed a thing.  What's going on?  I don't want to get duplicate entries.

    Yes, I sync with Outlook.  From what I understand, your default service should be your e-mail address for both mail & calendar.Spell Check

  • Driver for USB SB live! 24 bit exter

    I left my CD at home in Hong Kong and now I'm in the USA, so would any body tell me where could I get the driver for USB SB li've! 24 bit external?
    Thank you very much, I'm really sad as I just bought something new and can't use it.

    jkiang,
    The driver is not available for download at the moment. You could check with Direct Sales Department if they have the CD for order. Their phone number is -800-998-000 and it is option #. They are open from 9:00AM to 6:00PM (CST) Monday to Friday.

  • When I update apple driver, a pop-up error message "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device. If the foldre contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."

    Hi,
    Please also check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
    In addition, also check Device Manager, if similar driver already installed, try to uninstall them and reinstall new driver again for test.

    I see a mention of Google Chrome and VirtualBox in your log. Stop using those and see if the situation changes? From what we know so far, the problem is a software one (Apple's fault), not a hardware problem. Mountain Lion is supposed to fix the issue, which should be out in about a week. So you could wait til then, upgrade to ML, and see if its still crashing or not.

  • Udev not loading the right driver for usbtmc device

    I have a usb beam profiler  and I'm trying to get it to work on arch linux. It works using NI-VISA, so I should be able to communicate with it using usbtmc. However, when I plug it in, it does not show up in /dev.
    I think the problem is that udev is not loading the tmc interface driver when I plug it in.
    Here's a snippet of the output from lsusb -v:
    Interface Descriptor:
    bLength 9
    bDescriptorType 4
    bInterfaceNumber 0
    bAlternateSetting 0
    bNumEndpoints 4
    bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class
    bInterfaceSubClass 0
    bInterfaceProtocol 0
    iInterface 0
    I believe that bInterface* should look something like:
    bInterfaceClass 254 Application Specific Interface
    bInterfaceSubClass 3 Test and Measurement
    bInterfaceProtocol 1 TMC
    iInterface 5 TMC488
    Is there a way to force udev to load the right interface? Or is the problem that I'm missing something from my kernel?

    Could you post the entire output of lsusb -v for the device?

    What device node name are you expecting?
    Not sure, but probably /dev/usbtmc0
    Is there a chance that it is being instantiated as a HID device?  Does /dev/usbhid0 appear?
    Nope, don't have a /dev/usbhid0
    What does the journal say when the device has been attached?
    I'm not sure what you mean, but dmesg says:

  • Driver for USB 1608 G

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new on Labview and I want to acquire data from a usb 1608G from Measurement Computing. I can acquire data thanks to the ULx for NI Labview Library included in the usb 1608 G but I would like to use the Measurement & Automation Explorer...
    Unfortunately, it does'nt recognize the usb port... Is it because the usb 1608G is not a NI instrument? Is it because I don't have the correct driver?
    Thanks for your answers,
    Morgane CHARBONNEAU.

    Hello,
    If you have LabVIEW drivers for your usb device, why you want to use MAX for this?
    If you want to communicate using MAX, your device should fall in either USBTMC Class or RAW Class. Starting with version 3.0, NI-VISA supports USB communication for two classes of VISA resources USB INSTR (Test and Measurement Class) and USB RAW (class).
    More information will be available in http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4478/en/

  • Seagate drive quandary:  "USB device is drawing too much power"?

    I have a year-old Seagate external hard drive that when I plug in to a 2011 MacBook Air, it started saying something to the effect of "your USB device is drawing too much power and had been disable in order to aboud damage..."  I had been using this drive for some time, and this just started a few days ago.  I tried plugging it into a USB hub and directly into a USB on the MBA with the same result.  So I plugged in into my brand new 2012 MacMini and got the same messgae.  My initial conclusion:  the drive is dead.
    So I buy a new USB 3.0 Seagate compact external drive, plug it in and get the same error on my MBA and on the MacMini.  If that isn't odd enough, I have the exact same Seagate model plugged into my MacMini as the backup drive with no problems.  Any ideas??  Maybe I received a DOA drive by coincidence?
    UPDATE:  Tried the new drive on a Win7 PC and it recognized it fine.  Why would my 2011 MBA and 2012 MacMini not recognize the new drive?
