R series intelligent DAQ, NI-Compact RIO , NI single board RIO

Hi,
I'm in the phase of choosing an FPGA to use in programming some DSP modules. The thing is that while I'm reading about the different technologies to be used, I find it difficult to know how will these devices be connected to my PC and programmed. For example, when using R series intelligent DAQs, do I have to get a compact RIO as well , or can I get a PCI-bus R - DAQ and connect it to the PC.
Some clarification of how to use each of these devices will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Walid

Just to elaborate on what Venkatesh said
With a compact RIO you will connect your PC to the RIO using Ethernet, direct through a cross over or through a network hub.
This introductory video will teach you how to install, configure, and program the latest NI CompactR...
A PCI R series card, just plugs straight into your Windows computer PCI slot.
A PXI card will plug into a PXI chassis and will give you one of 2 programming options
1. If you have a PXI system controller running Windows XP with the appropriate drivers and version of LV you can program the FPGA directly in the PXI chassis
2. You can connect to the PXI chassis through Ethernet and program the FPGA from there.
Compiling and deploying your program will work the same no matter what connection you use.

NGSA2 c code in my single board RIO

Hi,
I want to introduce several c code in order to have an intelligent controller in my single board RIO. I have read that i have to put it in a shared library in the VxOS of the RIO, but the instructions to do this are quite "dirty". Is not there any other solution??

Peper,
You are actually referencing the previous generation of sbRIO's manual in this post. It is a bit confusing at that manual was labeled 963x. If you go to the sbRIO-9636's product page, you can select "Resources" and get to the prodcut manuals from there. Here is the sbRIO-9636's manual.
The Sleep I/O item allows C Series module to enter a sleep mode, not the sbRIO controller itself; therefore, the sbRIO-9636 does not have a Sleep I/O item under the FPGA target in the LabVIEW Project.
If you want to go into a lower power state, you can stop the FPGA bitfile from running which should lower the power consumption (you can do this with the FPGA Abort invoke node with the FPGA Interface that runs on RT).

Single Board Rio: sleep mode unavailable

Hi,
I bought a Single Board RIO 9636 which is to be used in a battery-powered system. Hence, power consumption is critical.
I hoped I could use the sleep mode that is mentionned here (p29) and here but the "sleep I/O item" does not appear in the Labview project.
Do I have to do something special to make this I/O appear in the FPGA I/O?
Does my SBRIO support sleep mode?
Any idea of the kind of power consumption I can achieve with sleep mode on? Is there a big difference compared to regular mode?
Best regards,
peper

CANopen with single board RIO sbRIO 9606

Hello,
I am searching for any support considering CANopen functionality applied on single board RIO sbRIO 9606.
There are some tutorials for cRIO using FPGA, but is it possible to translate the known PDOs or SDOs to the format which can be than used with the available Embedded CAN for sbRIO?
Thank you in advance for any comment!

Hello Jesse,
that the embedded CAN driver doesn't have the CANopen functionality is clear, but according to the fact that the lower level protocol implementing is usually (CAN) it should be possible to write VI which will allow the usage of CANopen commands combined with the embedded CAN driver for single board RIO. Or?
There are some examples for RIO which do allow CANopen functionality using the CAN module.
Can you please send me additional information considering the basic CANopen master functionality.
Thank you in advance.

Lock in Amplifier on Single Board Rio 9636

Hey Guys,
I have to program a lock in amplifier for an analog signal i get from a microphone with a high SNR.
I have Labview 2012 SP1 and FPGA/RT 2012 and a SBRIO 9636.
I found an example: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-1762
LIA_IPnet_LabVIEW2009.zip
Now I am trying to understand the mostly uncommented code.
Question 1:
Can I use this program with my SBRIO? I prefer this to the SBRIO version on the same page because it is a dual phase LIA.
Question 2:
I added my own zip file were I added some comment boxes (orange background) but I commented in german. Maybe you can tell me if I am right so far. (Mainly in the HostLIA.vi and FPGA_LIA.vi)
Question 3:
Can someone help me to understand the subvi on the FPGA named "costa loop"? For example: What exactly is the code doing in the VCO subvi?
Question 4:
Can someone give me a link to a good document/website which explains the mathematic details of the decimation in a LIA?
(german or english)
If someone has another good working lock in program, please tell me.
Thanks for your help
Stefan

Hello Slev1n,
here is some documentation about the Lock in Amplifier (mathematically):
http://www.thinksrs.com/downloads/PDFs/ApplicationNotes/AboutLIAs.pdf
in general it is possible to configure a cRIO project to a sbRIO project. You just need to configure a new target.

How to configure the lowpass filter integrated to the serie M DAQ (6280)

It's written that for the NI 62xx serie M DAQs, a lowpass filter can be programated (to prevent noise or aliasing), but I can't find where I can configure it ...
I use LV 7.1, DaqMX 7.3 and MAX 3.1.1.3003.
Thanks for your help !
Mathieu

Bonjour,
Effectivement, la valeur du filtre de la carte NI-6280 est 40kHz.
En simulant la carte, j'ai pu faire le test avec le VI joint.
Si ce VI ne fonctionne pas, quelle est le code d'erreur obtenu et à quelle fonction apparaît-il ?

8800 Series / Intelligent Proximity: Calling mobile contacts

Imported the contacts from my mobile phone, but it seems I can only call those contacts when it is initiated from my paired mobile phone. If I disable Bluetooth or try to call from my IP Phone extension, I'm able to view the contacts but the Call softkey is disabled.
Any way around this? Ideally when users are in their offices they'd prefer to make calls from their office line, not their mobile.

