Old pci-7334 for Linux

I bought a PCI-7334 (for spare) two years ago (2008) for an instrument observatory. The control software was under Linux, and unfortunately this new version of PCI-7334 does not work with old driver for Linux. Also, this new board works fine under Windows.
I am looking for someone who could sell me an older version (2005) of the PCI-7334 (Copyright 2001) or against me share the news.
Look image in attachment.
Best regards, David.

PCI-6602 driver for LINUX

I am looking for a driver PCI-6602 for LINUX. Does it exists?

Hello;
NI doesn't have drivers for DAQ devices and Linux, however, there is a Company that does drivers for Linux and our DAQ boards, named Comedi.
Comedi's link to their website is:
http://stm.lbl.gov/comedi/
Hope this helps.

A stepper motor attached to PCI-7334 travels in same direction for both +/- input

Hi everyone, I'm seeing some bizarre behavior on my system and was hoping you could help me out.
I have the PCI-7334 stepper controller installed and running on my system, with 2 axis-s connected.
Axis 1 operates as expected, running one direction for a positive target, and the other for a negative target.
Axis 2 on the other hand, runs in the same direction regardless of if I give it a positive or negaative target position.
This seems to be limited to axis 2, I connected the wires running from axis 1 on the connector block to the second motor driver and it then started to act as expected.
Any idea whats going on?

Have you checked with a DMM or a scope if the Dir output is working fine? Maybe this behavior is caused by the wiring of the open collector outputs for step & direction. Maybe due to device tolerances the current driven by axis 2 for the Dir output is a little bit too low, so the drive doesn't recognize the changed level. Please refer to this link in our KB and check if the wiring hints apply to your setup.
A second option is a defective board. In this case please contact your local NI branch.
Thanks,
Jochen

12VDC for Limit and Home Signals for PCI 7334 using UMI-7764

Can 12VDC be used for Limit and Home Signals for PCI 7334 using UMI-7764.
Can the UMI 7764 be damaged if over voltage is supplied to it. If so can it be repaired or it has to replaced.

Specifications for the Limit Switchs (home, forward, reverse, etc) is
determined by the specifications of your NI motion controller PCI
board. The UMI functions only as a pass through and breakout for the
board .
The valid limit swich voltage for the PCI-7334 is 0 - 5 V. You will have to divide down a 12 V input before running it to
the UMI and to your board. The 3.3k pull up resistor is only used to
pull floating voltages to TTL levels and does not protect for high
voltage signals.
Please note that the UMI-7774 provides optical isolation for limit switches and extended input levels (e. g. limit switch voltages: On = 3.5 to 30 V, Off = 0 to 2 V).

sun still hasn't reenabled the web page for the download of jmf for linux because of an MP3 issue.
I can't test my application because of this!
Can some non-Sun employee PLEEEASE email me a copy of the OLD jmf for Linux that plays MP3? Or tell me where I can get it???? I will only going use it internally for testing until the licensing issue gets straightened out, and, anyway, this is for a medical transcription app, NOT a mass-market broadcast pirated music over the web app
PLEASE, I need some help.

Flash for linux .tar.gz package is still the old 346 version

i trid to upgrade my flash, so i download the .tar.gz package from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ , after the file was installed, i loaded a flash video in firefox, and found the version is 11.2.202.346. i also downloaded the rpm package, the version is 356.
i think the .tar.gz package should also be updated and i suggest that the version should be containded in the file name so that it is easy to distinguish.

11.2.202.346 was and is the last version to be developed for Linux. There won't be any more.

Looking for drivers for an old PCI-FlexMotion card

I'm trying to use an old PCI-FlexMotion card (ASSY nr. 184979B-01) in my win XP PC. The motion software version 5.0 seems not to have a compatible driver because the OS did not found the PIC card. I did not find any addtional driver on NI-support side. Is there any chance to use the PIC card. That old is it not!
thanks.

Nop, it didn't work:
but: I have only MOTION 5.2. (no other older version in available in the NI-Support page) However, I tried with 5.2 copying the files as described in the readme text. The OS does not recognise the FlexMotion board.
Trying choosing the driver manually (PCI device propertiesà update driveràspecific locationà don’t search) in the NI motion controller driver list the Flexmotion board does not appear. I only see: PCI-encoder-4a, PCI Servo-XX, PCI-Step-XXX and some other PXI-7XXX devices. I’ve test some of them with no success.
Thank you.

