when i try to install windows 7(32 bit professional)  pxi system back up DVD ,after selecting one primary drive of size 120 GB,during installation sequence,following error is comming,
"Windows can not  install required files make sure all files required for installation available and restart the installation.
Error code:0*8007045D"
any sugesstion for rectifing this error.

I believe on new controllers now there is a way to reinstall the factory image, via acronis. When you turn the computer on before windows starts i think there is a text prompt saying acronis loader press f4. Press f4 this will put you into the reimage the hardrive. Before doing this btw get all your data off
hope it helps

  • Issues when installing Windows XP on a PXI-8108 with a Solid State HDD

    Hi,
    I have been assisting a client with installing Windows XP onto a PXI-8108 controller.  They have replaced the default HDD with a solid-state HD.
    We have attempted to run the System Recovery CD.  The recovery part works fine, ie. you select Acronis, it unzips all the files to C drive. 
    However when it gets up to the bit where Win XP Setup starts (after rebooting once the Recovery section completes), we have issues.
    It can't find files, ie. dmconfig.dll, gm.dls, etc on the Win XP CD.  When it tries to find mfc40u.dll, it came up with an error:
    "The file Setup placed on your hard drive is not a valid Win XP System image.  If you are installing from a CD, there may be a problem with the Windows XP CD."
    We have tried two different recovery CDs, and we even tried just a plain Win XP CD.  All had similar issues.
    We have tried different SATA settings in the BIOS - both IDE AND AHCI.
    It may just be that we have a faulty SSD, however it seemed to work ok when we had it connected to the PXI via USB (with the default HDD still in place).  I was able to run diskcheck, which did not bring up any errors.  Disk Management showed things were healthy.
    So what I would like to know, is if there is any issue with a PXI-8108, and SSDs?  We have successfully performed this operation a few months back using the same brand of SDD, but with a PXI-8104.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    This is more than likely a failing disk.  SSDs don't always report failures in the same way as a rotating drive.  Also, the tools that are helpful with diagnosing rotating drive failures don't always work with SSDs.
    From the thread, it sounds like you have another system with this same SSD and it is working properly.  Does that system have the same PXI Controller and Chassis?
    I have seen these types of errors if the media for the OS installation is corrupt, but it sounds like you have tried different CDs.
    I realize you have limited access to this drive, but here are my recommendations:
    1)  Put the failing SSD in a different system (desktop is preferable), and install a base version of XP.  If this fails, RMA the drive, they normally have 3-5 warranties.
    2)  Run Crystal Mark Info and check for SMART failures:
    http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/i​ndex-e.html
    3)  You can securely erase the SSD, which is not for the faint of heart.  This will restore the drive to a new condition.  If the drive has a bad cell which is causing data corruption during the OS install, securely erasing the drive will hopefully cause the firmware to map out the bad areas.  This is a good tutorial, just ignore that fact that it is targeted at Intel drives.

  • Dual Monitor with PXI-8108

    I am trying to use dual monitors with a PXI-8108 and the NI DVI splitter as described here
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0E993D33675CD46A862572D50072C6A3
    There must be some software update I need because I don't not have an option for the second monitor?  Does anyone
    know what I may need to update, possibly the graphics driver, and where to find it?
    I have (2) mobile intel 4 series express chipset family listed under my device manager
    driver version 6.14.10.5009

    Are you trying to use three monitors with the setup in question there? Adding another set of splitters could impact the signal quality depending on your monitors and needs.
    I'm not aware of a specific test with that setup, but given the correct adapter types and correct signal sources on each adapter, I would imagine you may be able to get it to work.
    Again, as with the above posts, reference the linked Discussion Forum thread in the first post here, as you are going to be looking at similar questions in that case.

  • Can i use PXIe-1073 with an embedded PXIe controller PXIe-8108

    I have a PXI express chassis PXIe-1073 with an integrated controller MXI-Express controller PCIe-8361. I now want to use the chassis as a standalone system with an embedded controller.
    (a)Can i use PXIe-1073 chassis with PXIe-8108 embedded controller
    (b)Can i use a windows based laptop to control the PXIe-1073 via the PCIe-8361 integrated controller.

