No communication with device control through AJA Io?

So this is weird (to me). I'm trying to capture a few Beta tapes and can't seem to get the device control going. For whatever reason I'm getting the "No Communication" message in my Log and Capture window. Of course, I'm getting the image in the window, but I can't control the deck through Log and Capture.
My settings seem right:
-Deck in remote mode
-FCP set to AJA Io device control
-Capture settings at AJA Io Betacam to DV (I know this isn't a problem because I can see the image)
-I have unplugged and reset each cable in each port on the deck, Io, and computer
The only thing I can think about is that the last footage I captured was from my MiniDV camera, so I must have tweaked some kind of a setting that I don't know about. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Stef

Device control: AJA Io RS-422 NTSC
The RS-422 cable is connected to both the deck and the AJA. The Firewire cable is connected to my 400 port and the AJA.
There has to be some kind of a problem with my 400 port, because I just daisy chained the AJA (which only uses a 400 cable) through my Lacie drive, which is connected to the laptop through the 800 port.
Is there an explanation for this? Hopefully besides, "Sounds like your 400 port chucks it, Stef. Time to go get a new one."

  • Printer prints but display says Communication lost (device - control panel); Turn off then on.

    HP Color LaserJet CM3530fs
    The printer is printing when asked to do so by a computer but the display says:
    Error
    Communication lost (device <->  control panel); Turn off then on.
    The orange attention light is illuminated and the display is always lit and shows the statement above.
    It does not improve when switched off and on or power disconnected for long periods or pushing reset button at rear of unit.
    Embedded web server works normally and thinks that all is ok.
    Buttons on control panel do nothing.  eg. I cannot photocopy or scan.
    The printer is about 2 years old but gets very light use in a family home.
    Please help
    Thank you.

  • Digital Fax to Folder Setup gives error message unable to establish 2-way communication with device

    Digital Fax to Folder Setup gives error message unable to establish 2-way communication  with device. I can s end a Fax and I can print documents. I can also, now, scan to computer. I have changed the phone line twice, restarted the router, restarted the computer, and made sure the front panel was lit when setting up the Digital Fax folder. I am on a Homegroup network, with both wireles and ethernet computers.  When I view the network, it sees both computers (wireless laptop and enthernet desktop), the printer, scanner, and router (VerizonDrive). I recently had to reinstall Windows 7, where Digital Fax to Folder Setup previously worked, and now it doesn't.  The network shows up as Network 3. When I try to view the network map, I get the error message that Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or there is an  incompatible router on the network.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hello @JiffyFingers and Good Afternoon
    From what you have described, and from the work you did on another thread, I believe you'd get better assistance talking to either Microsoft or your router manufacturer. With not being able to create the network map, that's something a bit more intricate than digital fax setup
    You can have a look at this Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or th... Microsoft thread as well, and you may be able to figure it out from there.
    Hope that helps, have a great day!

  • Error message saying "unable to establish two-way communication with device"

    I have an HP C309a printer/scanner/fax. I have recently reconfigured it to work wirelessly instead of via the USB cable, which it does. But if I try to go on to  the HP Solution Centre/Settings/Printer Toobox to clean the printheads, it tells me that this cannot be done because "the computer cannot establish two-way  communication with the device".
    If I plug the USB cable back in, I can clean the printheads fine.
    Does anyone have a way of allowing me to clean the printheads without using the USB cable?
    roger

    Hi rogercorke,
    I believe you can also clean the printhead from the printer control screen. Press the Wrench button from the printer Home screen and then press Tools>Clean Printhead.
    If you need to use this feature wirelessly, try running the HP network diagnostic utility on your wireless setup and see what it says: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/en/hho/ipg/foru...

  • Communication with motor control using RS-232

    I need to use labview to communication with a stepper motor drive using the serial port RS-232. Could someone please get me started I'm not sure if a should use VISA or instrument I/O. And if I use one of those, how would I set it up?

    Hi Phil,
    Outside of LabView, how do you communicate with or control the motor drive?  If you are able to use software like HyperTerminal or Procomm, then using the VISA serial communication tools will be the simple way of implementing your solution.
    Here are some links which may provide clues on how to proceed.  You can also do a search on VISA Serial communication.
    Happy wiring!!

