PXI-1000B MXI-3 problems

my PXi 6071E cards does not get detected in slots 3 and 4 whereas the modules are getting detected in 5. previously all the modules where getting detected from 3.since i am using a MXI 3 interface. can anyone help me.

Suresh,
The MXI-3 extender is just a PCI-PCI bridge, so it should not affect any of the slots in your PXI-1000B chassis.
It would be good to try different MXI-3 boards, if you have more. Also you could try install other PXI boards (other than the PXI-6071E board) in slots 3 and 4.
If after doing this the board in slots 3 and 4 are still not being detected, there is a possiblity that the PXI-1000B chassis is damaged. In this case you will need to contact NI support (1-800-433-3488) to do further troubleshooting.

  • PXI-8320 MXI-2 software/h​ardware install problems.

    Attempting to install a PXI-8320 MXI-2 bridge. My PXI chassis is connected to a PC via a PCI-PXI MXI-3 bridge. I have just received a new PC running Windows XP with Labview 7.1. I cannot find the MXI-2 interface in Measurement Explorer. I do get a find new hardware for the PXI board, but it cannot install a driver. As far as I know, all of the appropriate software was pre-installed. I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you installed NI-VXI? The MXI-2 interface requires our VXI driver, NI-VXI, which is not automatically installed with LabVIEW. The latest version is available on our web site at http://www.ni.com/support/vxi/drivers.htm.

  • PXI-1000B randomly reboots

    I'm currently using a PXI-1000B chassis with a PCI-8156B Controller running Win 2k.I have 5 PXI modules installed.THe problem
    is that the machine randomly reboots(restarts) itself.I  currently am using the 150 watt supply I noticed that the max current on this
    supply is 10 amps @ 3.3 vdc, my current requirement is 8.5 amps.Is it possible that the supply current could vary maybe below my
    required 8.5 amps? Is it easy to monitor the DC voltages on this power supply? Is it the Controller and its relationship to the OS?
    PS
    I've already replaced the chassis and power supply once (died)

    Hi,
    I think it would help if we could get a crash dump from windows to help us determine what is causing the crashes.  You can set your OS to automatically restart
    when it randomly reboots.  If you could then get a kernal memory dump from Windows, this might help us determine what is actually causing the reboots.
    Thanks!

  • PXI 1000B rack through 1500 power cable at 220v 50 Hz

    We Have a PXI rack with 8176RT and NI4472 that is connected to a Electric supply through a 1500m power cable. The supply is of 220volts, 50 Hz and load of the computer is about 500 watts. When we supply the computer through this cable, computer donot work, but with a small 2m, cable it works perfect. specification for the cable are diameter 0.8mm, material copper, resistance of cable is 112 ohms. We cannot change the cable as it is hybrid fiber optic + electric. Can anybody please help me how I can supply power to computer through this cable

    Hi Sherrr,
    As an example, let's assume you didn't have a load connected to your cable, and that you shorted the leads at one end together. In this case, the resistance between the leads at the other end will be the same as the resistance of the cable which is 112 ohms. According to Ohm's Law, V=IR. According to the definition of power, P=IV. If we put those together, we get that P=(V^2)/R. The voltage is 240 volts and the resistance is 112 Ohms, so the power consumed by your cable is about 514 Watts. Adding the 500 Watts that your computer needs, we end up with total power around 1000 Watts. This is too much power to try to squeeze through a 0.8 mm conductor. Because all of our resistances are set, the only thing we can change is the voltage. You would n
    eed to increase the voltage in order to provide enough power. If you did increase the voltage to a point where you could power your system, you would end up burning up your tiny 0.8mm power cable.
    There is no way you can use this cable to power your system. I recommend you find another way to power your system.
    If you used a thicker cable, the resistance of the cable would decrease. With the decreased resistance, you would not need to increase your supplied voltage as much.
    Another option is to use the PXI-1000B chassis with the DC option. This way you could power your PXI system with a battery. You could also use a laptop computer to control your PXI system.

  • Model 3D du PXI-1000B

    Bonjour,
    Je (Averna.com) suis un client de vous et j'aimerais, si c'est possible, avoir un model 3D (.step) pour pouvoir les ingetrer dans nos systemes. Je sais que fournisser déja les dimesions extérieures mais cela me prends les dimensions du panneau se trouvant au-dessus.