    Hello kanad,
    The PXIe-1073 is a MXI-integrate chassis.  This means that the MXI card that would normally go into the controller slot (slot 1) is built into the chassis.  The PCIe-8361 or Expresscard8360 are placed into the desktop or laptop, respectively, and connect to the chassis.  The cards in the PXIe-1073 then appear as if they are part of the desktop of laptop.
    Since the controller is built into the chassis, the PXIe-1073 does not have a slot 1.  Controllers, such as the 8108 can only be plugged into slot 1.  Therefore, the PXIe-1073 can only be controlled by the desktop or laptop MXI link.  It cannot run standalone with an embedded controller.
    Consider reading page 1-3 and 1-6 in the manual below:

  • PXIe-8108 GPIB

    Bonjour,
    Pour une configuration client nous utilisons un chassis PXIe avec un controlleur PXIe-8108.
    Sur ce contolleur il y a un connecteur GPIB.
    Nous utilisons ce chassi avec un PC maitre via connexion ethernet.
    Je souhaiterai, via le PC, piloter les appareils qui sont branchés sur le chassis PXI en GPIB.
    Sur le PC via MAX dans la partie systeme déporté je visualise bien mon chassis PXI. Je vois qu'il y a un controle GPIB mais je ne peux lancer VISA pour interoger les appareils.
    Du côté systeme->périphériques et interfaces, il n y a rien du tout permettant une communication GPIB.
    Y'a t il un driver spécifique à installer sur le châssis, ou le PC, permettant la communication avec un appareil via le controlleur GPIB du PXI?

  • PXI-8108 vs LabVIEW RT

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a compatibility table, that would give to me, for each PXI-CPU the list of LVRT release that are compatible.
    Is anyone knows where to find it ?
    From now I only want to know if PXI-8108 can runs LV-RT 2014, 2013 or 2012, but a complete table would be very interesting to manage obsolescence.

  • Pxie 8108 does not boot with new hard disk

    Hi
    I'm currently using PXIe 8108 with PXIe-1062Q.
    The previous hard disk was borken so I had to install a new hard disk.
    The new hard disk is fommatted as NTFS format, and it is currently mounted on 8108.
    Unfortunately I don't have recovery disk avaialble so I'm trying to install Windows 7 on empty hard disk.
    When you boot, the PWK OK LED light is on all the time, DRIVE orange LED is on for few seconds only when I turn the switch on.
    Labview RT switches are all off, I cleared CMOS many times from the board but, the screen shows nothing.
    I have tried use my DVI monitor with other device as well, and it worked so there is no problem with the monitor.
    In addition, I tried to go to window safe mode by pressing F8 or Del it didn't work, so I see nothing on the screen when its booted up.
    I tried to put as much information I can it will be very appreciated if you can help me with this issue please.

    You said you can't get into Windows safe mode, have you installed Windows on the hard drive?  Are you able to get into the BIOS for the controller?  
    If you aren't able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM.  If you are comfortable installing RAM and you have some extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try swapping out the RAM.
    Was your hard drive damaged through some event, or did it just stop working?

    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    I suspect that this issue is because your system does not contain an RT compatible partition for installing LabVIEW RT.
    If your system is configured for dual booting Windows and RT, then you need to have two partitions on your disk, one for Windows (typically NTFS) and a second for LabVIEW RT (either FAT32 or Reliance).
    Since you already have windows on the target, you should first boot into Windows and attempt to create a second FAT32 partition for RT if you have some unpartitioned space available on your disk (depending on the version of Windows, they may require 3rd party tools).  Another option is to freshly install Windows on the disk using the NI-provided OS Recovery media, which has installation options for configuring a disk to support dual-boot Windows and RT.
    As to your original issue as described I have forwarded on your problem internally for further investigation - in general simply lacking a formatted partition should not cause RT safemode to reboot.  In your specific situation, however, it would still be best for you to configure the paritions from within Windows anyway instead of using the tool in MAX to ensure that the Windows partition is correctly preserved.
    Cheers,

  • Dual monitor setting on PXI 8108

    there is only one DVI port in PXI8108, how can I set up dual monitors?
    Best,
    Sam

    Hi samybae, 
    You should be able to use dual monitors because the controller uses DVI-I (single link) connectors. This allows you to break the signal out to a DVI as well as VGA connector using a splitter.

