PXIe-1062Q Powerup option

I have a PXIe-1063Q and it is connected to a separate PC by MXI Express x4 board. I want to automatically power-on the chassis before the PC is turned on and have it power off automatically when the PC is shut down.
I have tried using the MXI Express x4 board to power on the chassis. However the program I downloaded from the NI support forums (Document ID:3X9GNCD8-MXI Express x1/x4 for PXI Express Powerup Options) couldn't detect the system controller thus it couldn't work.
I can power-on the chassis automatically by using the Inhibit Mode Switch but cannot have it turned off (unless I use the Remote Inhibit and Voltage Monitoring connector). If I turn off the switch using circuit breaker without powering off the chassis first, will it bring any damages to the PXI? Is there any other way to cope with this problem?

Never mind. Figured it out. I need to press the power button for several seconds and then it turns off.

ADLINK PXIe-3985 Controller - NI PXIe-1062Q Chassis Compatibility

Hello forum members!
we recently purchased a PXIe-3985 ADLINK PXIe Embedded controller to be installed in a NI PXIe-1062Q PXIe chassis. In our system is also present a NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module, installed in the chassis timing slot (4). Windows 7 installation, NI MAX toolsuite and NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module driver installation worked fine, but we discovered that the CPU is not able to recognize the TIMING SLOT. We cannot generate any PXI STAR signal with our NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module because it appears that the TIMING SLOT is recognized as normal peripheral slot. The PXI trigger lines and clocks are working well and usable, but not the PXI STAR signals.
I also tried to install the PXIe Chassis in the NIMAX toolsuite as explained in the PXIPLATFORM _50-17049-100_200.pdf document from ADLINK.
basically in the NIMAX device and interface tab I right click and try to add the pxie chassis.
First it is not understandable how can I find the bus identifier root of the chassis. There is a PXI bus tree, but no evidence of the PXI bus related to the chassis.
Furthermore even if I select one PXI bus, the NI PXIe-1062Q PXIe chassis is not listed and trying to load the corresponding .ini file from C://programs/nationl instruments/PXI/PXIe Chassis/ returns the error “Could not import Chassis information. Error Code 0xFFFB380E”
is the ini file working at all for my PXIe chassis? is there another procedure that I must follow to have my timing controller working or the chassis installed?
We definitely need this capability to test our equipment and I would like to know if there are known incompatibility issues between these three devices:
PXIe-3985 ADLINK PXIe Embedded controller
NI PXIe-1062Q PXIe chassis
NI PXIe-6672 Timing Module
And in case if there is an update or workaround which solves the issue.
The system has Win7 32bit installed.
Many thanks to every answering user

Hi emanuele83,
which version of PXI Platform Service do you use?
Can you please upgrade to a current version?
Here is a download link:

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.

Instrument I/O Assistant with PXIe-1062Q

Hello,
I'm using a PXIe-1062Q with LabVIEW 2009 installed on it. In the Measurement & Automation Explorer the chassis is visible, as well as the two PXIe-6363 cards I built in. Even th self test of the 6363 works without any failures.
My Problem is, that after if I insert an Instrument I/O Assistant 1.01 in LabVIEW, and click on Select an instrument, the two PXIe-6363 don't appear in the list. Only Com1 and LTP1 is listed.
What shall I do? Thank you very much for your support!
Kind regards, Michael

The 6363 is programmed with DAQmx functions. You would use the DAQ Assistant.

Can you have PXIe 1062Q turn on without using the power button

I am using a PXIe-1062Q for a test project that will be inside of a protective case. The power button to the chassis will be covered by a plate on the protective case that will make it annoying and difficult to power on using the power button on the chassis. The chassis will be plugged into a trip-lite power strip that is mounted in the case. Is there any way that I can have the chassis power on when I turn on the power strip?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found an alternate route. Under the BIOS of the controller I changed the AC power Loss settings to TURN on after the AC power is returned. This allows me to use the power strip in my configuration to control the AC power distributed to the controller. The following steps will describe how I completed this.
Power on the PXIe-8115 controller.
A message will appear on your monitor Press <DEL> to enter SETUP
Select "delete" (quickly, because you don't have much time before the window disappears and the controller continues to load normally.
This will open up the BIOS Main Menu
Select Advanced tab ( use arrow keys to highlight different tabs and selections, select specific setting to change with "enter"
Select >>Power/Rest Configuration
Change configuration to power on when AC power is restored.
The controller can be shut down normally using the start menu and "shut down"
The chassis's power button is still capable of turning on the power to the controller, but now when I shut off the AC power strip, and then return the power, the chassis controller powers up.