    Salut Tanya,
     Je cherche les dimensions est les positions exactes des 10 trous de fixations sur le couvert du haut du PXI-1000B. J'intégre des instruments de mesure sur le top du PXI. Il me faut connaitre exactement les positions des trous pour pouvoir fixer les brackets de support. Je ne veux pas ouvrir le top et commencer à mesure étant donné qu'il a une garantie sur ce PXI.

  • Error-200284 for PXI-1010 MXI-3 fiberoptic connection to a PXI-6533.

    In the instruction lab in which I work, we have two types of systems:
    1)SCXI-1000 chassis connected by copper to a PXI-6035E card in a PC.
    2)PXI-1010 chassis connected by fiberoptic from a MXI-3 to a PXI-6030E card in a PC.  A PXI-6533 handles the digital I/O.
    We have LabVIEW8.5.1 running on both types of systems.  On the SCXI-1000 system, the LabView example Acq&GraphVoltage-IntClk-DigStart.vi runs just fine.  It does not run on the PXI-1010 systems.  Instead, I eventually get Error-200284.  In both cases we use PFI0 or PFI1, and digital ground, for the triggers, connected to lines 38, 39, and 33, respectively, in the SCXI-1302 terminal block, which connects to an SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel.
    I searched the forums and all ni.com for information on this problem, and have not been able to find any relevant information.
    Joseph D. Rudmin

    Hi Joseph,
    I think I'm starting to understand the problem you are having. Unfortunately, since on a SCXI module, all channels are generally multiplexed through AI0, the PXI/SCXI backplane only shares the necessary channels i.e. one AI channel and any required timing signals. Therefore, even if though you are using the SCXI-1180 module with a SCXI-1349 communicating adapter, you will not be able to access the other channels on your PXI-6030E since there is no physical connections being made to those channels in the backplane. There are 2 solutions around this problem:
    1. You can use an SCXI-1349 cable assembly to connect the front of the PXI-6030E module to the back of the SCXI-1349 adapter. This way the unused pins on the DAQ module can be accessed through the SCXI-1180.
    2. You can decide not to use the SCXI-1180 and simply use a standard 68-pin terminal block with your PXI-6030E and connect your 5V sync pulse to the PFI pins. This will still allow you to sample off of the SCXI-1100 since those channels are connected via the backplane.
    Here's a link to our online KnowledgeBase article which talks about this issue. 
    Can I Connect The SCXI-1180 To An SCXI Module In A PXI-1010 To Use The Additional Analog Input Chann...
    Please let me know if this answers your question.

  • URGENT: PXI-1033 and DAQmx problem

    I bought new laptop with Express Card slot Dell Inspiron 6400. I have PXI-1033 with integrated MXI bridge, Express Card 8360 and PXI-modules: PXI-6251, 6115, 5114 and 4071. I installed drivers 8.3 and plugged in PXI modules into PXI-1033. I first power up PXI-1033 and than power up laptop (with Express Card in it). Laptop can not start, again can not, blue window, and at last start. In MAX is listed PXI chassis with bridge and all modules, but mx is not listed and I can not use it from LabVIEW. What is the problem?

    Hi,
    To clarify, do the PXI modules show up under DAQmx devices?  What color is the Link LED on the 1033?  Do the cards all show up in Windows Device Manager correctly?  Also, are you able to power on the laptop successfully now every time, or does is have trouble booting each time you try and start it up?
    Have you inspected the MXI cable for bent pins or any visible damage?
    Thanks!

  • PXI-8331 MXI-4 interface connection error

    I am using the PXI-8331, PCI-8331 MXI-4 to control chassis PXI-1042.  I installed the cards, software and connect chassis to the desktop.  MAX window recognizes the chassis but on the chassis status under General tab, a message of "The MXI- connection to this chassis timed out" appears.  For this reason, I could not see other modules on the chassis. 
    How do I solve this problem?
    Thanks

  • Synchronisation between 2 PXI via MXI-4

        Hi,
    I would use severall PXI chassis linked with MXI-4.
    Is MXI-4 compatible with the RTSI synchro lines of PXI ? Or do I use an external trigger to do that ?
    Thanks for answers.