  • Communicating with DI-Server through JavaScript (NodeJS with Express)

    Hello experts,
    i am looking for a way to communicate with the DI-Server from JavaScript.
    From .NET it's not a problem.. i add the COM Object of the DI-Server and call Interact(request);
    But how can i make calls from JavaScript.
    Can i maybe send direct SOAP requests to the DI-Server? if yes, how can i do that?
    my idea is to make a .NET Webservice (WebAPI or WCF) which handles the communication with the DI-Server
    and from my node.js application i just send DIS requests to the service and handle the responses.
    Is there maybe a better way to do this?

    Hi Jan,
    This seems a reasonable approach, although I would also have a look at the B1if. This framework allows you to create a RESTful interface which you could then use with your Node.js app.
    Have a look here to start with B1if.
    Good luck.

  • How can i use labview for communicating with pic18 microcontroller through usb port?

    Hi all,
    I want to make a DAQ card using pic 18 microcontroller which has a built-in usb protocol. I have the firmware of this
    controller which will  make it as a usb device. How can i receive the analog voltages from this DAQ card in Labview? or i mean to say that how i can communicate labview with the Pic 18 microcontroller through usb port? I have also the
    mpusbapi.dll file which is for Visual C++. Can i make changes in this dll file to make it compatible with labview?

    Which labview version do you have. Up to labview 7.1 it was no USB raw communication options. I have heard it did not work well in 7.1, but from 8.x most of the errors were fixed.

  • Problems communicating with device over TCP/IP

    Greetings,
    In designing a GUI for a device with both RS-232 and TCP/IP communications capability, I've run into quite a puzzling issue that has me stumped and my brain in pain.  You can query and send commands to this device using ASCII commands.  Developing the serial port communications aspect of the GUI was trivial.  My problem with TCP/IP is this:
    I first establish the TCP connection using the "TCP open" vi.  I then send my ASCII command or query (that is CR terminated) using "TCP write," pause for 250 ms, and then read using, "TCP read" in the CRLF mode (the device does respond with CRLF line termination).  Success using this method in LV is intermittent, especially when I put the write/read vi in a loop and go between querying and sending commands-only.  As a matter of fact, if I am only querying the device, it will run indefinitely without any problems and my front panel indicators display values from the read buffer.  As soon as I send a command (to change a setting, for example), an error is propagated and the GUI no longer receives the data from the read buffer.  More recently, I've found out that the device is definitely receiving the commands even when the GUI fails to retrieve the read buffer, because I can send a query, switch over to hyperterminal, and hit return... it displays my response in HT without my even having to type in a command!  I'm totally stumped here, as I've played around with all kinds of delays in different places, different read modes, opening/closing connections, etc.  I even tried putting in a redunant "dummy" read by itself, and a dummy read following a write with just a CR as the command (I thought this might solve my problem based on the behavior I saw when switching over to hyperterminal).
    I've been searching the discussions for similar problems, but to no avail.  I have read that TCP communications is handled by the OS, so perhaps this is where I am running into trouble?  Any help, advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    (A little bit more information on the device: The way I want the device to work is as a monitor, so it should be querying indefinitely unless the user sends a command to update a setting, at which point it would send the command and then resume monitor status).

    Hello CryoGuy,
    Thanks for the question.
    Your description seems to fit this KB about poor performance in TCP read.  If this document isn't helpful, please let us know the following:
    1.  Which OS are you using?
    2.  Which version of LabVIEW are you using?
    3.  What's the specific error number and message you're getting?
    4.  At which function in LabVIEW are you seeing this error?  (Turn on highlight execution to see where the error starts if the message doesn't say.)

  • Can PO communication language be controled through User parameter?

    Dear,
    I am importing material from internal vendor.While creating PO the system is giving Error "No short text maintained in language DE ".After analysis i got to know that it is due to miss match between vendor communication language and material master description language.Now we can not change vendor master communication language form DE to EN because the vendor general data is maintained by the Germans and as per the logic it should be in thier local language.The next thing is we do not want to extend material description in language  DE as it may confuse Indian user.So kindly guide  how to resolve this issue?
    Is there any user parameter to control this language error?
    Regards
    Dina

    what you describe is like you want go swimming without getting wet.
    No, you cannot control the language from a user parameter.
    you have to maintain the material descriptions in any language that is used as communication language in vendor master.
    A communication language should always be a language that could be understood by both parties, you and your vendor.
    a common used vendor should have EN as communication language.
    There should be a design concept in your company for such cases, otherwise it is a gap and needs to be closed with a decision that one of the effected parties does not like.

