Problem with visa 3.2

Hi all,
We have a problem with an application (LV7.1 / WXP) which has to decode serial data from a smart actuator. This actuator sends 8 bytes of data @38400 bps every 3ms (which leaves about 1ms interval between these blocks of data). The application is working perfectly with VISA 2.60 but since we tried it with VISA 3.20, we are constantly getting framing and I/O errors.
We are sure that the problem is coming from VISA, as we ran the software on the same PC with 2.60 and 3.20. The errors come only with 3.20.
An application engineer of NI told us that these errors were not implemented in the 2.60 version and that's why they didn't show up. However, the data that were read by the software with 2.60 were absolutely consistent (no garbage) ! If we filter these errors out, many data are lost, so this is not a solution.
The problems come either in development mode or with an executable file.
Does anyone know about the origin of these framing errors ? The signal is clean, no noise and Hyperterminal does not seem to have problems with it.
If it can help, we can provide a NI-Spy capture file.
Thanks to anyone who can give us some advice on this topic !

Hi Kaustubh,
Yes, either a Spy capture or some specific error codes would be great to continue troubleshooting this issue. Without more specifics, it is hard to say what errors that VISA 3.2 is catching that 2.6 did not. Hopefully we can help you further once a spy capture is posted.
Alternatively, if VISA 3.2 does catch some errors that did not harm your original program, or even errors that your original program depended upon, you could always go back to the previous version and use that one. Just wanted to be sure you were aware of that option.

  • Problems with VISA and the serial port

    Hello,
    i have a little problem with the serial port and VISA. I have changed an existing LabView- Software in that way that I have replaced the serial- module by the VISA- module. The function of the program is to communicate with different devices by RS232. After changing the modules to VISA the software doesn't work probably. The problem is, that when I try to communicate with one of the devices first I get no answer. When I try it a second time after some seconds the communication works perfect. After about a minute I send another message to my device but there is no answer again. I have to send the message again.
    I hope someone in this forum can help me with my problem
    cu Marco

    Marco,
    this sounds very much like a problem with the termination of your messages. You may have to tell VISA to add a termination character. Please follow the instructions in this document.

  • "What u Hear" problem with vis

    I used to use the option "What U Hear" a lot when i sat in teamspeak/ventrilo, if i wanted to play of a song or something to my friends, then i just switched from Microphone to "what u hear" then the people would hear what i was playing.
    Anyway, i've tried this in vista, and so far i've not gotten it to work, so i wonder if anyone here has done it's and can explain to me how its done?
    The thing is, i first disable my mic, enable "what u hear", set it to default, the meter comes up showing sound, but when this is done, and i open teamspeak and join my friends servers, and i try to use my push to talk button to "play music/sound" nothing happends, i also sometimes get some sort of error with teamspeak when i have "what u hear" enabled too. So there is a problem somewhere here.
    Haven't tried in ventrilo yet, so may be a teamspeak problem as well.
    My soundcard is Creative X-FI Xtrememusic.
    Edit: Just got it to work, seems to be a slight problem with teamspeak.Message Edited by Nitrius on 03-7-200702:44 PM

    I dunno if you have tried it but in ventrilo if you go into setup you can chage the input device there to What u hear, I have use direct sound box unticked. Personally for me changing the input device in vista doesnt work that well with vent. Im not sure how TS works.Message Edited by Renegade87 on 03-7-200702:23 PM

  • Problems with VISA Aliases

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use VISA aliases to name RS-232 ports on the PXI rack. MAX can see the aliases without a problem but when I refer to them or try to use them in the labview program it cant find or use them. This is the second unit we have put together and the program works fine on the other unit.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?

  • Problem with visa RQS (always times out)

    I am trying to program a pair of Wavetek 39 waveform generators, which us GPIB.  I want to not fill up their input buffer by seending commands too fast, so I want to know when it is done with one before sending the next one.  The way I should do this it seems, is to use the service request event.  Unforunately, I can't get that working. 
    I've slightly modified the SRQ event example (just modified the instrument instruction string to match my instrument) and attaced that.  Unfortunately, when I run that, no service request is generated, or at least the "wait for RQS" vi doesn't pick up on them, so it always times out, even thought the instruction ("WAVE SINE", which just selects a sine wave for output) is definately finfished. 
    Any ideas why this isn't working, or othe methods I might use to make sure I don't send instructions too fast (besides just adding arbtrary waits. .  that would be dumb)?

    SRQ Event Handling.vi ‏42 KB

    yes I've seen that tutorial.  It is, as far as I can tell, very similar to the example code in SRQ Event Handling.vi.  Unfortunately I still get timeouts when I try using " *OPC? " instead of " *OPC " so either I'm doing something wrong (and not understanding how it's supposed to work), or my GPIB device is simply not generating the service request as it should.

  • Memory leak with Visa Close in loop

    I read the other posts about the memory leak problems with Visa Close, but eliminating the Visa Close from VI causes problems with read & write (it seems to go out of sync). Any suggestions? Example attached.

    Solved the problem. I had to change the bit count and adjust sort. Removing the Visa Close did eliminate the memory leak.

  • Problem on WinXP / Labview 6.1 with VISA (serial port)

    There is a problem on WinXP / Labview 6.1 with VISA which i use to poll the state lines of the serial port. The only functions that i use are "VISA Open", "Find Resource", line state properties and "VISA close".
    On my own machine (WinME) it works fine as a standalone application (with runtime engine in the same direction), even if i rename the Labview directory so that Labview is not found.
    From my VXIpnp directory i deleted all but these files:
    directory "Win95",
    subdirectory "Bin" containing "NiViAsrl.dll",
    subdirectory "NIvisa" containing "visaconf.dll".
    When shipping this to WinXP (and copying "VXIpnp" to the root directory), the serial port was not found, so i renamed the direction "Win95" to "
    WinNT", but this did not work also.
    I installed the VISA server, although it seems not to be required -- no result.
    Final question:
    What must i do for distributing the program as a standalone application for all windows platforms?

    Hey Joachim,
    In order to create an installer that includes the VISA Run-time engine for serial IO you will have to purchase LabVIEW 7.x. See screen shot. This packages a small compact version of the run-time that can only be used for serial, but it takes up much less space. The installer that I created has my application, the LV Run-time, and the VISA run-time and it is about 26 MB.
    That is much smaller than if I had to include the 32 MB LV 7.1 run-time and the 14 MB VISA run-time separately. It would have been even smaller if I would have uncheck some of the items that I wasn't using.

  • I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

    I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

    There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS.  I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
    I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple.  Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
    Wait a few hours and then try again.

  • Can't download anything from app store or itunes. everytime i try to install an app i get "there is abilling problem with a previous purchase. please update ur payment method". i have recently changed my address and visa debit card. please help

    can't download anything from app store or itunes. everytime i try to install an app i get this error "there is a billing problem with a previous purchase. please update ur payment method". i have recently changed my visa debit card and home adress and when i make these changes i still get the same error.
    will u please help me out?

    Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.
