PXI-5402 IVI in TestStand 4.2 returned "niFgen_InitWithOptions" Resource not found

Hi, i'm very new in TestStand.
I hope someone could help me.
I have a complete Sequence in which an ivi should initiate a PXI-5402.
(It's an old sequence i inherited. It's now my job to get it working again).
We have another System with an PXI-5401 (appears in MAX as Traditional-DAQ) which works fine with this Sequence.
I created a new Sequence to simplify troubleshooting with just the "IVI Fgen" step.
When in click on "Validate" and uncheck "Simulate" and hit "Init" i get:
niFgen_InitWithOptions returned an error: -1073807343 (0xbfff0011). Insufficient location information or the requested device or resource is not present in the system. If the resource descriptor is an IVI name, it must match the entry in the IVI Configuration Store in a case sensitive manner.
Source: TSIviStepTypes [Error Code: -31619]
In NI-Spy i get following Error
> Status: 0xBFFF0011 (VI_ERROR_RSRC_NFOUND)
I think i have configured everything correct. Please see attached Screenshot.
I tried different IVI-Logical Names...
To eliminate this as root cause, i reference direct the Driver-Session which is displayed correctly on the iviConfiguration.
Thanks in advance

Ok, i got it ...
It's the well known problem with DAQmx-Configuration within MAX.
Described under:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/22CF7E6B27B6995B86256DDB0058F39B
I had to link Logical-Name with DAQmx-Device instead of PXI-Device.
Thanks anyway.

WCF Error: The remote server returned an error: Not Found

I have a windows phone8 app that utilizes a azure WCF service. I added the Servicereference to my project,when i call the service method it executes fine but getting the following error after executing:
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The remote server returned an error: Not Found
Here's the code where my error's occuring (the error occurs on the 2nd line of code within the method(the line that contains "_result =

                object[] _args = new object[0];
                string _result = ((string)(base.EndInvoke("SendMessage", _args, result)));
                return _result;
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.

Hi Narendramacha,
It may be have more than one possibility reasons. Did you try the service URL in the phone/emulator Internet Explorer to be sure the url is accessible ? About this error, I found some solutions , please refer to :

Credit card payment with eway returns "invoice number not found" on BC

dear all,
I am currently working on the payment gateway of pared.com.au. the problem we're having is that every credit card payment gets redirected to the "Credit Card Payment Fail" page, although the payment was marked as successful on eway.
eway transaction details stated "response code: 00", response text "transaction approved".
however, the CC payment fail page stated:
"there was an error processing your credit card. please correct this and try again.
invoice number not found: . please go back and correct this."
strangely enough, the order is perfectly recorded as successful order in BC (customers -> orders).
any help would be much appreciated - i've been looking at this for hours but i'm getting nowhere. thanks everyone!

Thank you for contacting us!
I just see your online shop purchase form, which contains update credit card fields,
http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-02-20_1309.png
As per the field description, it's used fo rupdating CC details, not for purchases.
Remove that system field and reinsert the form, and it should then work

Compilation error - FPGA NI PXI-7951R board - ERROR: Xst: 2472 - Top module Puma15Top was not found.

I'm trying to compile a "user CLIP socket" for the NI PXI board - 7951R which has a Virtex-5 LX30 FPGA from Xilinx, but I got the bellow message from NI Compiler, this message is in error report Xilinx.log.
It says that module Puma15Top was not found.
But this module is a NI property and is automatically compiled by NI Compiler.
The compiler automatically generates these files (Puma15Top...) that are passed to the compiler of Xilinx. The Puma15Top files are in the path, i.e: C: \ NIFPGA \ compilation \ Told_F_I_CC5DC260 \ source_files.
This folder name is automatically generated by labview (Told_F_I_CC5DC260) for each different project or compilation.
So I have no way to configure in CLIP files where it'll be Puma15Top, once the path is automatically generated during compilation by Labview.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? Or have you experienced some like this?
Following error log:

Count(*) returns 'Column 'Count' not found' SQLException

I am trying to get the count from a table using the following:
String query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable;"
I know that the connection is open and working because I am getting back an SQLException:
'Column 'Count' not found' .
The same command works fine at the command line. I would be grateful for any suggestions as to why JDBC sends my app searching for a field named count in my table whereas the command line returns the expected number.
Thanks.

Found the problem, which is mainly my own stupidity . Is it one of Murphy's laws that the quickest way to find the solution to a problem if first embarrass yourself by asking foolish questions? Sorry to have bothered anyone.