    Hi,
    You can not use the MXI 4 card to make a synchronization.
    There is several ways to synchronize PXI chassis.

    Hello,
    it could it be an incompatibility with the desktop PC (maybe?). I know of cases in which the PCI board can be incompatible with a certain PC for various reasons (PCI bus not 100% compliant to PCI standards, PCI power rails, PCI bus-master capabilities, motherboard/chipset issues, etc..).
    I mean, has the PC been changed?
    Wich PC model/brand is it?
    Have you tested it on another of PC (another model)?
    In case you have already tested your mxi-4 in other PCs and the behavior is the same, I suggest you to contact your local NI office for assistance.

  • Problem with using MXI-4 in a Magma expansion chassis

    I have used the Magma chassis with the MXI-3 and everything works just fine. I just purchased a new MXI-4 system (PXI-1000B, 4472 6602) and my computer will not boot up. Are there any known differences between MXI-3 and MXI-4 that would cause this?

    I am building the system for in-vehicle testing with a laptop PC. The only reason for the Magma chassis is to link the laptop to the PXI chassis. I would love a Firewire link directly from laptop to PXI-1000B but unfortunately, NI does not have one I am only using a 1-slot Magma, so I cannot try another PCI slot. I did receive a fix from Magma today that is simply a registry edit. It worked this morning, but have more validation testing to run tomorrow. I will post the info once I confirm it works.
    Thanks for the help.

    Robert,
    Thanks for the information.
    This seems applicable to my situation.
    However I experienced some issues when applying the procedure described in readme file.
    - I installed the software,
    - I shut down the computer and removed the MXI card (there's no dip switch on it).
    - I rebooetd the computer and hot plugged the card, Windows did not automatically recognize the card.
    - I run "scan for hardware changes" from the device manager - card is recognized as an additional standard PCI-to-PCI bridge with an exclamation mark.
    - Then I run BIOS compatibility sw to enable Mode 1 - When click "Scan for Devices", a message box appears "No relevant devices found" and enable button is still dimmed.
    Is there another step I shall apply? Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

  • PXI System does not appear in MAX 4.0

    Hello,
    My system comprises LabVIEW RT 7.0, target PXI-8176 controller in PXI-1000B chassis, PXI-6608, PXI-6711, NI-4472, PXI-6704, PXI-6527, PXI-8423/4, PXI-8422/4.  This has been stable for two years. I recently solved an RS-485 2-wire mode configuration problem, using information in a discussion forum thread, by upgrading to NI-VISA 3.4.1 and NI-Serial 2.5.5.  MAX 4.0 was installed as part of this process.  Everything seemed to work fine.  I instructed a distant customer to do the same, but they experienced some difficulty. To ensure we were working from the same starting point, I re-initialized my PXI system, using PXI Format Hard Drive Disk, version 7.0, from MAX 4.0.  I configured TCP IP address, and re-installed the RT software on the PXI controller.
    Next, I attempted to configure the PXI controller and chassis, in MAX, to update the pxisys.ini file, but the PXI System (Unidentified) does not appear under Remote System>>IP address>>Devices and Interfaces.  Similarly for the serial ports.  This worked before, but I cannot get this back.  What is wrong?
    Best regards,
    RonC

