Register Level DMA programming for NI6533

I am writing a register level driver (LynxOS) for the NI6533. I have the DAQ DIO register map (http://www.ni.com/pdf/daq/us/release_ni6533.pdf) but it does not list registers for the DMA controller chip.
Is there a manual that describes how to setup the DMA registers for this board?
Thanks,
- Larry

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the MITE RLPM, that was the missing piece.
I am now having trouble getting two NI6533's to handshake. One is in a PCI x86 box running LynxOS, and the other is in a desktop PC. For the latter I'm using the Examples:Harware Input and Output:Traditional DAQigital Input and Output:653x examples from LabView 7. Specifically, the Buffered Handshake Output.vi and Cont Handshake Output.vi.
The Cont Handshake Output vi is timing out at 1 second intervals waiting for the write to complete, so I'm assuming from this that no handshaking is occurring.
I can toggle the data lines statically and that looks OK in both directions. I've set the exchangePins bit=1 to swap the ACK/REQ signals on the LynxOS side.
I've attache
d a file that prints the register settings for all of the DIO registers on the LynxOS side. Perhaps you can spot something that's not right?
Also, I'm confused about the delay register settings. The manual states you can adjust the programmable delay from 0 to 700ns in 100ns increments. Yet all of the delay registers show 8-bits. I assume then that only the lower 3 bits are used.
The examples dio_ex12.cpp and dio_ex13.cpp set the group1ReqDelay=3, group1RegNotDelay=2, group1AclDelay=2, and group1AckNotDelay=2, which are consistent with this assumption. However, they set the group1DataDelay=100, which is not consistent. Is this register different than the others?
Thanks,
- Larry

Register Level Programmer Manual for M Series

I am using M Series 6221 DAQ and unable to find the Register Level Programmer Manual for it. The E series manual is quite a detailed one (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/341079b.pdf) , Can you please point me to a similar document for M series ..

Hello ,
      I was directed to the same websites by the Application
Engineer earlier too.
I have been using the C++ code. The code is highly complex
and without any comments. Its very difficult to reverse
engineer it. Its a practice that code is written by refering
the manual , instead of understanding the working from code.
Its unbelivable that NI is selling this product without proper
docuemntation.
Anyways, My problem right now is :
Info
1. Using a x86 SBC based PC with ThreadX as operating system
2. I want to use Port1 and Port2 as DI. Able to read from Port1 and Port2 by following the program.
3. Channel 0 and Channel 1 as On Demand AI (RSE) for sensing 2 different parameters
   in the range of 0V to 10V.
4. Want to read a single sample from both the channels.
5. Unable to read from Channel 0 and Channel 1 correctly yet.
Questions:
1. I am using aiex1.c program to acquire Analog signal .
    - numberOfChannels = 2 and numberOfSamples = 1
    - not using adcReset(board)
    - aiPersonalize (board, tMSeries::tAI_Output_Control::kAI_CONVERT_Output_SelectActive_High);
    - aiConfigureChannel (board,
                                        Channel number 0 and 1 one after the other
                                        0 gain
                                       tMSeries::tAI_Config_FIFO_Data::kAI_Config_PolarityBipolar,
                                        tMSeries::tAI_Config_FIFO_Data::kAI_Config_Channel_TypeRSE,
                                        Channel 1 is last channel )
- As Is aiConvert (board,
                                 280,     // convert period divisor
                                 280,     // convert delay divisor
                                 kFalse);
  Any idea if i am not conguring or missing something ???
As the acquired value i read is incorrect
2. Suppose i configure Channel 0 and Channel 1, And want to acquire only from
   Channel 0 , What to do for it ?
3. If acquisations happens from both the Channels , How do i know which data is acquired
    from the Channel 0 and Channel 1 in the FIFO ?
4. Is there a method to read data directly from ADC instead of reading it from FIFO ?
5. If there is input signal at Port0 (configured as DI), Can a interrupt be triggered ?
6. How to make AI interrput based ?
Thanks,
Irfan

Register level programing of the 6601 counter to connect signals to the rtsi bus

I have need for more than 4 clocks and have several 6601 counter boards. I would like to use an additional board for the extra clock but need to send signals to the this board from the other. The most efficent way seems to be to use the rtsi bus to connect the 2 boards together. I am programing the counter boards at the register level using a kernel module in linux. The register level porgramming manual explains how to connect different signals to the sourse pins of the clocks including the rtsi signals. I have been successful in doing this but can not find info on how to route the output signal of one clock to the input of another using the rtsi bus. Using web search I have seen ways to do this using labview and dqmx calls but nothing for programin at the register level. Thanks for any help on this problem.