Is there really a Cisco VPN client for Linux? _Really?_

Hello folks,
        I've finally after almost experiencing a brain aneurysm by trying to think too hard got my Cisco 881-SEC-K9 router properly configured for a multipoint IPSec VPN tunnel to my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, so that hurdle is finally passed and I actually feel it was a very important milestone in my life somehow. I never thought I'd see the day I actually got my hands on a legitimate Cisco non-stink... erm.. I mean, non-linksys router. Now I just can't seem to find a 'client' VPN program for Linux. I'm currently running a Xen Hypervisor environment on openSUSE Linux because it's the only Linux distribution that completes all of my strenous requirements in a Linux server environment. It's also the most mature, and secure Linux on this planet, making it the most appreciable Linux distribution for my research needs. Using NetworkManager is not really an option for a basic Linux server environment, and OpenVPN is just too confusing to comprehend for my tiny little head. I've heard mention of some mysterious "Easy VPN" but after hours of digging online can't find any information about it, even the Cisco download link leads to a Page Not Found error. I do see a Linux VPN API for the AnyConnect program, but is that an actual VPN client, or just an API? It seems to want my money to download it but I don't have any money nor do I really know what it is because it's all secretive-like, closed source, and I can't even find a simple README file on it explaining what it is exactly. I'm just an out-of-work software developer trying to connect to my home router for personal use and I can't really afford to fork over a million and a half dollars for a single program that I'm only going to need to download once in my lifetime that should have been included with the router in the first place. I more than likely won't even be able to figure out how to use the program anyways because I don't know anything about VPN connections which is why I bought this router so I can try to figure it all out as part of the not-for-profit open source, volunteer research I'm presently trying to conduct. Is there some kind of evaluation or trial period for personal use? That would be really nice so I could at least figure out if I'm going to be able to figure it out or not. I hate throwing money away when it's in such short supply these days. There's really no alternative to a Cisco router. It's an absolute necessity for the things I'm trying to accomplish, so trying to settle for something else and going on with my life is not really an option. No, this is something I just need to face head on and get it over with.
<Rant>
       Maybe I have a little too much crazy in me for my own good, but I don't see why it should take so much money just to learn how to do something for personal reference, it's not really a skill I would ever use otherwise. Wouldn't it be great if Cisco made their VPN client open source and free to the public to use and modify, to improve on, to learn and to grow and bring the whole world closer together as a community? Even the source code to the old discontinued Cisco VPN client could be used as a valuable learning tool for some poor starving college student or Open Source Software developer somewhere trying to get by on Ramen Noodles and Ramen Noodle Sauce on Toast (don't tell me you never thought about it). Through the ripple effect, It would drastically improve sales over the course of time, because it would open the door to a whole new market where those who previously could not afford to participate now could. That's the true power of Open Source. It creates a more skilled work force for the future by openly contributing and sharing knowledge together. What if the next big internet technology and the solution to world tyranny - the solution to end all wars forever - were locked in the mind of an unemployed software developer who couldn't afford to upgrade their cisco router software or access the software they needed because it was closed source and required committing to an expensive service contract to download? That would be just terrible, wouldn't it? I guess there's no way to ever know for sure. I suppose I'd be just as happy if some kind soul out there could point me to an easy to use alternative to an always on VPN connection that runs in the background which doesn't require NetworkManager or having to spend days upon days digging through and trying to comprehend either some really poor or extremely complex documentation? I apologize for all the run on sentences posed as questions, but I've just got some serious mental burnout from all of this, being unemployed is some hard work folks. I could really use a vacation. Perhaps a camping trip to the coast is in order after I get this working, that sounds nice, doesn't it? Nothing like a good summer thunder storm on the ocean beach - far away from technology - to refresh the mind.
</Rant>

I do tend to talk too much and I don't mince any words either. What I am however, is really appreciative for the help. I know you hear that all the time, but you have no idea how much time and headache you just saved me. I think vpnc might be just what I've been looking for, unless someone can think of a client for Linux that I might be able to throw a little further. I'm very security minded now, after the backlash of Blackhat 2013, there's no telling which direction the internet might head next. Oh, you didn't hear? Well wether they realize it or not, DARPA basically declared war with other government agencies by releasing their own version of a spy program for civilians to use against the whoever -- possibly even the governmnet itself. They even went so far as to suggest it's private usage to blanket entire cities in information gathering. Civilians are a powerful foe, as they are not bound by the oath of office, any evidence they obtain is admissible in court, wether they know that or not. There's a very important reason for that. It's to prevent another civil war from ever happening, we shed enough blood the first time around less people forgot. It's something that can and will be avoided because our civilization has advanced beyond the need for bloodshed. The courts have to obey the majority rule, no matter what. For the first time in history, cyberwarfare can reach into the physical world to cause serious damage to physical structures like the nuclear facility incident in Iran. There's scarry bills trying to sneak through congress that are changing the landscape of technology forever for the entire world. We're at a pivotal point now where things can happen. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next decade or so. No matter which way you look at it, just be preparerd to sell a whole lot of routers.

