PCI-5640R for my thesis

Hi everyone!
First, I apologize for my english, but I'll do my best to be understood
So, I'm starting with my thesis that I have to defend at the end of this year, and my mentor(?) gave me this PCI-5640R card to explore. At this point I must say, that I'm totally rookie with this Even more, I don't even know how to explore it. OK, I installed card in my PC, installed LabVIEW, drivers for the PCI card etc. It gets complicated or frustrated when I try to run some demos - it has always some errors.I read "Gettting started" thing, but still no success A lot of "VIs" is missing while loading example.
All I have to do is to run some demos for PCI-5640R card that will demonstrate it's functions and capabilities. And my thesis is basically done...well, still have to dome reasearch on SDR, DPS, LabVIEW etc.
Any help, suggestions will be more then appreciated!
Best regards from Slovenia!

Senad,
I think I could better asses what is going on if you tell me what software you are running.
Please tell me your:
Operating System Version?
Operating System 32 or 64bit?
LabVIEW version?
LabVIEW 32bit or 64bit?
Are you using LabVIEW FPGA?
NI-RIO Version?
NI-5640R Driver Version?
These National Instruments software versions can be found in Measurement and Automation Explorer with the exception of the NI-5640R Driver. The NI-5640R driver version can be found by going to control panel >> add/remove programs >> National Instruments Software.
Also, if you write down a few of the missing file names it might help me figure out what is missing.

Simulation mode for PCI-5640R

Hi,
I am evaluating whether to buy a PCI-5640R (or PXI-5641R) card for a project. I would like to prototype the code first to see if what I want to do would work. Is it possible to use the 5640R driver in simulation mode, without a physical card installed? M-series daq cards support this, is there similar support for 5640R / 5641R/
thanks in advance
greg

Hi Greg,
You can simulate the use of your IF Transceiver code before you make a decision on whether or not to purchase. There are a couple caveats though. First, you must have the NI-5640R driver installed in order to find that device as a simulated device. The other thing is that you'll need to have the LabVIEW FPGA module already purchased and installed. If neither of these are issues, then you are good to go for prototyping. I recently updated the instructions on how to set your IF-RIO FPGA project for simulation that you can find HERE.The updates that I made to include the IF-RIO may not be live yet, but should be up within the next day. Those instructions should get you rolling. Enjoy!

FPGA Base Clocks PCI-5640R

Hi,
 I am using NI PCI-5640R. Following FPGA Base Clocks are available to me:
(1) Configuration_Clk
(2) RTSI_Ref_Clk
(3) DAC_0_IQ_Clk
(4) DAC_1_IQ_Clk
(5) ADC_0_Port_A_Clk
(6) ADC_1_Port_A_Clk
Can anyone help me with brief descriptions of each clock? When these clocks are to be used?
Kindly send me some URL links where I can find details about the usage of these clocks?
Thanks and Regards,
Rashid

Hello Rashid,
(1) Configuration_Clk - This is 20MHz onboard clock, which runs independently of the other clocks. The role of the 20MHz configuration_clk is to provide a fixed frequecny configuration clock that is use by STC2 ASCI for PCI-DMA operations. Also this clock is not synchronized to the 200MHz VCXO or to the external clock
(2) RTSI_Ref_Clk - This is a device reference clock derived from 200MHz internal VCXO, by setting the dividing factor ranging from 1,2,4,8 and 16.
The I/Q clocks are the signals that indicate the rate of the baseband data. These clocks indicate the rate of the data before the digital upconversion in DAC and the rate of the data after the digital downconversion for ADC. They are described as below.
(3) DAC_0_IQ_Clk and (4) DAC_1_IQ_Clk -
 DAC__IQ_Clk = 2 × REFCLKDAC_ × Clock multiplierDAC_ / InterpolationDAC_
where
REFCLKDAC_ is the specified device reference clock / N2 or 3 CDC. Specify the divisor using the ni5640R CDC Program VI.
Clock multiplierDAC_(M) is equal to 1 or 4 ≤ M ≤ 20. Configure the clock multiplier using the ni5640R DAC Program VI.
InterpolationDAC_ is the hardware interpolation rate determined by the DAC fixed 4× interpolator times a programmable 2× to 63× CIC interpolating filter. The programmable CIC interpolator can be configured using the ni5640R DAC Profile VI.
(5) ADC_0_Port_A_Clk and (6) ADC_1_Port_A_Clk -
 ADC__Port_A_Clk = ENCADC_ × Clock multiplierADC_ / (Predivide FactorADC_ × DecimationADC_)
where
ENCADC_ is the device reference clock / N0 or 1 CDC. Specify the divisor using the ni5640R Configure Timebase VI.
Clock multiplierADC_(M) is equal to 1 or 4 ≤ M ≤ 20. Configure the clock multiplier using the ni5640R Input Port VI.
Predivide FactorADC_ (N) is equal to 1, 2, 4, or 8. Configure the predivide factor using the ni5640R Input Port VI.
DecimationADC_ is the decimation factor for a particular channel in the ADC. Decimation is performed in various filters throughout the processing channel. Each channel includes one CIC filter (decimates by 1 to 32), two FIR-HB filters (each decimates by 2), one DRC filter (decimates by 1 to 16) and one CRCF filter (decimates by 1 to 16). Configure all these filters using the ni5640R ADC Configure DDC VI.
The figure below shows how all the above clocks are derived