Remap PCI 6509 below 1 MB (Register Level)

Hi All,
my name is Wolfgang and I ask fo your help with Regiser Level Programming of the PCI 6509
I refer to this manual:
DAQ
Static DIO Register-Level Programmer Manual
for NI 6509, 651x, 6520, 6521, and 6528 Devices
found here: ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/manuals/371580a.pdf
Accoding to chapter 3 I want to remap the device below 1 MB to 0xD0000 (PCI MITE adress) and 0xD1000 (device adress)
I do the following steps according to page 3-3:
1.) "CWrite(0x10,0x000D0000)"
I do this by BIOS Int 1A and it works, I can read it back.
2.) "Write(0xD0340,0x0000AEAE)"
This also works, I can read the values back with the DOS-Tool "debug":
0xD0340 is 0xAE
0xD0341 is 0xAE
0xD0342 is 0
3.) "CWrite(0x14,0x000D1000)"
I also do this by BIOS Int 1A and it works, I can read it back.
4.) "Write(0xD00C0,0x000D1080)"
This step seems to be the problem: After this, the device should be seen at 0xD1000, but it is not there, the space is empty.
When I read the value back I get:
0xD00C0 is 0x80
0xD00C2 is 0x00 instead of the writen value 0x0D
0xD00C3 is 0x00
What is my mistake?
Thank's for all help.
0xD00C1 is 0x10
0xD0343 is 0

Sorry, the text seems to be mixed up then sending.
Let me post this part again:

Single concurrent program for multiple operating units

HI
I am working on XML/BI publisher to generate AR invoice reports.
We have single rdf report using which rtf templates are generated.
There are 10 operating units (10 ORG_ID's) and 10 rtf templates, one for each operating unit. There are 4 different responsibilities for each ORG_ID
Eg: ORG_ID's = 11, 12, 13, 14..........etc
Eg: Responsibility = xx, yy, zz...........etc
I want to register a single concurrent program. When a user submits a request from "XX" responsibility, then the template associated with that org_id should be generated. Whichever responsibility the user is accessing from, that particular template must be shown as output.
How can i register one concurrent program for multiple operating units.
Thanks!

interesting case for 10 OE set 10 template
what is purpose? for each OE different requirements for layout?
BTW
if each Responsibility associated with one org_id then
- you can get current org_id when you run concurrent program
- create main template (will be #11) with condition like
<?choose:?>
<?when: ORG_ID=11?>
<?import:xdo://FND.XX11_SUB.en.00/?>
<?call:TEMPLATE11?>
<?end when?>
<?when: ORG_ID=12?>
<?import:xdo://FND.XX12_SUB.en.00/?>
<?call:TEMPLATE12?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise:?>
<?import:xdo://FND.XX21_SUB.en.00/?>
<?call:TEMPLATE21?>
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>so based on org_id will be import of needed subtemplate
- re-register your "10 rtf templates" as subtemplates
another way is substitution of template for concurrent then it running
in before_report trigger set needed template
l_conc_request_id := fnd_global.conc_request_id;
    if ORG_ID = 11 then
      UPDATE fnd_conc_pp_actions t
         SET t.argument2 = 'XX11'
       where t.concurrent_request_id = l_conc_request_id
         and t.action_type = 6;
if ORG_ID = 21 then
      UPDATE fnd_conc_pp_actions t
         SET t.argument2 = 'XX21'
       where t.concurrent_request_id = l_conc_request_id
         and t.action_type = 6;

Register level programming of interrupts for PCI 6503

Hi all,
I'm basically trying to get an interrupt from the card upon a change in the data of one of the ports (for instance port A) so I can catch pulse signals without having to poll the pins manually at a high rate. I can't figure out from the documentation and examples whether this is actually possible using register level programming (can't use the DAQmX libraries because I use InTime OS). I can set the appropriate bits of the Interrupt Registers in order to enable the two interrupts (A and B), but I'm not sure what condition generates these interrupts.
Additionally, I want to be able to send out a pulse on a pin and have it automatically cleared by the board.
As far as I can tell both of my requirements mean using the card in strobed mode, but the code examples don't give enough information how to work in this mode. Do i have to use the handshaking mechanism somehow and if so, how is this better for me over using static i/o and manually checking pin values?
Any help or referrence would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Orr