  • Counter value jumps on occasion (PXI 6255)

    I am using a PXI 8108 controller (Windows) with a PXI 6255 AI card. A pulse generator (1 KHz) is incrementing the hardware counter of that AI card in order to have an external reference clock, i. e. having a timestamp for each AI sample value.
    I am reading 1000 AI values from several channels  (together with 1000 counter values) via DAQmx blocks with a higher frequency than the external clock's 1 KHz (e.g. AI Rate 5 KHz-> reading every counter value approx. 5 times). Every now an then I am losing counter values, e. g. counter value 6789 is followed by 6823.
    Shouldn't be the PXI card's counter buffer independant of Window's CPU load? Getting 1000 values from the card buffer, the jumps are even located in the middle of the 1000 values. Maybe there's a problem with atomicity while reading from the buffer, so that I get 500 values from the buffer, (pause), and 500 more values from a later point in time. Is this possible?
    I am sure, I can not blame the digital pulse generator (from Hameg Instruments) for dropping pulses.

    counter-daq.png ‏20 KB

    Hello,
    If the first scan only places 4 samples in the AI FIFO (2 less than the number of channels requested), then I would expect this loop to run forever in aiex1.cpp (I added some debugging prints to make it easier to see the channels that should be getting returned).
           while ( m < numberOfChannels )
            if(!board->AI_Status_1.readAI_FIFO_Empty_St())
                value = board->AI_FIFO_Data.readRegister ();
                aiPolynomialScaler (&value, &scaled, &scale);
                printf ("Channel %d: %e,\n", m, scaled);
                m++;
        printf("\tEnd of Sample %d\n", n);
    How is the example able to proceed past this loop?
    I have checked the code for FIFO flushes and resets between aiStartOnDemand (board); and when the FIFO gets read.  I have also run the example with 6 channels, this time on Windows.
    To proceed we would need these items:
    1) We would need the exact output (with my added debug prints).
    2) A complete dump of all registers accessed during the example.

  • How to send a modulate signal by the NI PXI-5441?

    How to send a modulate signal by the NI PXI-5441?
    I am using NI PXI-8108 / PXI-5441.
    I want to send a binary signal modulated (FSK) by the 5441. I tried to use, without success, the modulation VIs with the Fgen VI.
    Thanks

    Hi Mauro,
    the code structure is similar to any structure of I/O. You need open the communication channel with the hardware (using VI Open), use VI Write/Read to send/receive data and close the reference (VI Close). You can look the structure in LV examples.
    Nevertheless, if you cannot, post your code that I analize to you.

  • PXI-6255 not identified in MAX as DAQmx

    We recently purchased a PXI-8108 controller for use as a spare and I'm having difficulty getting it to play well with our existing hardware and software. The controller we have been using is an older PXI-8106.
    The new controller has Windows 7 where the old had XP, so I had to use more recent versions of PXI Platform Services and MAX, as well as DAQmx. The versions I've installed are: PXI Platform Services 3.0.4, MAX 5.3.1, DAQmx 9.2.2. I can't use more recent version of DAQmx because our we are using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and anything more recent doesn't support that.
    The 6255 is showing up in the device manager under Windows, and the properties show that it is using the same hardware driver (nixsrkw.sys, rev. 1.13.0f4) as we use on the old controller. The 6255 also shows up in MAX, with a device identifier of PXI13::15:INSTR, but not listed as a DAQmx device. So, when I import the MAX settings file, the defined tasks won't run.
    I haven't found any postings in the forum that quite match this scenario. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike,
    Firstly, I want to let you know that you will have problems using LabVIEW 8.5 with Windows 7.  The oldest version of LabVIEW supported in Win 7 is LabVIEW 2009 SP1:
