PXI-8106 Maximum Hard Drive Size

I would like to upgrade the hard drive in a PXI-8106 controller. What is the largest hard drive that can be used without problems? Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi ic2118,
The amount of memory should not be a problem as long as it is the correct form factor it should work correctly.

Memory upgrade on PXI-8105 and PXI-8106 controllers

Hi,
I've recently upgraded the memory of three PXIs; one with a PXI-8105 controller and two with PXI-8106 controllers. Both the 8105 and 8105 can take a maximum of 4GB (2x2GB) of DDR2-677 (PC2-5300) memory (see links below). However, on all three systems, both the BIOS and the O/S only see 3.3GB. Any idea why this might be the case?
I've tried flashing the BIOS (v1.4 on both PXIs), but with no success.
We're using COTS memory (i.e. not bought from NI) but I'd be hard pushed to believe that that is the cause of the problem.
Thanks.

Are these controllers running Windows? If so, this is normal expected behavior. I think it might have something to do with the fact that Windows reserves the rest of the memory for driver addressing (could be totally wrong there). The same thing happens on my Dell desktop PC with 4GB of memory in it.

What is it "USB-USB Network Bridge Adaptor" in my NI PXI-8106 controller?

What is it "USB-USB Network Bridge Adaptor" in my NI PXI-8106 controller?
Could I disable this device in "Device Manager". Because it is generating new network card and same application which is using PC information is using this "interface" to generate PC information for licensing.

Hi JCC,
I don't think that's an NI software/driver, you can certainly try and disable it in Device Manager and see what effect it has. You can always enable it again if it causes problems when disabled.

No video or network access from a PXI-8106

I have a PXI-8106 embedded processor in a 1052 combo chassis running Windows XP. Up until about a week ago it was working fine. Now I can't get a video signal to a monitor or any network connection. The system administrator says it doesn't show up on the network at all and there is a link light and activity showing on the network port. Help!!! Do I need to buy a new processor?

Hi stro1rob,
Can you please verify the LED's on the front panel of the chassis when you have the controller powered on?
The POWER OK LED indicates the power status of the controller and will either be ON and steady, blinking, or OFF. The DRIVE LED indicates when an access to the internal hard disk is occurring.
Try hooking up another DVI monitor (that is known to work) to your chassis. There could be a number of things going on right now, so we should try isolating the problem. I'm assuming that you are also connected to your network via the Ethernet port, so I would try connecting again with another cable.
Here is a KB that discusses a BIOS issue that can cause your video output to disappear, but since you have mentioned that your setup originally worked, I doubt this is the case, but it might still be worth looking at.
If the above mentioned things do not work out, you would probably need to get your controller RMA'ed. To do so, please call into NI Support.

Unable to install the RT Watchdog on a PXI-8106 RT controller

Hi,
After upgrading my NI Developper Suite from rel. 8.2 to 8.2.1 (clean install, means deinstalling the rel. 8.2 and new install of rel. 8.2.1, incl. DAQmx 8.5).
Installing the software trough MAXn the new PXI-8106 RT controller, everything is working okay except the installation of the NI Watchdog 2.1.5f0. For any reason, the module does not appears in the listing of the National Instruments Real-Time software displayed by MAX but a check of the LabVIEW installation on the PC (Windows XP SP2) confirm that all elements are available on the host. A second installation does not help and the module NI_Watchdog still not appears in the listing
What is wrong? Does the new PXI 8106 controller not support the watchdog timer function?
Thank's for all reply

Update Windows xp in NI PXI-8106 controler? Can any issues arise?

Hello.
We're using a NI PXI-1052 Chassis with a NI PXI-8106 controler, using Windows XP.
Windows has asked to install some updates (Windows only, nothing directly related to the PXI controler)
Is it possible that some conflicts will arise with the controler?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Gonçalo Vitor,
Thanks for posting on National Instruments forum.
You can update your Windows on your PXI-8106 controller it won't result conflicts.

PXI-8106 shuts down shortly after boot, the power light is flashing.

How can I tell if this is a board power supply problem in the NI PXI 8106 or a PXI crate problem?   The time between shut downs decreases to the point where it will not boot at all.

Hi dlknies-
     Take a look at the PXI-8106 User Manual on page 3-14. It says that a blinking Power LED indicates that one of the PXI or onboard supplies is operating outside of the normal limits or is not functioning. You can attempt the repair yourself or you can have it sent back to National Instruments for an RMA.
     I hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

Can the PXIe-6341 drive solid state relays?

I have a PXI rack with a PXIe-6341 and was wondering if this module will drive 5v solid state relays or if I need to
use a relay driver IC between the relay and the DIO lines.
thanks

The spec for the 6341 states a digital output drive current of 24mA. With that, you should be able to drive most SSRs. But do check the control currents just to be safe.

Connection Lost PXI 8106/8108

Hello,
I'm using PXI system for running several modules (Motion, digitizers, DAQ Etc.).
My system is part of a SA TCP/IP network, with a static IP address.
The OS of the PXI is phar lap ets.
My host is LV2013SP1, Windows7.
I get a connection lost error to my PXI every few minutes. I tried other controller (8108) and other connection port, unsuccessfully.
Any Idea anyone?
Thanks,

Hello yakir,
Are you able to see your pxi chassis on NI-MAX? By the way which PXI chassis are you using to connect the controllers?
In case you are not able to see the chassis on NI-MAX please try the following:

How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?