Pxie-1062q remote power up and power down

Hi All
I'm using a PXIe-1062q chassis with PXIe-8108 controller. I plan to mount the chassis inside a cabinet, therefore it will be difficult to gain access to the small white power on/off button on the front of the PXI chassis. Is there a way I can gain access to the power on/off by way of the DB9 connector on the back of PXI chassis?
I've already tried the inhibit switch on the DB9 connector and it simply cuts the power to the PXI and does not shut it down properly.
Thanks in advance
Ming

Hi Ming,
I apologize for my confusion regarding the functionality of the DB9 inhibit switch versus the white power button. I must have misinterpreted the descriptions in the User Manual. It seems that the white power button can hibernate the system whereas the DB9 inhibit switch just cuts off the power. In order to properly shut it down without using the white power button you will need to first hibernate or shutdown the computer through the Windows interface, then you can use the DB9 inhibit switch to remotely cutoff the power to the chassis and later turn it back on. I am not aware of another simple 'one press button' type way to remotely hibernate the PXI controller.
Since your chassis is located in a cabinet you could run keyboard and monitor cables to the device to interface with it. Alternately, you could connect the chassis to the internet and use Remote Desktop to shut it down.

Hello,
Is it possible to take another picture of MAX? That one is very pixilated and I can't quite make out the configuration/error. Does the chassis show up? Every now and then MXI compatibility software is needed for certain BIOS versions so this may be the cause. Did the system work ever before?

PXI Remote Monitoring Options ?

I have a PXI 8196 that I have a LabVIEW application running on. Currently I use Windows Remote to Desktop to communicate with the PXI.
I want to see if I can control the application directly via the PC. Here are my two options:
1. Use labview remote panel
2. Webserver
I want to try and use Shared variables. Has anyone done it so far ? I understand my two options are pretty slow. Thanks !
Kudos always welcome for helpful posts

Hi Spartan,
You can certainly use Shared Variables to communicate between multiple computers. The best place to start when attempting to use Shared Variables for the first time is the LabVIEW Help Documentation. There is a How-To section on creating and configuring Shared Variables. This is also a topic covered in our LabVIEW Intermediate Customer Education Course, just in case you wanted to become a resident LabVIEW guru.

Default Administrator password for Windows XP PXIE-1062Q Controller

My PXIE controller was installed and setup with LabView (I assume) at NI. The OS is Windows XP, what is the Administrator password that was set during this process? ie how can I log in to the controller for the first time.
Thanks
Ian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/11/25/easily-login-to-windows-xp-with-no-password-administrator-a...
Basically you press ctrl-alt-del twice when you get the login screen. Hopefully the administrator password hasn't actually been set, so you can just press ok or enter.
This is what I found on two used PXI systems that I bought at auction.
Because this is so simple I would strongly recommend setting an admin password as soon as you can.

How can I control individual pins of VHDCI connector on PXIe-6548?

I need to use the VHDCI interface on slot 3 i.e. NI PXIe-6548 of NI PXIe-1062Q for testing purposes. I need to raise or lower the individual lines from the available 68 lines. Do I need to use VISA to do so?
If not VISA, how do NI-HSDIO VIs that are availble with LabView 2009 help to do so? The MAX test pannel specifies channel 0-15 and 16-31. How are these channels related to the 68 lines?
Solved!

Thanks Keith!
I still have some problems. I appreciate every bit of your help.
How does the in-built ni HSDIO VI take care of the parallel communication protocol. e.g. There are some pins as chip-select, Rd/xWr etc. they need to be raised or lowered according to the operation. Now, I am trying to communicate with the DUT using 9 bit data, 9 bit address.
I tried to write in the DUT using static generation VI. I formed a word of 20 bits according to the mapping of 9 address, 9 data, a chip-select and a RD/xWR and generated that word on the channels 0-19.
But when I tried to read data from DUT, It acquires the same data that was written on 0-19. For a read operation, the active-low chip select is lowered after the rising edge of the clock, RD/xWR is raised, and the respective address lines are raised, then on the next positive edge of the clock the data is sampled. I do not understand how to make all of this happen using Labview. Instead of reading back from the DUT, the VI gives me the same pattern that I generated.
I know how the parallel communication is supposed to happen, but I don't understand how LabView is supposed to be used for this.
Please help.

How to use PXI-8532 in LabVIEW Development Environment?

Ways of synchronizing PXI fpga clock

It seems that there are two different ways of synchronizing the code on the PXI 7852R to the clock of the PXI-1062Q chassis. What is the difference:
1.
As described in http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D108D4AF937524CA862570FF004C2A48?OpenDocument
I'm not quite sure what this actually does: I have a 40 MHz onboard clock on my fpga; is that the one that will be synchronized? Will thus the 10 MHz chassis clock automatically be multiplied to 40 MHz?
2.
Use a single cycle timed loop and choose the chassis 10 MHz clock (or a derived clock from it) as the loop clock
What is the difference between these to ways? What does the first way do exactly (does it also apply to untimed loops)?

Hi tom_ifms,
the first methode synchronizes your 40 MHz clock to the 10 MHz PXI clock. With the second methode the SCTL uses the PXI clock directly.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

PXI cards not detected

I'm using SignalExpress with a NI PXIe-1062Q chassis and the following cards:
PXIe-8360
PXI-4071 DMM
PXIe-6556 waveform generator/analyser
PXI-4110
All cards are detected by NI MAX. However when I create a waveform in SignalExpress, it's unable to see my hardware. It can see the 4071.
I'm following the correct startup procedure of booting the chassis first, then booting my PC.
Any suggestions?

Hello AidanFrost,
The reason for this could probably be that you may not have the correct drivers installed. Which drivers do you have on you computer at the moment ?