Using NI PCI-5640R as Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

Hi,
The code for NI PXIe-5641R Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer demo is posted HERE for LV 2009. I want to use the same code for NI PCI-5640R instead of NI PXIe-5641R. Since I am using a 5640R, I have changed the device in the project.
Can any one guide me what else changes I have to make in this Demo code so that I can use the same code for NI PCI-5640R
instead of NI PXIe-5641R?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Eug,
It sounds to me like you need to go back and re-install support for LabVIEW 2009 and 2010 through the NI-RFSA driver. You can do this through Add/Remove Programs. Select National Instruments "Change/Remove" and when the pop up window comes up select NI-RFSA and select "Modify." This will re-load the installer for NI-RFSA and through there you can add/remove support for versions of LabVIEW. Make sure that LV 2009 and 2010(if you're using it) are selected.
As for your application, if I understand you correctly your setup goes something like PXI-5600»PXIe-5641R»PXI-5610 (»PXI-5690?). If you're just trying to acquire a signal on the 5641R and amplify it digitally before replaying it on the AO port, then you could try to use the example code "ni5640R Analog Input and Output" that is found here:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\examples\instr\ni5640R\FPGA\PXIe-5641R\ni5640R Analog Input and Output\
as a base to follow, but you'll need to modify the code so that you're not providing the AO data from the host, instead you'll re-route the AI data on the FPGA through some amplification block and then feed that to the AO port. If you're including the 5600 and 5610 in this process, then that modified example will just need to include some code on the host to setup the 5600 for downconverter only mode and the 5610 for upconverter only mode. There are examples of this that you can find in their respective driver examples:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\examples\instr\niRFSA\RFSA Downconverter with External Digitizer.vi
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\examples\instr\niRFSG\RFSG External AWG (5610).vi
The addition of these last two pieces of code will make this modified example look a lot like the code that NAyer linked above without the FFT processing.
I hope this helps.