I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!

Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
Thank you!

PXIe 8262 streaming performance with HDD 8264 on a PXIe 1062Q chassis

Hello,
I have a PXIe 1062Q chassis, running Win XP, with one 8262 connected to an HD8264 and two PXIe 6537 installed, all the three board being on the express slots (3, 4 and 5). Running the benchmark application for testing the streaming speed (Win32FileIO) I get something like 100 MB/s with data chunks of about 4 MB, and around 140 MB/s with chunk of 64 M. How can improve these results toward the theoretical limit off 600 MB/s? Is there any software/driver trick to be applied?
And, in case, which is the best way to exploit the 8262 from C++ written code (using the NI libraries)? Is there anything similar to the Win32FileIO library? I tried using the RAID system from a c++ test program, and the performance seems very poor, while I would need, if not the 600 MB/s rate, at least something around 200 MB/s of continuous streaming.
Thanks in advance,
Piero.

Hi Neil,
I actually have a 8130 controller, and in fact that was not the problem: I found the problem being the file-caching performed by Windows file system. If you use standard fstream calls from C source code you cannot bypass it, but by using Windows native call (CreateFile(...), WriteFile(...) APIs) and setting the flag for no data caching or buffering inside the call, I managed to get the full bandwith of 600 MBytes/s.
Anyway thanks for the quick reply!
Piero
I'm guessing you have a controller that only
supports x1 PCI Express. The PXIe-8130 is our highest-bandwidth
controller, with four x4 links going to the chassis. In the case of
the 1062, each of slots 3, 4 and 5 get a dedicated link from the
controller. x1 links max out at about 200 MB/s and x4 links max out at
800 MB/s.
So your first step is to use an embedded
controller or use MXI Express x4 instead of x1 back to a host
computer. While the PXIe-8130 is the best for high-bandwidth data
transfers, the PXIe-8106 should also be sufficient for your needs.
If
you want to stream data to disk from a PXIe-6537, it is already built
into DAQmx. You simply specify a file name, and the data goes to
disk. If you want to stream *from* disk, you'll have to do that on
your own. Here is a C/CVI example for streaming digitizers to disk
using a C API and the Windows File I/O functions.

PXI-8532 DNET card is not detected in MAX

Hi all,
I'm using NI PXI-1031(4 slot PXI chassis). I have the following cards in the respective slots
Slot 1= PXI-8106 Controller
Slot 2= PXI-6259 card(AI)
Slot 3= PXI-6509 card(DI,DO)
Slot 4= PXI-8532 Card(DNET)
In MAX(Measurement & Automation Explorer), I was expecting all the above cards(PXI 6259, 6509 & 8532) to be detected under Devices and Interfaces. But only the AI and DIO cards are detected in MAX under Remote Systems>>PXI>>Devices and Interfaces.
PXI-6259 (PXI1 Slot2)
PXI-6509 (PXI1 Slot3)
The device net card, PXI-8532 is not detected in MAX. Does MAX shows/detects the DNET card?
In MAX, I selected Tools menu>>NI-DNET>>RT Hardware Configurations. Then a window prompts for RT IP address. After entering the IP address, I pressed OK. A message appears that no device is found.
Can any one help me how to detect the DNET card in MAX and do the DNET port configuration?
DNET driver version - 1.6.4

Dirk,
Thanks for the reply. After updating the new driver, I am able to detect the DNET card PXI-8532 in MAX
New driver - NI-Industrial Communications for DeviceNet 2.1
But Im not able to configure the Device Net port. In MAX, I selected the menu option Tools>>NI-DNET>>RT Hardware Configurations. Then a window prompts for RT IP address. After entering the IP address, a message appears that no device interface is found.
By default, the DNET0 port is configured for the card in MAX. So I tried to communicate from LabVIEW using DNET0 port.
After installing Devicenet 2.1, an additional function palette has been added for DNET in LabVIEW.
Old DNET function palette - Instrument IO>>DNET
New DNET function palette - Industrial Communications
My original application was written with old function palette VIs which corresponds to DNET 1.6.4 version. In the download link that you shared has a description about the driver compatibility. The description says still the DNET card PXI-8532 is compatible with NI-DNET 1.x LabVIEW VIs.
With the old DNET VIs, I tried to establish communication with DNET interface port "DNET0". But it shows error while opening the interface.
Error Code ="-1074388957" - The Interface is invalid or unknown. Solution: Verify that the interface is assigned to a specific port within the Devices and Interfaces branch of the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).
With the new DNET VIs(DNET 2.1.0), Im able to open the DNET interface successfully. But my original application was written in Old DNET VIs (DNET 1.6.4).
1. Do you know why the DNET 1.6.4 LabVIEW VIs are not working with PXI-8532 DNET card?
2. Can you help me how to configure DNET port in MAX for PXI-8532 DNET card?
