PCI 6733 self-test

I installed DAQ cards PCI 4472 and PCI 6733 in the same machine.
4472 works fine. But 6733 shows this message:
" Error 200020 - occured at self test".
I have installed NI DAQmx 7.3.
My computer in which both the cards are installed is a
Dell Precision 360, P4, 2.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM, with Windows XP.
I tried to install 6733 in two other computers. It passed the self test in both of them.
One of the machines had Windows 2000 and other had Windows XP(configuration similar to mine).
So there seems to be no problem with the card. I formatted my machine
and tried to install the card again. Even then, I get the same error
message. There is no resource conflict with Windows.
I removed 4472 from the slot and checked with just 6733 on the machine.
I also tried it in all the PCI slots. That doesn't seem to be useful
either. What could be the problem?
Can I use the card even if it doesnot pass the self test?
RVR

RVR,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
Have you tried reproducing this problem with the latest NI-DAQmx drivers (7.5)? Are you able to use the card even though it fails the self test?
It is possible that your system is not supplying the necessary 3.3 V and 5 V supply from the PCI bus. This can be especially true when using industrial PCI or expansion PCI chassis. Verify that your computer's motherboard has a 3.3 V supply for the PCI bus before proceeding with other troubleshooting. Visit Appendix A of the NI 671X/673X User Manual for more information.

PCI-6220 Self Test 数采卡自检测

我使用pci-6220数采卡。我用vc++编程，想咨询以下问题：
1、是否有自检测函数？
2、在采集过程中，运行自检测函数是否会影响？
3、如果采集频率或电压失败，是否有函数可以直接判断？

您好
1 可以使用“DAQmxSelfTestDevice”这个函数
2 会影响，建议在采集结束之前做一次自检即可
3 采集失败是什么意思？如果是板卡自身的原因，自动会有DAQmx错误爆出的

PCI-MI0-16XE-50 Failing Self-test

I am using a PCI-MI0-16XE-50 which is failing the self-test in MAX 3.1.1.3004. I have used the E Series Diagnostic Utility which gives the error "Error 10809 occurred at cwdaq: Starting DAQ operation Attempted to start a pulse width measurement with the pulse in the phase to be measured (e.g., high phase for high-level gating)." Windows XP detects the device fine, as does MAX. The obvious answer is that the device is broken, but is it feasible or economical to have the device repaired? What tends to cause this type of problem and/or how can it be corrected?
Thanks,
Brandon

Hello C.
You will need to contact National Instruments for a quote for repairing
you board. If you bought less than a year ago, it may still be under
warranty in which case it would not cost you anything to repair.
However, I would suggest in case you need to pay for repair to consider
getting one of the new improved and more performent yet low cost M Series devices.
Hope this helps.

PCI-6221 fails self-test in MAX but device manager says it's working

Hi everyone,
I bought a few PCI-6221 (37-pin) data acquisition cards and have been able to get one to work but 3 others don't work.
Device Manager sees them and says they work. MAX sees them and when I run Self Test, they fail with error number
-50002. Motherboards in non-working systems are PC Chips M957G and P25G. OS is Windows XP Pro with SP2.
I already tried uninstalling SW and the board, reinstalling SW and the
board...autodetect etc works fine. I even reformatted
the HD on one of the computers and reinstalled the OS. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Halden
[email protected]