Analog Triggering and Interrupt generation on the PCIe-6320 under Linux

We would like to use the analog triggering functions of the PCIe-6320 under Linux to time tag external events.
I have no experience with the MH DDK but have been told this is what we would need to implement the functions we want. We plan on using Fedora Linux and we are targetting kernel 2.6.31 with the PREEMPT_RT patch applied. We may consider slightly more recent kernel versions. The PREEMPT_RT patch is used to greatly improve determinism in the system and get real-time responses to some external events.
Here is what we wish to do in more details:
We wish to route at least two analog inputs to the comparator, then route the output of the comparator to a digital input which in turn would create a PCIe interrupt. The interrupt software handler would than time tag that event for our application purposes. We need the comparator threshold to be software programmable in level and slope. We are also interested in using the Watchdog Timer feature of the board.
Our application is written in C/C++.
Would the above be feasible? Please provide comments and instructions how we should address our requirement.
Thanks!

Like I mentionned, we plan on using Linux kernel 2.6.31 with the PREEMPT_RT patch. Could you provide comments on that matter? I need to evaluate the amount of time I will need to spend to deploy and use MHDDK for the PCIe-6320.
There are two factors to consider when writing a driver for your specific application:
Using the deterministic kernel API calls
Writing to the device registers to
Control the watchdog timer
Configure the analog comparator
Manage the analog subsystem state as trigger events occur
Handle device interrupts
The MHDDK for X Series offers the following behavior out-of-the-tarball:
A Linux kernel module using the standanrd kernel and PCI subsystem calls
Mapping device registers to user-mode for access
Demonstrating/documenting how to
Control the watchdog timer (dioex6.cpp)
Manage the analog subsystem state as trigger events occur (aiex2.cpp, aiex4.cpp)
Handle device interrupts (reference manual only)
There are two notably missing pieces and one item to consider:
Missing: deterministic kernel API calls. If you decide to use the nirlpk module, you would need to change it from the standard interfaces to the deterministic variants.
Missing: configuring the analog comparator. You will need to implement this with additional insight from this discussion board.
Consider: if your application requires device access from kernel-mode only, you would not be able to use the MHDDK's C++ classes that perform device programming but would need to implement register programming in C.
To estimate the time for these three, here are my recommendations:
Review the nirlpk.c source file to understand how device access and DMA buffers are implemented and mapped to the user-mode application.
Beware that operation-specific programming help (as you would need for analog triggering) typically requires two weeks for a complete response.
Review the ChipObjects in the MHDDK distribution to understand how register addresses, widths, and bit fields affect device programming.

Sound in PDFs not playing - suse - latest Reader for linux (7.0.9?)

I have a pdf that has sound files incorporated into it somehow and I can't get them to play. I am using the latest available adobe reader for linux and I have suse linux, I forget what version but not too old. When I click on the link for the sound, absolutely nothing happens. I know it does work because it works at work on Vista. I am not sure whether there are actual sound files in there or if they are links to files on the internet. I suspect maybe they are links because it also will not work in windows XP with Reader 8 on a computer not connected to the internet. However, I have been able to find no information on this, so I don't have a clue.
Is sound in pdfs a Reader 8 only feature? Does it just not work in Linux? Is there any way to be able to listen to those audio clips?

So you mean there is a release coming out that will solve my problem? Does anyone know when?
(The only thing I've found is stuff written in December last year saying they will release Reader 8 for linux/Unix soon. Soon has been and gone since then ;) )

Problem updating the Firmware on a PCI-7334

About me: I am pretty new to the Labview/NI landscape so I may be missing something here! That said im very technically aware in general and believe I understand what is going on here.
Background: This NI PCI-7334 board has been taken from currently unused project stock so current physical condition of board is not really known (ie was not recently working) although it appears to be in good physical order.
Attempting to setup a new Labview 7 Express development environment on new PC hardware with a clean build of Windows XP Pro SP1 along with 1 x IMAQ PCI-1411 and 1 x IMAQ PCI-1408.
Attempting to update the PCI-7334 with the latest firmware in NI Motion 6.1.2. I select the option "Update All Firmware Sectors" f
rom the firmware tree by right mouse clicking. It starts off with the buttonless (ie No Cancel Button) file transfer progress dialog box. But after about 30 seconds I keep getting the error "Error configuring the board for download. Please ensure that the board is in a reset state and that no other application is communicating with it."
Existing Firmware versions are listed in NiMAX as:
68331 - 6.00.3012
DSP - 6.00.3008
FPGA1 - [BLANK*]
FPGA2 - [BLANK*]
*Listed in tree without a version
Unusually under the General listing I get "0" for the device serial number!
When I go into the "Status" area and choose the "Reset Device" option I eventually get these status lights (red):
Ready to Receive
Power Up Reset
Modal Error Message
0x80 Move Complete Status
I have tried removing all other cards from the PC to ensure there is not a compatability issue.
At this stage it would appear that it is a hardware problem so I was wondering what options I have available to g
et this card repaired. Is repair by NI economically viable or is a new puchase a better approach? IE are repairs done at a fixed price or based on materials and labour?
Please advise!
Thanks, Rod.

