PXI8433/2: Jumper W1, enable 2-Wire-Aut​o mode permanentl​y

Dear all,
I'd like to run the proprietary windows software PCM001Z on our PXI system. The software should communicate via one port of the PXI8433/2 RS485 card in two-wire-mode with a Toshiba frequency converter.
Unfortunately it seems as if the software clears the scratch register of the PXI8433 uart, what leads to disabling two wire mode.
My Questions:
* Is there a way to enable 2-wire-auto mode of the PXI8833/2 permanetly?  
* What is the use of the 5 jumpers marked "W1" on the PXI8833/2 board? Could these jumpers be used for configurating the PXI8433/2 card?
Thanks a lot in advance,
cheerio,
Volker.  
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear all,
meanwhile I managed to put port 1 of our PXI8433/2 card in 2-wire-auto mode w/o echo permanently by using a soldering iron ;-)
The following steps were necessary:
1. To disable echo I simply connected the receiver enable pin /RE (3) of the RS422 line driver MAX3086 (U7) with the
      transmitter enable pin TE (4).
      Note: The /RE pin has to be unsoldered from the pcb.
2. 2-Wire-Auto mode is enabled permanently by connecting the Transmitter Enable of the above mentioned RS422 line
      drive to the TxRdy0 pin (21) of the OX16C954 UART (U11). Please note that the TE signal goes through the Digital
      Insulator ADuM1400 (U1). Therefore pin 6 of U1 has to be unsoldered from the pcb and connected to pin 21 of U11.
For correct RS485-2-wire-mode the following windows settings for port 1 must be set:
  [x] Use FIFO buffers
  Transmit Buffer: Low (1) -> put ruler to the leftmost border
  Transceiver Mode: 4 Wire

    The MBA seems to cause several problems to several users on boot ups
    On start up my MBA would not boot up the apple logo came on but only a blank screen appeared no fan i followed several start up recommendations but to no avail so I  took the MBA to the nearest Apple repair centre again the same symptoms on start up ......very sorry sir you need a new mother board that will be $500 not feeling confidant in the product declined and was going to put it on ebay for spares.
    On return home I pressed the start up button and it started normally everything was working fine i decided to reinstall all the software what has caused the problem I have no idea but it is after several attempted reboots it finally started on its own so don't give up if you have this problem it may come to life

    how to enable wi-fi in sleep mode?

    If you have cellular data plan for your phone and you have cellular data turned on, the fact that you do not have Wi-Fi at the time, you will still receive your messages, plus once the device starts to receive the message and "wakes up", the device will reconnect to Wi-Fi at that time.
    As stated by everyone that has posted so far, the fact that Wi-Fi disconnects after the phone goes to sleep is a battery saving feature of the phone. There is no app or other setting that will change that. Only keeping the device connected to power will keep the Wi-Fi radio active.

  • NI motion servo jerk/jump on enable

    we're having an issue with our servo motion control
    PCI-7354 + UMI
    Labview RT 8.6
    nimotion 73xx controller support 7.7.0
    we've got a mechanical safety switch that kills power to our servo amps (via the inhibit line)
    if we engage the safety switch while the motor is moving the motor stops ok thou when we reenagage it the motor "jumps" sometimes by hundreds of counts
    s/w process:
    as soon as the safety switch is detected we issue a kill stop command to both motors then disable the limit switches (as the motor carriage can fall onto the reverse switch)
    when a reset safety is requested the limit switches are reenabled, the 2 axis are reenabled (configure inhibit i/o - triggers the amp inhibit line) then a kill stop and halt stop are called to reenable the ni motion axis
    any thoughts as to why the motor would jump on re-enable?

    Hi,
    I don't know if you have solved this yet - so here are my thoughts:
    We used to use the Baldor NextMove ISA cards in one of our systems. We found that if the motion was disabled (in our case by opening the instrument's door), and the axis was subsequently moved (in your case it drops under gravity), upon re-enabling the controller, the controller would try to close the position loop to return the axis to the position it was at, when the system was disabled. It essentially did this by applying maximum DAC volts to the drive (dumb drive - voltage to current converter). On a long axis (approximately 1m, in our case), this would make you jump!!!!
    Could it be a similar phenomonen in your case?

    Laurence

  • Enabling Commenting Tools in embedded mode

    We have own plug-in which provides collaboration capabilities for reviewing documents introducing custom annotations with categorization based on standard Acrobat annotation feature. However Commenting tool is not available in post 6 Acrobat versions when Acrobat runs in embedded mode. I suspect that Adobe suppressed the feature to avoid competition from similar to our solutions. Adobe also discontinued earlier Acrobat versions so our big customers have quite serious problem now, because they can't buy newer Acrobat . . So I am interested if somebody from Adobe senior level engineering or sales reads the forum and can contact me to resolve the issue. Again if some developers know how to enable Commenting tool from plug-in when Acrobat is running embedded, then please share your experience.