Thanks Tom for your suggestion to try NI-DAQ 8.0. I just saw it today. Yesterday,
I was able to isolate 3 PCI-6221-37 boards as defective because they all wouldn't work in another computer while
one other identical model card did work in that same computer. I called to arrange to return them to NI and learned
that for these 3, I needed NI-DAQ 8.0. The fourth one was okay
with NI-DAQ 7.5. Apparently, this was a known problem.
I wish NI would have simply notified me that my boards would
not work with the software sent with them and sent the NIDAQ 8.0 CD as soon as they knew rather than have me
waste a day of my engineering time trying to figure it all out. Booo NI.
One of the boards has worked for almost a day under NIDAQ 8.0. I was able to make some progress on the
system I am building. But then it stopped working. LabVIEW
(version 7.0 executable) programs would not open completely
or would open slowly. One that accessed the COM port only (no
data acquisition) did work. MAX opened very slowly or not at all
and when I click on
Devices and Interfaces, the hourglass is up for a long time and finally the + icon goes away indicating that MAX is not
aware of any devices being present. The Windows Device Manager says the board is present and working. Windows
Task Manager lists LabVIEW Runtime and MAX when only MAX is open and indicates that MAX is Not Responding.
I shut down the computer, removed the PCI-6221 board, booted it up again, and MAX is the same way. I uninstalled
MAX and NI-DAQ LabVIEW 7.0 support and then reinstalled them.
Now the MAX loading window is up for more than a minute and NIMAX.exe is listed in Task Manager's processes. After
the first minute, LabVIEW Runtime appears in the Task Manager's
Applications list. After a while longer, the MAX window finally
opens
and MAX is listed in the Applications. I click on the + icon by Devices and Interfaces in MAX and the hourglass appears
and Windows Task Manager says MAX is Not Responding. Eventually, the + icon and the hourglass go away and
the Task Manager lists LabVIEW Runtime and MAX as Running.
I shut the computer off for several minutes, started it up again, and MAX is still takes a long, long time to open.
I haven't put the PCI-6221 card back in because MAX still isn't working.
What do you suggest I do next?
Thanks
Halden

How to fix error -50010 in MAX 4.0 self-test of PCI-6221-37?

Hello Tom or anyone who could help
This is a continuation of my previously posted problems getting my PCI-6221-37
card to work.
I reformatted the hard disk and reinstalled Windows XP Pro on the computer. Then
I re-installed NIDAQ 8.0 with LabVIEW 7.0, 7.1, and 8.0 support. Now MAX
opens in a reasonable period of time and recognizes the PCI-6221-37 card. When I
run the self-test option, it replies with an error -50010. "The specified offset is out of
range for read operations. The operation could not be completed as specified"
Any ideas?
Halden

Hi Halden-
Let's continue our discussion here. I am in contact with our software engineers to help diagnose this problem. If you could provide a screenshot of the error in the other thread, it would be a huge help. Thanks a lot-

PCI 6224 error code -88302 during self test

Hello,
I'm having a problem with self testing my PCI 6224 board in my computer. I am able to run 2 different boards successfully on 2 different computers, but this computer is seeming to give me troubles.
When I open NI MAX to run self test, it gives me an error code -88302 and says issue with connection. I tried unplugging the DAQ to my circuit and running the self test again but got the same error.
How can I further trouble shoot this problem to take my next steps to resolving this?
Thanks,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah, at this point it does sound like a software problem on this particular compute - most likely an issue with DAQmx. What version of DAQmx do you currently have installed? When you were trying the first troubleshooting steps I recommended, did you just repair DAQmx, or did you upgrade to the latest version of the driver? If you just repaired your existing installation, you can try upgrading to DAQmx 9.8 instead. You can download DAQmx 9.8 from the link below.
NI-DAQmx 9.8
http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-9.8/4297/en/
You can also try resetting the MAX configuration data. While it is rare for it to happen, the MAX configuration database can become corrupted, which can cause sytem issue like you're seeing. Follow the steps in the document below to reset the configuration data.
What is the Process for Resetting the MAX Database?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2C7480E856987FFF862573AE005AB0D9
At this point it's probably just a matter of pinpointing which piece of software is malfunctioning/corrupted and repairing/reinstalling it. You can continue trying to do that for this machine, or, if you do have another working machine available, you could switch to that computer - whichever is more convenient for you.

Platform services PCI 6733

Bonjour,
Après avoir installé un carte PCI 6733,sous Measurement and Automation, je peux faire l'auto test de la carte (résultat OK), je peux accéder au panneau de test et l'utiliser avec succès, je peux créer une tache type génération de tension sur l'une des voies disponibles, mais dès que je veux l'utiliser en cliquant sur le bouton exécuter cela me renvoi l'erreur -50400, NI platform services : le transfert n'a pas pu être achevé dans la période de timeout ou le nombre spécifié de tentatives. je précise que je n'ai modifié à ce stade aucun des paramètres fixés par défaut lors de la création de la tache. Le problème reste le même lorsque je cherche à utiliser l'un des exemples fournis avec labview. Je pense à un problème d'installation. Je suis sous seven pro 64 bits, et j'ai testé avec le NIDAQ9.0.2 fournit sur le cd de la carte, avec la version 9.1.7 et 9.2.2.
Comment trouver l'origine de mon problème qui doit être du à une mauvaise utilisation de ma part (pour info, je n'ai jamais eu de soucis avec XP SP2 et la version 4.4.1f0 de measure and automation).
Merci pour vos éclairement ou suggestion de test.