I agree with your diagnostics. It looks like something went wrong during the last firmware update. The only solution for this problem is to send the board for repair.
NI has fixed prices for repairs which are much cheaper than buying a new board. Please contact your local NI branch for details.

Controling a sigma koki motorrized stage via a PCI 7334

Hi everyone,
I am trying to control a sigma koki motorized stage via a PCI 7334.
The motor is a stepper motor.
For information, here is the connection diagram of the stage via the driver (SG55M on the diagram) to the controler:
http://www.sigma-koki.com/english/D/SteppingMotors/Diagram/Diagram/Diagram.html
I ran a selftest on the motor using the driver and everything is going well.
As a first step of my design, i would just like to control the motor without any feedback, and without limit switch options.
I am using a 1:1 connector CB68LPR from NI to connect the driver to the PCI 7334. Doing this, i provide CW and CCW signals from the PCI to the driver as well as the inhibit signal. Thus, I come up using the pins 1,35, and 6 of the 68pins connector. Looking at other threads posted on NI, I believe those connections are enough to observe a simple move of my motor isnt it?
When i try out within MAX to test a movement using the 1 D interactive feature, my stage doesnt move.
MAX is confingured as followed:
> only axis1 enabled
> CW, CCW stepper mode
> limit and home switch disabled
> inhibit output setting enable
> ADC, PWM, ENcoder disabled since i dont use them so far
Those parameters are initializing the pci.
Is there other parameters that i should look at and which could prevent my motor to work?
While doing this first step, I monitor the signals from the PCI via oscilloscope and clock pusles are ok.
It is the first time i try to control a stepper motor using a PCI so i read the documentation to be found on Ni website, and i may just have forgoten something, but i cant see what...
Do i need to provide some additional signals? Or just with CW, CCW, and inhibit is ok?
If you find any comments or recommendations, they are welcome
Cheers ^ - ^

Hello Gegurissi,
To test the motor with a minimum configuration, you can connect CW, CCW, and digital ground lines to the driver.
It looks like that there is no ground connected to the motor, so please make sure that they are connected to the ground of the driver, too.
For the MAX settings, it seems fine, but the settings have to be saved and the board has to be initialized before the motor is moved.
In 1-D Interactive feature, please make sure that a value is entered in the "target position" section and click "apply" button.
Also, are there any error messages when you move the stage?
One last thing I would like to mention is that it is strongly recommended to use Universal Motion Interfaces (UMI) and Motion cables for the NI motion controllers.
The UMI devices are powered, such that they can provide necessary power to encoders, limit switches, etc.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

PCI-7334 and L298

Hi there!
Hope someone will help me with this one. I am currently working on a project that uses the pci-7334 stepper motor controller. unfortunately, i don't have any power drive with me. but i do have an UMI-7764 connector block and a L298 dual full-bridge driver. i also have some stepper motors with me but they are not of NI's. my question is: is it possible for me to used the pci-7334 to connect with the L298 and to the stepper motors using the UMI-7764? if possible, could anyone help me with the proper wire connections? thanks ahead for the response!
kris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is NOT that easy to drive a stepper motor, you need quite a bit more circuitry than just a plain half-bridge driver. You also have to control the current flowing through the motor winding. This is mostly done via PWM (pulse width modulation) since this method allows for using plain on/off switches which have more efficiency than an analogue control circuit. Also, using plain switches allows for running a stepper motor in full-step mode only which will yield rather rough motion/rotation.
You can enter the learning curve and design all this from scratch but it will be probably much more cost and time effective to use a ready-for-use driver. We are using drivers from IMS
http://www.imshome.com
They also offer a range of stepper motors but their drivers are compatible with most 2/4 phase stepper motors on the market, we are using them together with Phytec and Oriental motors. Their manuals are very extensive and also cover the basics of stepper motor operation and connection to drivers.
