Problem with DAQmx Physical Channel control

Dear LabVIEW community!
I have installed LabVIEW, v13.0f02, 32-bit on my PC. The problem, which I face, is that DAQmx Physical Channel controls, which are used in VIs inside the LV projects, sometimes don't show me the list of DAQ devices - I can't expand the list at all. I push the button to expand the list, but nothing helps.
But when I create VIs outside the project, and put there DAQmx Physical Channel control - everything works well.
Note: devices are simulated via MAX.
Is it some kind of bug in 2013 vesrion of LabVIEW? Because while using LV 2012 I didn't have such headache.
The only thing that helps now - is to restart PC (laptop) several times; b/c restart of LV doesn't help.
Can anyone suggest, what it can be, and how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you for your answer!
The point is, that this bug is independent from the code. DAQmx Physical Channel controls don't work even when I'm trying to use NI examples - for instance, Strain - Continuous Input.vi; Voltage - Continuous Input.vi, etc.
I have such simulated via MAX devices: NI USB-9213, NI USB-9201, NI cDAQ-9172 with NI 9217, and 4 NI PXIe-4331 modules.
Also, what I have noticed - front panel doesn't visualized fully (I send you the screenshot). When I'm moving mouse pointer over it, those part, which were under the mouse pointer, became clearly seen. And when I minimize, and then restor FP, it becomes fully clear visible.
And also, this story happens when LV project is open. If I close opened projects, and open only single VIs, everything works smooth.
Thank you very much, I hope, that this information will be useful to solve this problem.

How to get intimation about DAQmx Physical Channel invalid value encounter

Can anybody tell me that if a DAQmx Control gets value from a configuration file( .ini file ) and the value is invalid (does not exist in the available physical channels list) than how I can be programatically intimated. I couldn't find any property node of DAQmx Physical channel Control which tells about that the current value feeded to the control is invalid.

Thanks Alan, I have got a better soloution from you in another thread launched by me with title "How to get "Browse list of any DAQmx control in array form". In which u suggested of using DAQmx 8.0, which I have downloaded and used the property node DAQmx-Device>>DO.Lines to get an array of all Physical channels(DO category) of all devices. The value taken from that configuration file is searched in Physical channels array and if no match found than the value is invalid.

Filter the pull down menu of physical channels control

Hello all,
I need help, I'm desperate!
I'm trying to create a software recording data from an accelerometer by using a NI USB-9234 device. So in order to do that, I linked a physical channels control to DAQmx create channel. The thing is, I want to display in the pull down menu, only the physical channels attached to the NI device specified above. And besides, I'd like this to be done automaticaly, meaning that no matter what is the name of the device (dev1, dev2, dev3...), the pull down menu will display the four physical channels attached to the specified device.
Am I clear ?
I know that by right-clicking on the physical channels control, I can filter it but I can't manage to figure it out how to filter by specifiying a device. Maybe by using property nodes...I don't know.
If somebody has a solution, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot

You can configure IO Name Filtering by choosing the following option in the context menu:
But you cannot select a certain device type there, but only certain device names (which is a huge difference).
So the easiest way to accomplish your task is to define a name for your USB-9234 (like MyDevice) and then limit the selection to "MyDevice".
You have to make sure, that each PC using the application as aware of "MyDevice". This setting is done in MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) and can be distributed with your application using the Application Builder (or manual export/import within MAX).
hope this helps,

Problem with DAQMX on a 6025E !!

Problem with DAQMX on a 6025E
I work on a DAQ 6025E and I can't use the example "Write Dig Port.vi" and all others example on digital output with DAQMX. There isn't any hardware failure because the same installation functions correctly with the traditional DAQ. I want to use these channel parameters: Dev1/port2.
I already tested to make a reset device and use "line or port configuring vi" but without successes.
Thanks for your help!