Self Test Error -50002, The specified device is not a valid device.

I'm just an IT guy that knows nothing about Labview or DAQ cards that has been given the task of setting up a lab.
System is Dell GX280 with Windows XP SP-2. The DAQ card being used is a NI PCI-6251. The software used is Labview 7.11 and NI-DAQ 7.4.
Labview loads the professor's VI files as expected but when you start the vi it returns the following error.
Error -200157 occurred at the Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI:AI Group Config.vi-> DAQmx Create Channel(AT-Voltage-Basic).vi
Also when you enter the Measurement and Automation application and browse to the device and execute a self-test it returns the following error.
Error -50002 occurred at Self Test
Possible Reason(s):
The specified device is not a valid device. The Operation could be completed as specified.
My question is are these errors because there are no devices connected to the DAQ? The professor claims that if nothing is connected it should still function properly. So now I'm trying to figure out what is wrong and the professor is not the friendliest in the world. I have tried reinstalling Labview and NI-Daq several times now and no luck using two separate computers. I would appreciate any assistance.

Hi Rice IT,
Since you are new to using this whole DAQ thing, then I'll start with just the basics.
Make sure you have no NI Devices in your computer (if you do, remove them then begin).
Install LabVIEW.
Install the latest DAQ drivers for your system (for you it's NI-DAQmx Version 7.5 for Windows 2000/NT/XP).
Power down the computer and insert your DAQ board.
When Windows boots you should see the New Device Wizard. Have it search for and install the drivers.
Open Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to test the device (Start > All Programs > National Instruments)
Go to My System > Devices and Interfaces > NI-DAQmx Devices, you should see your DAQ device.
Right-click on your device and click Self-Test. If the device passes it should be ready to use
If that causes an error right-click on the device and Reset Device.
Redo Step 8 and perform a Self-Test of the device
If the Self-Test still does not work, then the board could be
broken. Try to place the board in a different PCI slot, if other
boards are available then try to use a known working board in your
system. If you still have trouble contact Technical Support.
Now your device should be working. You can try to run a Test Panel and look at how your device performs.
You could also right click on Data Neighborhood in MAX and
Create New... DAQmx Task and try to make a more customized measurement.
Finally you can open an example in LabVIEW
Open LabVIEW > Open > Examples (or Help > Find
Examples) > Browse > Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx.
Choose an example that is similar to what type of operation you are
trying to perform.
Typically you will want to start with an example and then
build up from there. If not, then you will want to take a look at
this KB
If you run into any problems, first read thru what the error message is
and where it occurs. If that can't help you isolate the error,
then try searching ni.com for more information. If you can't find
anything there, then check the forums to see if somebody else has had a
similar fate. Finally if you cannot find any more information
contact NI's Technical Support.
Here are a few more resources that might help you with some of the basics:

Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Solve 80% of
Data Acquisition Applications

I hope you are able to get a better bearing of where you need to go from this information.

6602 self test erreur -200020

Hello
I have a PCI-6602 in my PC. No problem during the installation. In MAX4.0, I try the autotest and I've this error message : "erreur -200020 during Self Test"
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the card, same error message.
When I try to count pulse, I've always the same result (4294967295)
I've another card (PCI-6221) in the same PC and everything is allwright.
Somebody could help me?
Thanks!
My config : Labview7.1 / WindowsXPpro / DAQmx8.0 / Trad 7.4.1
cards : PCI-6221 / PCI-6602

