Selecting SCXI-1122 channels in the Test Panels

All 16 SCXI-1122 channels are multiplexed to channel 0. Is there a way in the Test Panels in MAX to select a specific channel of a SCXI-1122 card in SCXI-1000 chassis so that voltage appears in the test panel?

Paryani,
Look at the attached screenshot. It shows where in the test panel you can select an individual channel and see the voltage.

When installing a NI 5112, I get an error message when running the test panel.

I have recently decided to reinstall my PCI 5112 high speed digitizer in a different computer, for practical reasons. After having installed the software, hardware and successfully passing the self test, an error (10800) occurs when running the test panels. The signal applied to the channel and the different parameters used, worked fine with the previous computer but not with this one. Any idea why?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
The error code you are getting is related to the board not recording enough samples in the given time interval. May I ask which series of PCI card you are using. This can be found by looking at the device in Measurement and Automation Explorer and looking under devices and interfaces. The series letter is the one on the end of the number after the hyphen. E.g. PCI-MIO-16E-4 would be an E-series board.
Also which versions of Measurement and Automation Explorerand NI-Scope are you running? Are these the same versions as you used in the old PC system? Sometimes an upgrade in the version is all that is required to fix such a problem but unfortunately it can sometimes cause a problem if you upgrade! It would depend on the versions you are currently running and the series of the board that you are using.

NI usb6008 why I can't gain the signal in the test panel

hi:
        when I connect the AI0 to the signal generator, I can't see the correct signal in the Test Panel. My Labveiw is 7.0, DAQ is 7.5, computer is Window XP. I doubt that I am wrong with the connection. Because I can get the correct signal in other intrument. So please tell me how to connect the circuit

Can I disable the test panel from 6.8.1?

Is it possible that I can install 6.8.1 drivers (only) without installing the test panel? Or is it possible to disable the test panel after installation?

Ph,
Is there any particular reason why you want to do this? So, let me make it clear, you do want to have Measurement and Automation Explorer installed, but have the test panels disabled?
I don't know how to disable them, but maybe what you are trying to accomplish can be done in some other way...

When measuring 6 voltage signals in labview I found that there was a difference in voltage signals in my program but not in the test panel. The test panel is correct. What is wrong with my program?

My labview program is not displaying equivelent voltages, but labview test panel is. So the computer is seeing the correct signals. My program is displaying a small difference in 3 out of 6 channels. All channels should be equal.

G'Day Pops,
You haven't really given us enough to go on - could you please post your VI so we can have a look at it?
cheers,
Christopher

Error -10800 (timout) on ni-daq 7.0 when i'm scanning scxi-1122, some time the data pass, but i'm have lot of this error

the same error is present in labview, we have the same proble whit NI-dqa6.9.3,we need to fix rapeldly this problem

Greetings,
Could you provide some more information concerning your problem? How many SCXI-1122s are you using? Which VI is returning the error? Do you see any pattern in the generation of the error? How fast are you scanning? Have you always received the error?

DIO won't work until I use the Test Panel

Here is some strangeness. A program that works fine all of a sudden has an issue on a clean install. I am using a DIO-24 and after the PC has been wiped and and the software including the OS and drivers are reinstalled I get an error trying to access the DIO. Once I open the MAX test panel for the device (DIO-24), wiggle some lines, and close it all is fine. The program will continue to function fine. What "Magic" is happening when I open the DIO-24 in MAX?

I am saying:
Are you saying that after installing the driver and your device you had to open MAX and use test panels before your device would work with your application, and now you can always use your application (even after restarting your computer) without opening MAX? - Yes
Does this behavior only occur with your software, or does it occur with a shipping example too? - I Have not tried to run example after a fresh install so don't know
Are you using LabVIEW to communicate with your device? - Yes LabVIEW 8.0
If so, what version and what driver have you installed. If not, what programming language are you using? - NI DAQmx 8.0 for Feb 2006 Disk
Is this driver version the same that you had installed when you developed your application? - No, previous version
What operating system are you working on? - XP
Do you need MAX open to run your application, or do you just need to run it before your application? - Just run once and close before running application
Any additional information you can provide about what you are experiencing would be helpful.
I spoke the the engineer who gave me the information and he said it happens only some of the time. Most systems come up fine but a few require that MAX before the app will run correclty.

Hi Arien,
Parthabe is right, next time, try to create a new thread.
So when others try to search for a topic, they can actually find it.

I am now in France, and my iphone will not audibly ring. I can set the volume. I can select a ring tone, and the test works fine. I can turn on/off the vibrate, but incoming calls only vibrate.

My iPhone does not ring on any signals. The incoming calls only vibrate.