  • Device control through USB

    I have a customer that has a kiosk that they want to enhance and modify. The original version was done using a program called LabView which communicates with a DAQ module plugged into the usb port. There are five buttons. The first 4 buttons pump dirty water out of their corresponding containers into a holding talk. The 5th button pumps the dirty water through a filter and into a clean water tank. My question - is there a way to control the motors and servos through the DAQ module using Director?

    I found out from one of the company reps that the DAQ Module is controlled by C++ commands, LabView commands, and ActiveX commands. So I should be able to insert an ActiveX control in Director and do it that way.

  • VISA serial port communication – communication with device too slow

    I am having some trouble with using VISA to communicate with a serial device. I am trying to control an advanced illumination line light. The attached program writes information to it just fine, nothing fancy there. However it seems that if I try to update any faster than about 300mS the line light controller will not properly receive the information and does not adjust the light. The device came with a simple program to control it which can update faster than 100mS. Any suggestions for faster updates?
    Thanks,

    Looks like this will be a rather useful program...
    I ran the program and the results are in the attached files. 250mS.txt is of course running the LabVIEW application with a 250mS wait and 350mS.txt is using 350mS. As can be seen from the files everything returns a success each time, however the line light does not properly adjust its self when I use 250mS.

  • No Communication with CP100 Control Surface

    We've been using the CP100 with Final Touch, but Color isn't talking to it. The dialog still comes up asking if we would like to use the CP100. I hit the Yes button and...nothing works. Any clues?

    I had luck getting it to work like this...
    - Connect the CP100 to the Mac via Ethernet Port 1 and the TDLAN port on the panel
    - Right-click on the Color application and Show Package Contents
    - Go into Contents-->MacOS-->
    - Change the file named 'openNDRVSocket' to 'openNDRVSocketTemplate'
    At this point, launch Color and you'll get the CP100 prompt for a new device. This time, when you click yes, it should prompt you for an administrator password.
    After this, the panel has been working well.

  • Establishing communication with GPIB devices

    I am a newbee to GPIB and a novice at VB (6.0). Have been unable to establish communication with devices from the VB .exe. I think I am not declaring something in the right place? Any suggestions?

    TG,
    What kind of trouble are you having reading data from the instruments? There's information that addresses some of the common issues about why communication with instruments might fail. For more information, please refer to:
    Why Can't I Communicate with My GPIB Instrument?
    A couple of useful tools that you can use to check out communication to the instrument before writing your Visual Basic app are NI-488.2 Communicator and
    Interactive Control (IBIC)
    If you are still having trouble after trying out some of the suggestions listed above, it would be helpful if you capture the ibwrt and ibrd calls using NI Spy, save the Spy capture, and then attach it to this forum. If you are unfamiliar with Spy, here's a link with information about how to use Spy:
    NI Spy
    Hope this information helps with getting data back from the instrument.

  • Initial Print jobs 'communication error with device'. Pause and restart job

    So, I have an odd variant of the Leopard print problem; on 3 separate systems.
    When I print to an HP Photosmart C7180, which setup fine, which I can scan to fine, the print job throws an error :error communicating with device, switch on and off' and so forth. It does that from any app, and consistently. I am printing via bonjour, the printer is networked, but on a static IP.
    To fix this EVERY-TIME I PAUSE printer, then start printer again. It immediately starts working, consistently until I sleep, log out, or don't print for a while.
    This seems to be some timeout issue or such. I tried IP printing, but no difference.
    Resetting the print system also did not help.
    It's not catastrophic but sooo annoying. Any input appreciated!
    Thx,
    Dan

    Hello SunnygirlQ. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:
    o Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
    I assume that this printer works just fine when it is connected directly to your Mac ... correct? If so, has it worked when connected to the AX in the past ... or has it always had this problem? If it did work correctly before, did you do any updates, especially to the AX, recently?