I took a look at the example you attached and it looks fine. Here are a few things to try out BEFORE running the example from MAX:
1) Remove any SCXI, SCC, and accessories from the configuration in MAX so that no DIO lines are reserved for communication.
2) Reset the driver to work in DAQmx mode for your board. To do this, first right-click the "Traditional DAQ Devices" and say "Reset Driver" and then right-click your 6025E under DAQmx Devices and say "Reset Driver" again. This should enable the driver for DAQmx.
3) In MAX, under DAQmx Devices, run the test panel and make sure you can read/write all the DIO lines there first. If that works fine you should be able to run the example.
Remember that the port names for the 6025E are Port 0, Port 2, Port
3, and Port 4 (no Port 1).
Good Luck!!!

DAQmx physical channel constant error

Hi all,
I am trying to get the labview 10.0 working in opensuse 11.4. I installed the components and all of them seem to be working fine.
The PCI card is also detected by labview. When I tpe lsdaq on the command line. I get the following output
Detecting National Instruments DAQ Devices
Found the following DAQ Devices:
NI 6025E: "Dev1" (PXI8::15::INSTR)
But when entering "Dev1/ai1" or "Dev1/ai0:3" in the DAQmx physical channel constant I get an error saying invalid channel name. How do I get rid of this error?

Go to Solution.

Hey Justin,
Thanks for your reply.
I am working with labview 10.0.
I installed DAQmx 8.0.2 but it did not help. DAQmx is not ideally meant for labview 10.0 and probably that is the reason why it does not work.
The installation also does not seem to go smoothly since it looks for support files from labview 8.6 and previous version which do not exist. I have attached the messages after installation of DAQmx.
Let me know if you find some way out.
Thanks,
Chiran

Get physical channels control into separate strings

Hi,
I have a physical channel control with "Dev1/ai0:1" and I wish to separate this to two strings or two channel controls, for instance, turn this Dev1/ai0:1 into this Dev1/ai0 and this Dev1/ai1 programaticaly.
Thanks.

Problem with DAQmx and Real Time PCI-7041/6040E.

Problem with DAQmx and Real Time PCI-7041/6040E.
I have a problem with the Real Time card PCI-7041/6040E, I think it is properly installed because my software run with the traditional NI-DAQ. When I try to use the new DAQmx to acquire one signal, Labview doesn't see any device for de DAQ card 6040E.
Information, I work on Windows XP and LabView v7.0.0 (NIDAQ RT v7.0.0, NI-Serial RT v2.5.2, NI-VISA v3.0.1 and NI-Watchdog v2.0.0).
Could Labview RT run with new DAQmx ?
What can I do to use DAQmx with PCI-7041/6040E?
Thanks for your help !

Hello,
I refer to your posts because i am using the PCI 7041/6040E card as
well but without any success to make it work. The problem I have
already described in the following thread:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=120198
Would be nice if you had a look on it, maybe you can help me. BTW, the

encountered are to be found a little bit to the bottom of the thread's

DAQmx physical channel to string

Hi Labview forum,
I have a variable DAQmx physical channel variable.
I would like to write the physical channel used to a file.
Is there a way to convert the physical channel selected to a string for writing to file?
Or to access a property node which stores the channel name in string format?
Regards,
Jamie

I am not sure how to use "Scan from String" for these unique data types. Where can I find the format codes for physical channels and enums. I guess ENUM is U32 or something like that but I have no idea what a physical channel is.
You have to use the Scan From String to convert your string to the enum. But as Dennis said, just wire your string straight into the Physical Channel input.

DAQmx physical channel error message

Hi,
I am new to Labview but I managed to create a new analogue voltage input task in Measurement and Automation Explorer. I am using DAQmx create virtual channel VI but I am getting an error message saying that "required input physical channel is not wired". Any idea why I am getting this error message. Also what is the difference between using DAQmx Assistant and using VI's like DAQmx create virtual channel, DAQmx timing etc.Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The first VI 'Create Virtual Cannel' has an input called physical channel. This needs an input. Right click on the terminal and select Create>Constant. Then you can select the channel (something like Dev1/ai0).
To your 2nd Q: The assistant is a fast way to configure your measurement. You can later also convert it to the VIs you use now. Using the VIs gives you full programmatically control of the task. (The meaningful phrases are 'configure' and 'full programmatically').