Hi,
I've the same problem when the card is alone. I desinstalled the other card PCI6221, reboot the PC without the PCI6221 and same error message when I try to autotest it. Like before, no problem for the reinitialisation, it's the autotest which didn't pass.
I've install the pci6602 in another PC with Labview7.1 and the problem is exactly the same : installation OK, reinitialisation OK, autotest = "erreur -200020 during Self Test"
I've the serial number of the card : 184479C-01 but today, I don't know exactly the date we bought this card (in 2002-2003 if I remember...)
Thank you for your help

PCI-4472 self calibration error under MAX

Hi,
Our PCI-4472 appeared to have offsets on the order of several hundred microvolts, so I tried a self calibration under MAX (version 4.1.0.3001) to try to reduce them. The self calibration gave me the error message:
"Measurement taken during calibration produced an invalid AI gain calibration constant."
Does anyone know where I can find troubleshooting information for this issue, or have any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks,

I am posting this for an applications engineer, intended for this to post last in a linear fashion ~
I have attached screen grabs of the self test and calibration panels.
When running the "self-test" panels within MAX, all tests pass.
I performed the tests after hitting "reset" in MAX.
Current versions of software installed: Labview Full Dev 8.2., and Max 8.5.
All upgrades have been applied.
Ai1 is setup to measure a voltage differential of 1-5 VDC based upon a "differential" input
across a precision resistor. I have setup custom scale, 1V = -40`C 5V = +180`C.
I have tried setting sample rates of: 3 @3Hz, 10@60Hz, 100 @600Hz, etc...
As I run the self test, and it's the same when I launch Labview and work within a VI, I see
the wave output with what looks like a square wave. I have put a scope on the wire pair
and do see steady voltage levels. Sensor has a current loop supplying external excitation.
Sensor output passes thru a linearization circuit operating at 60Hz.
In the 3rd image I captured Ai0 which is similarly setup in "differential" 1-5VDC input to scaled output.
You can see the graph image captures the trailing signal just like on Ai1 analog channel.
I have verified from Omega that the sensor is wired correctly supplying current loop,
and also taken the wires and "twisted" the pairs for less EMI/RFI crosstalk/noise.
The sensor and it's power supply are brand new purchased directly from Omega.
I am planning to send this to a local vendor for calibration, SE Labs in Santa Clara, but if it's
a matter of the boards circuitry being damaged than it needs repair. I started here about
3 months ago and after asking around found the PCI-6250 DAQmx board was available.
Problem is I don't know the history, besides the 2 year calibration expiring Nov of 2006.
The 1 thing I have not tried is moving the PCI to another slot, but FYI I have just this week
moved the PCI card over to another workstation that exceeds minimum hdw requirements.
This card was installed in a Pentium III @848MHz workstation with 424MB of ram.
Facts are the graph output of both channels look exactly the same in either pc.
The previous user was an engineer, whom may have exceeded voltages/parameters
on the analog and/or digital inputs. Thank you again for your knowledgeable replies!

Using 653x self-test example VI from NI web-site

Hello-
I am trying to do a self-test on my PCI-6534 by connecting group 1 (ports 0,1utput) to group2 (ports 2,3:Input) and the appropriate control lines. I downloaded an example code from NI which I have attached below. For some reason it is not working properly. The Digital Read VI does not seem to be reading in the data from the buffer, but that could just mean that the buffer control on the input lines is not working properly and there is not actually anything in the buffer. If I don't make the program continuous by inputting a '0' for the Number of updates input on the Buffer Control VI, then the program works fine and the expected inputs are read in by the input group at 20 MHz. How come when I try to
use the program the way it is written and run it continuosly the board doe snot seem to be working properly? Thanks.

Hi Blarivee,
I am currently using a DAQCard-6533 board which is very similar to the 6534 (doesn't have the deep memory and uses interrupts instead of DMA for transfer). All I did was change the "Transfer Method" to Pattern I/O, and reduced the clock frequency and buffer size to 1000 (because I am using interrupts and no onboard memory). I then connected REQ1 to REQ2, DIOA[0:7] to DIOC[0:7] and DIOB[0:7] to DIOD[0:7]. Everything ran well at that point.
I've also been able to use this example on a 6534 but I haven't tried it lately. If you are going to perform I/O on all 4 ports, try using a maximum transfer rate of 5MHz. It could be that your system and bus bandwidth are causing errors to occur. Here is a knowledge base that discusses some of the trans
fer rates (one way). I just assumed that performing input or output didn't affect the bandwidth.

