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?
Cdlt

Bonjour CindyF,
Le driver NI-488.2 est déjà installé.
Je joins une capture ecran MAX de la config PC et châssis PXI.

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/index-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:

PXI-8108

I am using NI PXI 8108 Embedded controller which is Windows 7 professional configured.When it is powered ON starting it shows following error,
"This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hard ware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is falling make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.
if you continue to recevive this error message,contact the hardware manufacturer
file:\boot\BCD
status:0*c00000e9
info :unexpexted i/o error has occured."
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
Please remember to accept any solutions and give kudos, Thanks

Ethernet to GPIB vs PXI to GPIB

Hi,
i am in a process of building a test system , i have a requirment to add a GPIB interface to the system.
i have nailed down to ethernet or PXI solutions for al instruments.
i find there are both ethernet and PXI option for this.
can any one please justify the advantage/disadvantage(ethernet to GPIB vs PXI to GPIB) on using one over the other.
Thanks in advance
Bharathi

I have never used the Ethernet/GPIB converter. But I don't like the idea of bus converters. I don't even care for the USB/GPIB converter. There's just too many things that can go wrong when going between different communication schemes.
I have used the PXI and PCI GPIB adapter and never had an issue. They just use up a slot in yoru computer or PXI chassis.

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.
Thanks

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?

Unrecognized PXI-8232 GPIB/ENET card

Hello
I recently installed a PXI-8232 card into my PXI-1036 RT Chassis. MAX is not recognizing the card was there. I installed NI-488.2 RT 3.1.2 onto the RT chassis but still no luck with recognition. MAX does find something called PXI-GPIB "GPIB0" under "Devices and Interfaces" but when I click on that, everything that could possibly help ("Scan For Instruments", "Interactive Control", "GPIB Analyzer", even the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting utility from the right-click menu) is grayed-out. The card is in slot 3, but as evidenced in the second image, MAX doesn't see it. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Zack

Hi zack.deland,
Can you upload a MAX Technical Report?
Instructions to do so can be found here:

PXIe 8135 GPIB

I am trying to connect an ENA series Agilent network analyser to my PXIe 8135 controller, the connectors however are different sizes, is this some sort of mini GPIB port or a national instruments specific port?
Do you know where I can get the correct cable or find the right information about this communication.
Regards

Yes I did but only to check if it was a standard GPIB port, not through the accesories.
So the cable to purchase is the 'X13 GPIB Cable, MicroD25 to Shielded cable/Standard connector, 2M' for £98
Thanks

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,
JoshH

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.