Specify DAQmx physical channels

Hello,
Im trying to specify multiple physical channels with DAQmx driver..Could anyone help me in figuring this out?
Thanks

Have a look at this

Error code -88708 with DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic)

Hi,
I am trying to construct a VI that moves a piezoelectric stage, the VI then needs to scan voltages from the DAQ card to build up arrays of the voltage and coordinates before constructing a 3D graph.
The VI successfully moves the stage and reads the position back to me but when it tries to scan voltages from the DAQ it fails (I'm using the DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi example, as this has been used in a previous, similar (and successful) VI within my department.)
I get the following error code:
Error -88708 occurred at DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi
Possible reason(s):
The specified resource is not available. The operation could not be completed as specified.
Task Name: _unnamedTask<1>
Any help on this would be appreciated - I'm fairly new to LabView and am at a loss with how to fix this!
Thanks
-Tom

Is this working when you restart the computer? It might be that the recources are still recerved because the Clear Task.vi wasn't executed (either it`s not present or you did use the abort button).

Problem with building web service control

Hi i am using a web service control for invoking a web service. the application builds correctly from workshop and i am able to talk to web service. However, when i exported the ant build file from workshop and tried to build the application from prompt using ant, it gives me follwoing wrror -
[wlwBuild] [Build] Errors found in D:\crmwork\weboss\esb\ESBPrj\com\covad\esb\controls\BillingServiceSBControl.jcx:
[wlwBuild] [Build] Error at line 9 column 18:

[wlwBuild] [Build] Error at line 9 column 18:
Has anybody encountered this error? What could be the problem cause the workshop build works fine.

I solved the problem :-)
it happened due to JAVA_HOME env var. It has to point to jdk that comes along with wl812. mine was pointing to sun jdk 1.4.2. However, this is a bug, because, for wlwlbuild task , i was setting the proper bea java home, still it was failing due to system java_home var. And i did not face this problem with WL813. After facing lot of issues with 812, now i feel, 812 is not a stable production version.
Anyways, now the prob;em is solved.

Audio Problems with some HD channels (HBO mostly)

I'm experiencing sporadic audio problems with a handful of HD channels. Most noticably on HBO.
When the audio is output through the television itself, it sounds OK... however if the audio is output through my home theater receiver and speakers, I can hear a lot of static and "crackling" on certain movies and shows.
The issue isn't the home theater setup, as I have several other components that use it (AppleTV, Bluray, Xbox, etc.) and the audio sounds perfect from them.
The only device that displays that poor audio is the FiOS Set Top Box and even then it's only on a few channels.
I thought maybe that the optical audio cable between the set top box and the receiver may have been bad, so I replaced that. Same problem even with the new cable.
The problem is either with the Set Top Box itself or the audio levels on the stream from the channel provider.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this, and if so... did you resolve it somehow?
Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Actually with GridControl_11.1.0.1.0_Linux_x86-64_2of3.zip (1,589,671,704 bytes) (cksum - 535544209)
I successfully downloaded all archives but cksum for this file (...2of3...) is invalid.
Even it is invalid I tried to install. Installation starts ok, but it breaks after few moments.

Here is cksum from file that I downloaded 3966614633 and on download page is 535544209.
It's obvious that something is wrong!
Oracle personal should fix this issue.
Anyhow, there is another way... Download from different location. See this thread:

Reservation problem with DAQmx

Hi there,
I'm using LV 8.5.1 and a NI USB-6210 Device. In a small app I want to generate two dig. signals, configured in one task. After configuration the task an error occures at "DAQmx Start Task.vi" with error code 50103 Device is reservated, can't go on (translated from used language). On this PC, there's only this USB device in use and only this small app is running.
So my question, how can I find out which app is reservating my device (in LV) and/or can I force to reservate my app for this device?
thx in advance

Hi Dennis,
thanks for your reply. I started to examine my app step by step. Know I know, the error occurs when I set more than one samples per channel in "DAQ MAX Timing (implicit).vi"
I use this app to control startup-conditions on power supplies, just for info.