Multiple issues with PCI-5640R FPGA: DAC and Strange Execution at Host

We are working on a communications systems project using the PCI-5640R
IF-RIO transceiver and the FPGA module. At the FPGA, a sequence of bits are
being modulated through multiplication with the sine wave generator. The
next step is to take the modulated sinusoidal signal and send it through the
DAC. Throughout this project, we have been using the Analog Input and Output
example project from Getting Started with the 5640-R IF... as a template
to build this project. There are, however, several issues/questions we
have. Attached are the HOST and FPGA vis that we are working with.
1. The host only runs every other time. At the host (BPSK_TX(HOST).VI, the execution gets
halted for an infinite period of time at one of the FIFOs until 'stop' is
hit. But then at the subsequent execution, the host completes execution
of the program. In other words, the host is only receiving data from the
FPGA every second time it is run. Why is this happening? Are we missing
something at the host or FPGA VI?
2. How exactly do we send our own digitized signal through
the DAC? As seen in one of the FPGA VIs, we have tried modfiying the
output section of the FPGA VI in the Analog Input and Output project in which
the FPGA reads from the FIFO. In our case, we are modulating the signal
in a separate section, writing it to a target-scoped FIFO and then reading from
that FIFO and processing the data as in the example. This modified FPGA
vi is "BPSK_TX(FPGA).VI)
Unfotunately, we are not observing anything at an oscilloscope
connected to the transceiver. Even when we try to pass in a
"custom" signal at the HOST we have no luck observing anything
coherent. As seen in the bare_sine_wave_test (FPGA).vi, we have
attempted a relatively simple way of sending a signal through the DAC, yet
still no luck. I am guessing that this is related to issue #1.
On a related note, when
receiving the signal and running it through the ADC, what steps are
necessary? Can one assume that it is
similar to the FPGA.VI in the analog input and output example?
3. How do for loops and while loops synchronize with timed loops
and frames in the FPGA? In the FPGA we are using a for loop to
modulate the signal because the sine wave generator cannot be contained within
a timed loop on the FPGA. This will be important to us because at the
receiver we will need to know the symbol rate in order to recover the signal.
I would sincerely appreciate any feedback or help that can be provided
on this,

It may be that the FPGA Refernce has not been binded. The issue was that the VIs need to be bound to the ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl control. This is an option on the popup menu when clicking on the Open FPGA VI Reference VI. In some cases, it may already be selected in the popup menu. In this case, unselect the Bind to Typedef option. For good measure, I usually selected the FPGA VI to use with the host VI, and then I reset the Bind to Typedef option. In most cases this should fix the ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl control mismatches throughout the VI. In some cases, I have to Save All, close the host VI and all subVIs. Then reopen the host VI. This has always working in all cases for me.

How I've Eluded Soundblaster Driver incompatibilities for all these years

Hi I just want to share my experience on Soundblaster. It's been several years since the X-Fi's release. I was then using the original SB li've 5. to my original 53 units of computer in my PC internet and Gaming Shop. All these years I had to replace unit after unit as it grows old and manifest system problems but never would have failed to put soundblaster as a soundcard for that particular new or replaced unit. I have jumped from SB li've 5. to audigy series and then as of now X-Fi extreme music.And so far in my entire life I have never encountered a single problem out of soundblaster not even in a single unit of my PCs. And because Iam puzzled with all the complaints when I visit here. I pity all of you guys and I decided to make this post for a reason that it might help some of you as it had helped me through all my Creative experience years.
Ok here are the some simple steps I've been using and have acquired all these years and never did it failed me:
.You must know the inside and out of your PC. Find out all the drivers that has been installed from the past and present in your pc. This is generally important so that if you will have compatibility problem in the future you can start scanning and eliminating some incompatible drivers one at a time. If you don't know you can always go to "Run" and type:"regedit" and press "enter" and you will find all your drivers and activities you've done and currently making there. basically, everything as in everything even the secret of all secret funny things you've done in your pc from the past and present. Yes you can find all the things about you computer there. "If you familiarize yourself with your pc in the registry editor, you become one with your computer."
2. Before installing soundblaster soundcard, Be sure to "UNINSTALL ALL THE EXISTING SOUNDCARD DRIVERS" your closest friend might say it's okay I've tested it myself it doensn't matter if you uninstall the existing soundcard driver it or not. Never believe him/her, remember "The enemy of your enemy isn't always your enemy too." your pc has a different build content depending on your activities from the past and present with your friends have; and this will be a big factor if you are installing sensiti've drivers like creative's. Ignoring this often results to system problems of incompatibilities. Thus, you start to cry and blame creative for all the stupidity you just caused yourself.
3. After installing and you decide to restart now go to you "SYSTEM BIOS" and "turn off" your onboard soundcard there if you currently have one.
4. If you decide to reinstall the driver because you felt you've missed something. It never hurts to "ALWAYS UNINSTALL FIRST" And then install the current driver again.
5. Lastly, guess you've heard this one "Never fix your PC, if it ain't broke." If you try to overclock your PC a dozen or hundred times and you "suddenly forgot" the "last oveclock activity" you've made and then after a week you discovered you suddenly have a sound problem in your Battlefield 2 when the last time you played it the sound were okay. After a couple of hours of trying to reinstall and you've abide to all the right procedures installing above and still finds the sound in bf2 sucks. Don't panic and come blaming creai've again with your stupidity cause you just broke the general law and tried to fix something that ain't broke.
6. One more thing, never use very cheap, never heard motherboard that you personally insist it's too good for you. Some motherboards are genuinely incompatible with soundblaster X-fi as of now because the driver is in early stage. Early adopters usually gets hit with this.
Important: When uninstalling past creative drivers, actually to all the drivers in my case, just to be sure. Go to registry editor and erase all the hidden dll files and clutters. soundblaster drivers are not ordinary driver that once you uninstall this its all gone?.. No, it's not gone at all, In fact, soundblasters drivers are embedded so deep in your system that some people need driver cleanup softwares so that the hidden remaining dll files will be totally wiped out; problem is some bogus driver clean up softwares are in rage for years and there's a big chance that you would catch one, most specially the one that comes in free. But If you familiarize yourself in the registry editor, There's no software that can erase all the hidden files and dlls better than you would do it manually.Done this for years and it never did failed me.
***not so important in the process but better get rid of it st just to be sure anyway it's easy as .2..3... Try to remove all the spywares before installing by using Ad-Aware,Spybot search and destroy and microsoft ad remove software. Don't just try to use one, some spywares are just as stubborn as humans are.Message Edited by spenz on 04-7-2006 04:00 AMMessage Edited by spenz on 04-7-2006 04:00 AMMessage Edited by spenz on 04-7-2006 04:03 AM