Hi Orr,
The best source of information for this device is its user manual [1], and Appendix B discusses the register map and programming considerations.
Speaking specifically to interrupts, please refer to PDF page 43 (B-2), emphasis mine:
Two software-controlled registers determine which devices, if any, generate interrupts. Each of the 82C55A devices has two interrupt lines, PC3 and PC0, connected to the interrupt circuitry. On the PCI-DIO-96 and PXI-6508, the 82C53 device has two of its three counter outputs connected to the interrupt circuitry. Any of these 10 signals can interrupt the computer if the interrupt circuitry is enabled and the corresponding enable bit is set. Refer to the Programming Considerations for the 82C53 section for more information. Normally, the handshaking circuitry controls PC3 and PC0 of the 82C55A devices; however, you can configure either of these two lines for input and then use them as external interrupts. An interrupt occurs on the signal line low-to-high transition."
The pages following that section describe the interrupt control registers and give pseudo-code examples for configuring them.
Once we clear this obstacle, let's move on to your output questions.

Documentation for register level programming of PCI-62XX cards

I'm looking for documentation for register level programming of PCI-62xx series cards. Does such a document exist?
Thanks

Scott,
At this time we do not have a comprehensive M Series RLP manual available. I was not aware of any plans to deliver this document last month, so you may have been given some incorrect information, in which case I apologize. Currently, we provide the register map along with several examples showing how to program the boards for different types of operations. If you have any specific questions, you can post them to this forum where our developers and other customers can help out. I hope this helps.

How to do register-level programming for NI6025E when I want to acquire single scan incuding multiple input channels?

How to do register-level programming for NI6025E when I want to acquire single scan incuding multiple input channels?

Thanks, Alan, I think I indeed need to combine aiex1.cpp and aiex2.cpp. I made a change to Configure_Board of aiex1.cpp as follows:
//Call this function to configure board options.
void Configure_Board(tSTC *theSTC,tESeries *board)
//Clear configuration memory
theSTC->Write_Strobe_0.writeRegister(0x0001);
//Clear ADC FIFO
theSTC->Write_Strobe_1.writeRegister(0x0001);
//Writing to Config_Memory_High_Register for channel 1 settings
board->ConfigFifoHigh.setChannel(0);
board->ConfigFifoHigh.setBank(0);
board->ConfigFifoHigh.setChannelType(board->ConfigFifoHigh.kChannelTypeRSE);
board->ConfigFifoHigh.flush();
//Writing to Config_Memory_Low_Register for following channel 1 settings
board->ConfigFifoLow.setLastChannel(0);
board->ConfigFifoLow.setGeneralTrigger(0);
board->ConfigFifoLow.setGain(board->ConfigFifoLow.kGain001_0);
board->ConfigFifoLow.setPolarity(board->ConfigFifoLow.kPolarityBipolar);
board->ConfigFifoLow.setDither(0);
board->ConfigFifoLow.flush();
//Writing to Config_Memory_High_Register for following channel 0 settings
board->ConfigFifoHigh.setChannel(1);
board->ConfigFifoHigh.setBank(0);
board->ConfigFifoHigh.setChannelType(board->ConfigFifoHigh.kChannelTypeRSE);//RSE mode
board->ConfigFifoHigh.flush();
//Writing to Config_Memory_Low_Register for following channel 0 settings
board->ConfigFifoLow.setLastChannel(1);
board->ConfigFifoLow.setGeneralTrigger(0);
board->ConfigFifoLow.setGain(board->ConfigFifoLow.kGain001_0);
board->ConfigFifoLow.setPolarity(board->ConfigFifoLow.kPolarityBipolar);//BIPOLAR
board->ConfigFifoLow.setDither(0);
board->ConfigFifoLow.flush();
return;
and a change to test(iBus *bus):
do
  uStatus = theSTC->AI_Status_1.readRegister();
  if (!((uStatus & 0x1000) == 0x1000))
  uValue[i] = board->AIFifoData.readRegister();
   i++;
} while(i<1);
printf("Value %d is %6.2f\n",0,FindADDouble(uValue[0]));
printf("Value %d is %6.2f\n",1,FindADDouble(uValue[1]));
but it doesn't work, why?
How shoud I do?

Register level programming for USB 6008

I am trying to work with USB 6008 in a linux environment without using DAQmxbase drivers. Since Comedi presently doesn't support USB 6008 device, I am considering writing the driver for USB 6008 myself. Is the register level programming of USB 6008 device possible? Where can i find the related documents and examples?