To check ink levels I am told to print self test. page from cpu or printer.

There is no way to print a test page on my" psc 2410 all in one" connected to a HP cpu with Win 7, 64 bit. Is there a workaround/

The page here shows how to print a self-test report from the front panel, but it does not appear to have ink level information. I have not used a PSC 2410 for years, but the following may give you what you need: press the # and * buttons together on the printer. The screen will say "Enter special key combination". Press 1 2 3. This should bring up a service menu. Use the right arrow button repeatedly to bring up a "Special Reports" screen, OK, then right arrow to select "Cartridges" or some similar, then press OK. A page will print with ink level information shown about the middle of the page.

Software Updates for Remote PXI System/DAQ-mx Self Test

1) In MAX, I'm attempting to run the Labview Realtime Software Installation Wizard. When I select the software for install, I get an error "Cannot Process Install because other Dependencies are required: Labview RT 7.1.1". What should I do to correct the problem? I'm trying to update both DAQMx and Traditional DAQ from 7.2 to 7.3. The wizard actually indicates that the remote system only has 7.2, and that it sees that 7.3 is available.
2) Also in MAX in the Remote System Tree, I get an error when trying to perform a self test on my PXI-6025 card, or when I attempt to reset it. The error code is 88705. I noticed on another post that there might be the need to perform a repair of the installation. This was done for both DAQMx and Tranditional DAQ, neither of which fixed the problem.
3) In MAX I have used the Tools>>Traditional NI-DAQ Configuration>>Remote DAQ Configuration to configure my PXI-6025 DAQ channels, accessory, device #, etc. I then proceed to run a Analog Input VI on the remote system by correctly targeting it and selecting i.e. channel 0. No errors occur. However when I try and select "Browse" under the channel control, the "Select Names" window pops up empty. I would assume that this window would pop up with the DAQ channel names assigned during the channel configuration of the PX-6025??? Whats missing here?
Thanks
Pete.

Hi Pete,
I'm assuming you are using LabVIEW RT 7.1, since that is a requirement for using DAQmx. Here are my responses for your three issues:
1) You are correct in assuming you can upgrade the DAQ drivers in the manner you outlined, normally that works fine. However, as the following KnowledgeBase points out, the list of dependencies vary for different installs.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/F5D80FBE806B4B9D86256F0F005630CF?OpenDocument
Do you have LabVIEW RT 7.1.1 installed, which appears to be the required dependency? If not, you may download this from ni.com>>Drivers and Updates
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/MainPage?ReadForm&node=132010_US
If so, but the problem persists, please post all versions of your software so I can determine where the incompatibility lies.
2) After we take care of upgrading the DAQ drivers, let's see if the 88705 error goes away, it might take care of it.
3) Again, all the steps you described are correct. It might be that all these problems are related and due to a bad install of NI-DAQ.
When a number of software issues like this arise all at once, it might be best to just re-format the controller and perform a fresh install of everything. Often times that will correct the erroneous behavior.

Jeff M.

Ipod nano starts with a self-test after sleep

My new Ipod nano runs a kind of self-test if it was at sleep for a couple of hours.
Does this have to be? If not how can I determine specifically what is wrong? Thanks

Gert,
When iPods are not used for a period of 24 hours of more then they go into something called "Sleep Mode" or "Deep Sleep".
You'll see the Apple logo when you try to turn your Nano back on which is normal, you are "waking up" the iPod.
I've never heard or seen of such self-test, is it still on self-test? Or you want suggestions on how to get out of that?

Hard Drive failed both postive read and smart short self test

Hello, my Lenovo Think Pad's Hard Drive failed both targeted read test (error code WHD20-HJF) and the smart self test (error code WHD16-KPY). I admit that I'm an older user and I have no idea what this means and what is the possible fix for it.
I am open to all suggestions;
THANKS,
Octavious ONeal

Hi, Octavious
When the hard drive fails those tests, it's an indication that the drive is dying. It's recommended to back up any valuble data on the hard drive and then replace it soon. The drive may still work for a little while, but it will likely stop working sometime soon.
Hope it helps,
Adam