    I'm not certain drog is going to get what he want here. It sounds like he doesn't want to write a plugin to create Adobe annotations, but rather his plugin is capturing annotation information when the Adobe tools place and/or modify annotations.
    That's not going to work in a browser unless Adobe changes what's allowed in the browser. If I'm not mistaken, Adobe tools will not create or modify annotations when the PDF is viewed in a browser. The user can always save the file to disk and open it directly with Acrobat (or Reader if it's comment enabled) to get access to the Adobe commenting tools.
    Perhaps that's what drog should do - have his plugin give instructions to the user to save to disk and open directly with Acrobat/Reader. It's fairly simple to recognize when the PDF is viewed in a browser. If this approach is not acceptable to his workflow, then drog is going to have to re-invent the wheel and write a custom annotation handler to add/modify annotations.
    Hope this helps

  • Can I jump between two presentations without exiting presentation mode?

    is it possible to quickly jump between two separate presentations without having to go out of presentation / play mode ??

    OUCH! Random access in Keynote is difficult. It is essentially a linear presentation format. However, IF you want to do this only once, there might be a workaround:
    Create a slide in presentation A that has a black rectangle that covers the entire slide; it could be any slide number, but most likely should be the last slide in the presentation to make it easier to find in a hurry. Make this your Hyperlink to presentation B. (see previous response)
    Then, while showing presentation A, when you want to go to B, press the = (equal) key to display the slide selector on the preview display monitor; select the Hyperlink slide and go to it; click on the slide and that will trigger the hyperlink to B. By the way, it will look better if the first slide in presentation B also is all black to mask the transition.
    The problem, however, will be returning to A where you left-off. There is another workaround for this. First create another black slide and make this #1 in presentation A. Then create a hyperlink at the end of B that will take you back to A, slide 1. Again, use the slide selector to take you back to the slide where you left-off previously. (When you first leave presentation A, be sure you know which slide number you left, so that you can return there (or the next slide) when you come back.)
    Yes, it is cumbersome. Yes, it will not be seamless: there will be some pauses while you are selecting the proper slides and making the transitions. Yes, it should be easier. And, yes, it will be even more difficult to do this more than once (if you can do it at all) in a presentation.
    Good luck.

    We can inquire further, but the IdeaPad product line does not support VT presently.  As it is not marketed as specifically having this feature, this will likely be seen as a future requirement rather than a bug to fix.

    I don't think you can, call forwarding is enabled by Verizon here in the states.  Maybe check with your carrier?

  • Problem reading PXI-2503 channels above 23 in 1-Wire 48x1 Mux mode in Linux

    I'm having trouble getting relay positions above 23 in the 1-wire 48x1 mode
    % nilsdev | grep 2503
    NI PXI-2503: "Dev1"
    The topology is set to "2503/1-Wire 48x1 Mux" via the following API, using device "Dev1"
      DAQmxSwitchSetTopologyAndReset(device,topology)
    In theory that means there are 48 inidividual relays than can be read, however, the following fails:
     switchname = "/Dev1/ch47"
     DAQmxSwitchGetSingleRelayPos(switchName, &pos)
    The error returned is:
    DAQmx Error: Relay name is invalid.
    Relay Name: ch47
    Status Code: -200202
    which is
        #define DAQmxErrorInvalidRelayName   (-200202)
    I am unable to get the relay position for anything above relay 23  ( /Dev1/ch23 )
    Is that the expected behaviour, or is there a driver or hardware issue ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When using this switch in "1-wire" mode, we are essentially breaking each (+)/(-) pair into their own channels.  Since this topology utilizes double pole, single throw switches whose individual terminals cannot be switched independently, another switch is introduced to decide which side of the switch is being accessed as what point in time, (+) or (-).
    Instead of having 48 single pole single throw, we can have 24 double pole single throw and one single pole double throw to decide which polarity we're referencing.  You can still utilize this topology in a 48x1 1-wire mode.  
    To manually switch using DAQmx relay commands, you will have to specify the channel switch and the polarity switch as Maggie mentioned.  When you call "DAQmxSwitchConnect /Dev1/ch47 /Dev1/com0", the driver knows to close the ch 24 relay in addition to "HLSELECT" AND "1WIRE" to route only the positive terminal (effectively ch.47).
    The NI Switches Help document contains a more detailed explanation of the topology if you navigate to Devices >> NI PXI-2501/2503 >>

  • Vrf aware dmvpn with ipsec profile breaks while enabling authentication in EIGRP named mode

    Hi Friends,
    I build a vrf aware dmvpn using IPSec profile and I got the DMVPN and IPSec crypto as UP and able to do advertise using EIGRP.
    But the crypto and DMVPN breaks while I enabled the authentication in EIGRP named mode.
    Once i remove the authentication, it works fine.
    Any advice, how to solve this issue ? Any crypto commands need to add to make this work ?
    Regards
    Riyas Rasheed

    Hi,
    I attached the config I did, till I apply the authentication in EIGRP,
    once I applied the below config, the dmvpn will break
    ""router eigrp EIGRP
    add ipv4 autonom 45678
    af-interface tu0
    authentication mode hmac-sha256 KEY""
    See any more configs I need to add in the crypto to make the dmvpn  up.
    Thanks

  • Fire Wire Target Disk Mode

    I Have a MacBook Pro 2010 that I have put into FireWire target disk mode. Is there any way to just copy the entire hardrive onto my other MacBook Pro rather than going through the entire hard drive and transferring everything separately?

    Once in TDM you can perform any type of file transfer/backup that you could do with any other mounted disk. However, if you wish to copy everything to your other computer then you need a way to keep the contents apart from your regular computer. Maybe you could tell me what it is you wish to accomplish with transferring the TDM drive to your other computer.