Ni 6602 Card, Configuration in Register Level Programming

Hello,
I want to do register level programming with the NI 6602 card .
I want to use an x4 encoder reader and I want to use the continuous
frequency generation.
so i got the following tool to map the kernel space to the user space, so
a simple shell script will do the job.
http://www.linux.it/~rubini/software/phob/phob.html
and than just using the provided function phob_io
to programm the registers in a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
# shell script for init 6602 card with prf and encoder counter
# set prf
../phob_io ''0:048=0000'' # Input Select Register
../phob_io ''0:00C=1109'' # Command Register
../phob_io ''0:038=00ffffff'' # Load A Register
../phob_io ''0:03C=00ffffff'' # Load B Register
../phob_io ''0:
034=9218'' # Mode Register
But don"t get any output as i expect, what is wrong?
Do i have to set some othe registers, or write somthing to the PCI-Config?
Does anyone has some sample configuration?
Thanks

A typical project for one of the 660x RLP examples needs to include the following source code files:
../OSinterface/osiBus.cpp - generic register I/O interface used by the example code
../OSinterface/Linux/osiUserCode.cpp - OS specific adapter used by osiBus to access registers on the hardware in the specific OS
../ChipObjects/tTIO.cpp - abstraction of the chips and registers on the hardware into C++ classes and properties
and one of the examples files, e.g.
../Examples/gpct_ex1.cpp - implementation of a specific operation, including all initialization of the hardware
(The same is true for the examples for other boards although the names of the ChipObject and examples will be different.)
Each of these files needs to be compiled to give y
ou object files, and then all of the object files need to be linked together to build an application (executable binary). The errors you list seem to indicate that you are not using all of these files.
There is more information on the RLP example architecture in the attached PDF document.

How can I communicate PXI-6509 by Static DIO Register-Level Programming?

- How can I communicate PXI-6509 by Static DIO Register-Level Programming?
PXI-6509 physically Port0 is connected to Port1.
For checking all connections are correct for this case so I have used DAQmx Test Panel. Just in case everything is ok.
  In this case I interested in to communicate the PXI6509 by Register-Level Programming.
I have tried to use Open VISA Test Panel for sending and reading data (in MAX explorer) and
use NI-Spy for checking communication data.
The first step I configured Port0 to Outputs state and Port1 to Inputs state.
The second step I setup Port0 to 0xAA.
  The third step I read back Port1 and expected data will be 0xAA but just only 0x0. Why???

660x DIO Register Level Programming

I am working on a comedi/linux driver for the 6602, and can't figure out how to access the other 24 DIO lines (the ones shared with counter/timer).
Firstly, I want to use the DIO lines for output, so I must configure them as such. The RLPM doesn't say anything more than a hint about how to configure these lines .
It seems the answer lies in using 2 bits to set to IO_Config Register(s). The RLPM says that these registers contain 2 bits for configuration direction, but only lists functionality for 00 and 01; not 10 or 11. Is it possible that setting 11 or 10 sets these PFI lines for DIO?

Pci-6703 Register-Level Programming

We wanna use the analog output channels of the 6703 and configure for DC Voltage for my application without NI-DAQ function.
I have searched in NI website. but there is no PDF file or document file about register-level programming.
It's important for us, we must program drivers and functions byself.
How can I do?
Thanks

Register Level programming of the AT-DIO-32HS

I am working with a piece of software that was written using the AT-DIO-32F card. The original programmer did NOT use the National Instruments driver with that card, but rather used a software library that allowed him to access and manipulate the registers directly on that board. The name of the library is called NTPORT (http://www.zealsoft.com/ntport/index.html). He did this because he was not able to meet the timing requirements using the NI driver.
We have to replace the AT-DIO-32F card with the AT-DIO-32HS card, and I would like to know if I can continue to do register level programming with the 32HS card. I have found that I also can not meet my timing requirements using the driver that comes along with the 32HS card.
I checked this web page (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B08F4125A9325B3F862565CC0073E68F?OpenDocument), and did not find the AT-DIO-32HS listed. Does this mean I can not program its' registers ?
Any feedback would be appreciated !!
Thanks !!

Hi Raminta-
The Measurement Hardware Driver Development Kit (MHDDK) provides examples and register documentation for the 653x devices (which includes the AT-DIO-32HS). The DIO-32F and DIO-32HS devices are quite similar, so it is possible that your existing code will work. The resources on the MHDDK page should help you fill in any differences.