*Edited due to length of post and the normal troubleshooting BS that you hear every time one user has a problem.
Good post for general troubleshooting, but it doesn't sit to well with me when there are literally thousands who have these problems. Don't you think this will rub anyones nose in the dirt who through no fault of they're own has problems?
I for one have a good working x-fi but for someone to say that the multitude of problems are due to bad installations or viruses, i feel is downright insulting for the people who have reformatted, bought new hardware, and come up against a brick wall each and every time.
I know a lot of the time when it comes to pc's and they're faults its due to the person themselves and not the pc, but those people tend to be few in number and don't complain of the same symptoms over and over again.
It exists on very popular motherboards and at a guess i would say the x-fi is asking for to much bandwidth which certain chipsets can not supply.
A pci asking for to much bandwidth is not the fault of the user the pc or some other supernatural event, its the pci card itself, they should conform within the pci specifications and not go over what is set by a standard.

PCI 5640R using Both ADCs

Hi,
I am having a difficulty acquiring data from both ADCs on the PCI-5640R. I started with the My Simple Spectrum Analyzer example in the User Guide tutorial and then added the second channel to it as seen in the figure. I didn't observe any errors, but the second FIFO (FIFO 1) comes back empty. Maybe I need ADC1 acquisition to occur in it's own timed loop with the ADC1_clk driving it? Maybe the problem is in the Host VI where I signal for acquisition and then read from FIFO before FIFO1? I'm hoping someone can provide an example to save me compile time in trying to guess my way through it. There must be a lot of people using both inputs!

Need fast, efficient, open-source PCIe DMA for your FPGA? RIFFA 2.2 from UCSD goes on GitHub

PCIe has been an intra-system connection interface of choice for quite a while now, offering a standardized and well-understood way to move large amounts of data quickly between, for example, a host CPU and an FPGA. Efficient, high-speed PCIe screams for DMA and if that’s what you need, the latest version of RIFFA 2.2 (Reusable Integration Framework For FPGA Accelerators) is now posted on GitHub and includes DMA IP you might want for your current or your next design.
RIFFA 2.2 employs communication channels between software threads running on a CPU and hardware user cores instantiated on an FPGA. A channel is similar to a network socket in that it must be opened before it can be read and written. Then it must be closed. However, unlike a network socket, channel reads and writes be made simultaneous by using two threads. Each channel is independent and thread-safe. RIFFA 2.2 supports as many as twelve channels.
Here’s a block diagram of the RIFFA hardware/software architecture:
RIFFA Hardware/Software Architecture
But the real measure of a DMA controller is its ability to move data quickly and efficiently. According to the UCSD RIFFA Web page, the latest RIFFA versions are “able to saturate the PCIe link for nearly all link configurations supported.” The following chart shows the performance of designs based on RIFFA 2.1 using the 32 bit, 64 bit, and 128 bit interfaces:
For more detailed information about RIFFA, see the RIFFA 2.2 documentation and these two papers:

Clock of PCI 5640R

Hi!
 I got a little bit confused by the clock of PCI 5640R.
 What does "nominal frequency" which appears when I add a clock in in the Project Explorer mean?
 How does it come into play with the following equation?
 DAC__IQ_Clk = 2 × REFCLKDAC_ × Clock multiplierDAC_ / InterpolationDAC_
 Thanks!
Dayu

Hi Dayu
The "nominal frequency" field in the Project Explorer is basically a value that the Xilinx tools use to determine if the FPGA code will run on the FPGA. In the process of compiling the code, it will determine the maximum speeds that portions of the circuit will run at. Say you specific 75.0 MHz. If Xilinx thinks the circuit can run at 100 MHz, there are no problems, but if Xilinx thinks that the circuit’s maximum speed is ~70 MHz, it will fail.
You should only have to change this if your FPGA code can’t run at the default number and you want to clock the circuit at a much slower rate. Then put in a value higher than the rate you are going to clock it, and lower than what the Xilinx tools say is the maximum rate for your code.
This value does not really factor into the DAC__IQ_Clk equation, which is configured with the Clock and DAC configuration VIs.

Pci-5640R Config.ADC 0 Microport Address write error

I am trying to run the tutorial in the "Getting Started with the NI PCI-5640R IF Transceiver and the LabVIEW FPGA Module" document. I got everything set up, but when I run it, I get an error which says

I can't figure out how to fix it.

It may be that the FPGA Refernce has not been binded. The issue was that the VIs need to be bound to the ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl control. This is an option on the popup menu when clicking on the Open FPGA VI Reference VI. In some cases, it may already be selected in the popup menu. In this case, unselect the Bind to Typedef option. For good measure, I usually selected the FPGA VI to use with the host VI, and then I reset the Bind to Typedef option. In most cases this should fix the ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl control mismatches throughout the VI. In some cases, I have to Save All, close the host VI and all subVIs. Then reopen the host VI. This has always working in all cases for me.

PCI Option For iMac

I own a professional recording studio. The studio and the software I use was purchased with a Mac in mind from the start. Unfortunately after spending far too much money on my mics, outboard gear, mixing console and the rest the bank was broke and a Mac capable of running the studio was not in the budget. I had always had a tower in mind because it always was dominant Mac and could be expanded. Also for one major reason, use PCI based plugins and my interface for recording needs a PCI slot to run as well. With the advances in Mac over the last couple years months the iMac could fit my needs far better than a tower, and with a 24" screen, it would be ideal for mixing. Are there PCI options out there for iMacs, such as something that would plug in via firewire or ethernet? Thought I's ask the experts.
thanks

I hate to disappoint you but iMacs are not designed for expansion. They do not have available PCI slots for third-party cards. For that you need a tower style Mac. You might consider something from the G4 or early G5 Power Mac tower lines such as the QuickSilver or Mirrored Drive Door G4s or one of the earlier G5 models that still have PCI slots. Later G5s have PCI-X slots. Because these are no longer in production they can be purchased used through eBay or some online retailers who vend used/refurbed older Macs.

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.

Searching for diploma thesis theme

Hi all,
I'm currently searching for a theme for my diploma thesis which will start in 10/2006.
I'm going to focus the topic in the ESA (or in general: SOA and web services) environment so any suggestions are welcome! The duration of my thesis is limited to 3-6 months so the suggestions should be realizable in this period. Maybe I could bring forward ESA development or solve a problem?!
My main development focus is ABAP Objects and Java - I'm working in SAP Environment since 2 1/2 years.
If your interested or have any questions about the procedure please don't hesitate to write me an e-mail (please use the e-mail address in my SDN Business Card).
Best regards
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
I have a very simlira situation, I'm looking for a theme for my thesis.
Same as you I plann to do it in 3 months, and I have a similar background in abap.
(big coincidence, isn't it?)
I'm not sure about ESA, the theme can be implement a solution? or a business process using web services?
integrate current web services?
I'd like to know if you already have a theme or some interesting options.
Gerald