"Unable to display MapService Server returned:AXLParser: 'maxy' not found in ENVELOPE"

When accessing this site:

This should result in a satellite style county map. It works fine in Explorer, and used to work fine in Fire fox (continues to work fine in Explorer).

This is an issue with the server of the site itself rather than FireFox. This is indicated by the "Server Returned" portion of the message which indicates it's an issue on the side of the website and/or developer rather than locally with Firefox itself.

The page where you are expecting the HeaderVar to be shown is the resource protected or it is set as Authorization redirection action? If as action, please protect the page by OAM (set the HeaderVar in the Policy) and access the page directly and see if it shows the headerVar.

When I click on hyperlinks in Word or One Note, firefox adds FirefoxHTML\Shell\Open\Command to the url which of course returns a "url not found" error. How can I fix this?

I recently updates to Firefox 4, but this was happening even before. I read posts online from several years ago that suggested temporarily make IE the default browser, and then changing it back to Firefox, but this didn't help.
I am using Office 2010.

See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

Sign on screen up, but trying to sign on returns page not found

Hullo,
had this issue on a LIVE instance running 11.5.10.2 (11.2.03 on RHEL 5.5) last week
Users could not connect (or work) to or in i Expenses. The sign on screen was up, but trying to sign on returned a page not found error.
I checked Apache processes and there were around 20 of them.
Apache was running.
I decided to bounce Apache and this resolved the error.
I suspect that it wasn't Apache that was the problem (since there were many Apache processes running). What was the real issue? A module?
Any helpful tips will much much appreciated.
Happy Christmas.
PS: Is simply grepping for Apache enough to confirm that it is running (as well as checking adapcctl.sh status)? Why are there over 25 Apache processes running - even when I check on an instance that no one is using??
Thank you again.

TestStand 4.2 Error String not found in language resource files

I've installed TestStand 4.2 on two Windows XP machines. On one machine it worked fine first time. On the other machine I receive the following message in the login box, and also in the templates pane: 'String not found in language resource files." I have tried uninstalling and re-installing TestStand twice but still get this error. This error prevents me being able to login as an administrator so I am unable to use TestStand 4.2. I understand that these language resource files are provided by the installer but for some reason it seems that the machine with the error cannot locate these.
The only difference between the two XP machines that I can find is the location of user profiles. I note that on Vista compatible TestStand versions that TestStand user settings are stored to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2\Components on XP machines. On the XP machine with the error all user profiles are stored under C:\profiles, rather than C:\Documents and Settings. This is the standard profile used by our company so I am unable to change this. The TestStand installer does recognise this and installs TestStand user settings to C:\profliles\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2\. Does anyone know whether the location of the user profiles is important, or whether there is another cause for this error?
Regards,
David
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Scott,
I've held off on the changes suggested by John for now. You are correct in that the knowledge base article referenced by John does not apply since the engine does initialise.
I've attached two screen shots. The first one is the standard login box which displays the "String Not found in language resource files" message in place of the usual "administrator" user name. If I overwrite the "String Not found in language resource files" user name with "administrator" and click OK to log in then I get an "Invalid User Name" error dialogue box. Therefore I am unable to log into TestStand.
The second screen shot shows the TestStand sequence editor with the String Not found in language resource files visible in the templates pane.