Relatório Crystal Reports (Usuário/senha)

Boa Tarde !
Estamos utilizando a conexão OLE DB - Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, mesmo assim este driver está exigindo a senha durante s execução dos relatórios do Crystal Reports através do Menu FerramentasVisualizar "Arquivo Crystal Reports Externo". O SAP esta pedindo usuário e senha todas as vezes que o relatório é exibido, isto é, o Crystal exibe a tela de conexão com o banco de dados pedido a senha antes de exibir o layout.
Estou utilizando o SAP 8.8 PL 19.
Alguém pode me ajudar?

Alex, bom dia.
Isso já me aconteceu algumas vezes, pelo fato do relatório estar configurada em uma outra conexao que a que voce constuma utilizar.
Voce deverá "trocar" a conexao que está gravada no relatório para a conexao que deseja usar.
Lá no Crystal Reports, entre no menu Banco de Dados -> Definir Local de Banco de Dados. No primeiro quadrante clique uma vez no Comando e substitua pela conexao desejada no quadrante abaixo deste. Caso possua sub-relatórios faça o mesmo procedimento e clique em Atualizar. Isso fará com que o relatório fique disponível para a conexao com o seu cliente.
Espero ter ajudado.

Is it a bug or just a typo in Agilent 532XX Series\Public\Data\Low Level\Fetch Measurement (Single).vi?

Hi, All
I am using Agilent 532XX Series driver to read data from a frequency counter. In the low level subVi : \Public\Data\Low Level\Fetch Measurement (Single).vi, "Scan From String" is used to convert the data.
however, if I check the error of this function, it always show me a error with current format string "%.;%g;". after I changed it to "%;%g", I don't get the error anymore.
If anyone use this funtion, please check the error out of that fuction and see what you get.
Regards
CQ

I don't have the instrument, so I can't reproduce it completely, but I've done some research and if there is an error I don't think it's in the string conversion itself. I say this because:
From what I can gather, a typical output string would be the following: +4.27150000E-03
I took just a "scan from string" node and gave it that string as a string input and %.;%g; as the format specifier string. This yielded a numeric value of 0.0042715
So, as far as actually finding the root of the problem, there could be a few things going on. My first thought is some form corruption causing the data received to not be valid for conversion. There are two ways of testing this:
Open up a test panel in MAX and perform a loopback test, as described here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3450/en/#toc4
-or-
Install and open NI IO Trace and view the bus traffic as detailed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/282C5D41E2BA04F2862574BA007803B9
If the loopback tests works properly, go ahead and run the IO trace and post the results here.

Viewing files on CRIO

HI,
I have been using the RT Write Text File found in the following link. This demonstrates how to read and write to a text file on the cRIO and what I want to do is verify that the file is being created and that the appropriate data is being stored. How would I go about viewing files on the cRIO? I've been looking into using the NI Web-Based Configuration and Monitoring but I'm having issues with this. If someone can give me a bit of assistance that would be great.
So far I've been through Max, clicked on the NI-RIO and added the developer computer into the Remote Device Access. Also from the project window, I have added the same IP address under the VI Server in the project window and clicked the enable remote panel server under the Web Server.
I also have a question regarding to what happens to the data in a sudden shut down?
Solved!

EtherCAT with single-board RIO

Hi,
I wondered whether single-board RIO in any of the configurations supports EtherCAT communication. The area of application I am looking at is mobile robotics/vehicle control. I need to run a program on a master that executes control algorithms based on data from multiple sensors in the vehicle. The needed bandwidth is quite high (min 2.4 Mbps with main control loop executing at 2 kHz) While the Master Controller can be quite bulky, the slaves (nodes) would have to placed at various locations at the vehicle and weight/space saving is crucial. I wondered if I can use Single-Board RIO for such setup. I would welcome any ideas.
Best regards,
Maciek

Hi Maciek,
The SOM supports NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCAT. You would need to design a carrier board to utilize SoM in your specific application. As for the 2kHz execution loop, there are multiple factors to determine if this is possible, but given benchmarks the EtherCAT team has run, the fastest achievable speed 350 us with 9 bytes of data. You may be able to achieve this speed depending on the amount of data you're attempting to push through the network. However, these benchmarks were performed only running the EtherCAT master code, with no other RT application running. This will have an effect on the execution loop you can achieve.

Flatten to json causes sb-rio to disconnect

Hi there, I'm having a problem that I've never seen before and was hoping that somone could shed some light on it.
I have been using a vi with the following code on my 9606 single board rio.
This vi sends data to a web service and works as I would expect in the above format. However, I was wanting to change from using xml to using json. I swapped the two 'flatten to xml' vis with 'flatten to json' vis, and kept everything else the same, so now my code looks like this.
However, when I run this code, it seems to affect my sb-rio somehow. It seems to deploy fine at first, but then when the vi starts running I get a message saying that the connection to the target has been lost.
After this point my software will no longer connect to the sb-rio and when I connect to it via MAX I see that it says "safe mode - Software error". I have to restart the device in order to be able to connect to it again.
I have repeated this several times, changing it back to 'flatten to xml' and it works fine. Change it to 'flatten to json' and it disconnects and puts the sb-rio in this 'safe mode'. Nothing else is changing that I can see in between tests.
Does anyone know what might be causing this issue and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Hello vascibean,
I have understood that you have made no changes what so ever to the hardware/software connections while changing the functions from 'Flatten to XML' to 'Flatten to JSON'. When use the former function, you establish the connection between your 9606 single board RIO and the code works as expected. This is not true when using the 'Flatten to JSON' function.
Could you let us know what version of LabVIEW you're using as we may have come across this problem or something similar previously. You could try altering the code so that the 'data' control is a cluster input. The following manual gives a breif description of what this function can accept as its inputs.
(http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361K-01/glang/flatten_to_json/)
If this does not resolve the problem and you still get problems establishing a connection with the amended code let me know and we will look further into it.
Hope this helps,