    Hello S. Bassett
    The controller is definitely booting in RT mode -- I can still run my applications on the RT target.  VISA seems configured properly also, I can make VISA calls without error in the application.
    In fact, the RT system seems to work correctly, and I contemplated leaving it as it is. However, the fact that MAX does not recognize the PXI system makes me nervous, and I cannot do some of the things I may want to do, for example independently configure RS-485 port wire mode in MAX (the ports do not show up either).  Traditional DAQ configuration in MAX works.
    After your last post, I found a brief reference in MAX Help that indicated "PXI Services" had to be downloaded before the chassis could be configured.  But there are no other mentions of what PXI Services is, what it does, or how to install them. PXI Services does not show up as RT Software in MAX. In the Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows, in the National Instruments software section, there are two apparently related entries:
    - NI PXI Platform Services for LabVIEW Real-Time 1.5.1
    - NI PXI Platform Services for Windows 1.5.1
    But, I cannot get these to install on the RT target.  Not knowing what was causing the problem, I uninstalled everything from  National Instruments, deleted all folders, and reformatted the PXI platform.  There was one problem during this process -- after uninstalling NI-Serial 2.5.5, it does not get removed from the Add/Remove programs control panel.  There is still a registry key that the uninstaller did not remove -- presumably this is the problem.
    I have rebuilt everything, but could not get NI-Serial to install -- the installer thinks there is a newer installed on the RT target (there isn't) and refuses to install NI-Serial 2.5.5.  So right now, I cannot install NI-SERIAL (any version), or remove the 'existing' NI_SERIAL, because it isn't actually there, and there is no uninstaller.
    Otherwise, everything seems to be back to where it was before I "upgraded" to NI-VISA 3.4.1.  This was NI-VISA 3.0, LV RT 7.0, and MAX 3.0.2.  I have not yet been able to install NI-Serial, so I cannot yet see if I have also restored my original problem -- the one that led me to have to upgrade NI-VISA and NI-SERIAL in the first place.
    Most importantly, there is now a "PXI Services v1.1.2" installed on the RT target.  I am quite sure the problem with MAX 4.0 not recognizing my PXI system has to do with the absence of this driver on the RT target.
    Thanks again for your interest and help,
    RonC

  • Pxi 8360 power led flashes red

    I have a PXI 8360 MXI Express board mounted in a PXI 1050 chassis. I am seeing the power LED occasionally flash red and I lose communication with the computer. The power LED will return to solid green status after a few minutes but I am not able to do much with NI DAQ to test the system since it has failed self test. The suspicion here is the power supply may be bad but how do we check that.
    The system with the computer has worked well over the past several years and we are concerned about possible damage from a power fluctuation that happened here around Christmas time.

    Hi Xavier,
    The red flashing light is on the PXI 8360. I have not seen any flashing lights on the chassis.
    The modules present in the system are
    PXI 8360  MXI Express
    PXI 4071  7 1/2 digit flex DMM
    PXI 4110  Programmable DC power supply
    PXI 4110
    PXI 4110
    PXI 8252  1394 Host Adapter
    TB 2627  multiplexer terminal block
    PXI 6289  M series multifunction DAQ
    SCXI 1306
    SCXI 1303
    SCXI 1303
    SCXI 1300
    So far all testing has been done with all modules installed. Another person has tried reseating all modules to see if that would fix the problem but it does not.
    The system will work fine for a few hours and then the blinking LED will begin and somewhere near that time the communications fail with the computer. The light will blink for a few minutes and then will return to solid green. Once the error has occurred it seems that the only way to re establish proper operation is to shut down the whole system, PXI chassis and computer, and restart. I saw one time where the power LED on the 8360 went from flashing red to solid green when the computer was turned off.
    The computer is  a Dell Precision 690 with PCIe 8361.
    I will be opening up the chassis hopefully in the next day or two to check fuses and voltages where I can.

  • NI PXI 6251 strange behaviour

    Hi,
    I have couple of questiobns about NI PXI 6251 in PXI-1045(with pxi-8360 Mxi-express controller).
    First it works with some huge delays when Daq_mx_stop is called or even the vi is stopped by RED button
    Second The reference trigger is not working for me...
    When the simple start trigger is set anf APFI0 is used everythzing works fine (except previously described lond delay)
    But if I set reference trigger it do not react on the triger pulse.
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the problem is not solved.
    This behaviour is observed not only in my .vi but also in NI MAX when I create a task there.
        If I use start trigger option acqusition works with external trigger, but DAQ-assistent shows me a warning: 200010 (not all points are acquired or generetaed )
    Long delay before the task finishing occures here as well.
        If I try to config reference trigger for the same input (APFI0) with the same parmeters it also reacts on a trigger but no data is read and DAQ-assistent shows me an error: -200281.
    Also a long (~15sec) delay is observed before the task in NI MAX is finished comletely.
    In attachment I've add an example where I have all these troubles but it is nothing else as very basic read example I have the same problems also in standart example from NI library.
    Thanks in advance.