David

PXI-5402 timeout error

I am running into an issue with the PXI-5402 Function Generator card in my system. First, here is the configuration of my system:
PXI Chassis (1045)
PXI-8361 controller card (MXI-Express) controlled by a remote computer running the PCI-E controller card.
PXI-5402 Fgen running niFGEN 2.9 software
PXI-4070 DMM
SCXI 1001 w/ multiple modules, controlled through DMM
PC is running Windows XP w/ SP3
The issue I am having is when I try and command an output wave through the NI soft panel, I get a timeout error (-200221). When I run the Self Calibration, I get the same error. The card is showing up in the MAX software with no issues. I can run the Self-Test and it returns successful. I put this 5402 into another system that is using the MXI-4 interface and everything works fine (verified output of Fgen using a DMM). So, this points me to the MXI-Express interface. I read about the PCI-Express compatability software, but it says to only use it if the computer will not boot or if the NI PXI cards do not get recognized in MAX. Should I try to install that software to see if it resolves my issue? I also have a DMM card (PXI-4070) that seems to blue screen Windows XP when trying to read a resistance using the niDMM_32.DLL (it works about 1 time out of 7) (message posted on here a week ago for that). It will read through the test panel in MAX though. I am also controlling an SCXI chassis through the DMM card, and every once in a while the SCXI modules can't be accessed (using my program or MAX). I thought the DMM card was going out, but with the Fgen card doing weird things, I wonder if the PCI-Express bus is causing all of it.
I did look in my computer BIOS settings, and here is what is listed for the PCI-Express bus:
American Megatrends BIOS:
PCI-Express Settings:
Relaxed Ordering - Disabled
Extended Tags - Disabled
Maximum Payload - Auto
Maximum Read Request - Auto
ASPM Support - Disabled
Extended Synch - Disabled
Link Training Retry - 5
Link Training Timeout - 100 (micro seconds)
Unpopulated Links - Keep Link on
Any thoughts on why the card is not working in this system? The fact that it works fine in a system using MXI-4 points to the interface. Should I try the compatibility software to see if that solves it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are only 4 interrupts available to the chassis (neglecting message-signalled interrupts, which aren't being used in this case). The 4 interrupts are rotated between slots, so conceptually every fourth slot will have the same interrupt. But there are several factors that affect the rotation so it's not as simple as every-fourth-slot. The rotation will change for each segment in the chassis (there are dividing lines on the 1045 that show where the segments change). There's also a discontinuity where the PCI-PCI bridge is connected on one segment to bridge to the next. The 4 interrupt lines are mapped to IRQs that Windows shows in device manager.
So interrupts will need to be shared if you have more than 4 cards. Depending on your motherboard, those interrupts may also be shared with other things in the system. To change what interrupt is being used means changing slots. Any card in a given slot will always use the same interrupt unless it's a "complex" card, meaning it is multi-function in the PCI sense, or it has a bridge. The rotation of the interrupts will also change if you change the path to the host, meaning changing slots the PCI card is in or changing the PCI card to a PCIe card.
I'm not sure all of that rambling will help with your issue, but it may help as you're trying to reduce/balance the sharing of the interrupts.

Frequency Control Word (PXI-5402): Rounded up or down?

A further question wrt PXI-5402 standard function generation.
The frequency control word is calculated by dividing the desired output frequency by the sample clock frequency (100MHz for a PXI-5402) and multiplying it by 2^N where 'N' is the width of the DDS accumulator (48 for the PXI-5402). As the frequency control word is an integer does any fractional residual result in the control word being rounded up or rounded down?
e.g. if a I request a frequency of 1Hz I get a control word of 2814749.767 which would give an actual output frequency of 0.99999997 Hz if rounding down or 1.00000008 Hz if rounding up.
Thanks.

I believe the FCW gets rounded. I actually was able to find a LV demo for you, but it was made for the 5411. You would need to change some values to make it work for the 5402/5406: http://www.ni.com/example/28757/en/
Keep in mind that all of the DDS calculations are actually implemented in HW on an FPGA, see figure 2: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5516/en/. The tuning word here is the same as the FCW. This image used to be used on that white paper before it was updated. The adder in Figure 2 is the same adder in this image below.
Also, as I have mentioned before, the accuracy for the Sample Clock above for the 5402 is 25ppm. If the actual frequency you are generating is such a concern, are you using an external high accuracy clock source? What is your application?

Calculating the true output frequency of a PXI-5402

I have a PXI-5402 card sat in a PXIe chassis. I am only interested in sine wave output at frequencies up to approx 10kHz. I know that it is posible to request an output frequency and then query the acutal output frequency but I would rather be able to calculate it before hand. All I can find in the literature is a figure of 0.355uHz for frequency resolution.
Is there a better description of the frequency resolution? If not, is the resolution exactly 0.355uHz or is this an approximation (to 3 significant figures)?
Solved!

This webcast is an excellent way to learn the process of which the NI 5402 and NI 5406 operate to generate their periodic functions: http://www.ni.com/webcast/75/en/
The 0.355uHz value is a theoretical value of achievable frequency rates based on the Clock Rate and Phase Accumulator size. This is the closest thing I can find on ni.com for you to use to calculate the value: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370524R-01/siggenhelp/ni_5401_11_31_frequency_resolution_and...
I believe Fc for the NI 5402/5406 should be 100M and the accumulator size is 48-bit. Therefore frequency resolution = Fc / 2N = (100 × 10^6) / 2^48 = 3.55271368e-7
Keep in mind that the device has a VCXO frequency accuracy spec of +/- 25ppm, if you do not PLL lock it to a better source.