What have you done to troubleshoot thus far? Restart, reset, restore?

Why can i NOT use "differential" on the MAX test panel for channels 8-16??

I have a USB-6218
This is a 32 channel device with 16 Differential inputs.
Why can't i use the MAX test panel to view any channel beyond AI-7 using the Differential setting? It shades out differential even though my device has this capability.
WHY????

I am using MAX 4.1.0.3001 in conjunction with LV 8.0 and the USB-6218.
I go to MAX, Expand devices, expand MX devices, Right click on the USB-6218 (device2), and go to the test panels.
From there i am unable to view any differential pair beyond 8.
How am i supposed to Thru-Calibrate my equipment? Generally to achieve a valid calibration i use MAX itself to record the raw voltages the board "sees" as i apply known loads to the sensors.
The reason i need to check all this out is because DIFF pairs > 8 also are not working in my VI! Im am not sure if this is related or not.

NI-DAQmx task works in MAX or DAQ Assistant test panel but not in LabVIEW

I am attempting to read a single AI channel from a PCI-6024E card via an SCB-68. I have created a NI-DAQmx Analog Input Voltage Task in MAX for this channel, sampling in contiuous aquisition mode at 100 kHz, 10000 samples at a time, with RSE terminal config. If I use the Test feature from MAX, the channel acquires data as expected.
In LabVIEW, I call this task using an DAQmx Task Name Constant. If I right-click this constant and select "Edit Task", the Daq Assistant opens and I can use the Test feature from the DAQ Assistant to see that the data is still being acquired as expected.
However, when I try to programmatically read this channel in LabVIEW using the VI "DAQmx Read (Analog Wfm 1Chan NSamp).vi", the VI returns a constant DC value of 500 mV, which I know is incorrect (I can monitor the signal across the two terminals in the SCB-68 with a DMM to know that the signal coming in varies as expected, and as I read using the test panels). This erroneous reading occurs even if I make a new VI, drop the task name constant on the diagram, right-click the task name constant and select "Generate Code - Example" and let LabVIEW create its own acquisition loop (which is very similar to what I already set up, using the "DAQmx Read" VI).
Any ideas why the Test Panels work correctly but the LabVIEW code does not?

Hello bentnail,
I'm not sure why the test panels are readin the value correcly but the LabVIEW code does not, but there are a couple of things we can try.
1) What happens if you just use the DAQ Assistant and place it on the block diagram? Does it read out the correct values?
2) Try running a shipping example that comes with LabVIEW. "Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi" should work well.
3) What kind of signal are you expecting to read (peak to peak voltage, freqeuncy, etc.)?
Thanks,

MAX 4.2.1.3001 Task Test Panel Button Missing

I just upgraded to LabView 8.2.1, along with the drivers, NI-DAQmx, MAX, etc., and now when I use MAX to view my existing tasks, they no longer have a "Test Panels" button. They appear to now have an integrated test graph. That is nice, but before I was able to press the "Test Panels" button, select a type of "Values" instead of a graph type, and this would allow me to see the raw values that each channel was returning. What happend to this functionality in 8.2.1.3001? I know that I can go to each individual channel and see its raw values, but that is not acceptable. I need to see all of the values of each of my task channels together in one place, the same way I was before "upgrading" to the new MAX. Am I missing something?
Thanks for listening!

For a 3.33v input, DAQ & MAX Test panels read 018v. What is missing in set up?

Hi All:
I am resurrecting a Labview setup that has not been used for a few years.
The goal is to measure strain.
Software is:
Labview 6.0
DAQ V6.8.0f9
MAX 2.0.3.6.
Hardware is:
PCI-MIO-16E-1
SCXI-1000 Chassis
SCXI-1121 Module
SCXI-1320 Terminal Block
As a fist step I decided to test the hardware using MAX.
I reset all of the SCXI-1121 jumpers to factory settings except the Filter jumpers.
Filter jumpers were set at 10kHz and I left them at that setting.
In MAX I followed the software procedures for setting up the PCI-MIO-16E, SCXI-1000 Chassis,
and SCXI-1121 Module (Module was found using the auto detect). MAX verifies the PCI-MIO-16E
card, and the SCXI-1000 chassis.
I verified that EX 0 thru 3 were 3.33v using a digital meter.
I then wired EX 0 to CH 0 and using the MAX Test Panel and the set up string of
ob0!sc1!md1!0
in the channel box on the Analog Input tab.
I expected to see a 3.33v reading on the test panel, but got a reading of .0184v
(I assume this means zero or is noise). The result is the same on channels 1, 2, and 3.
As far as my bifocals can tell, all cables are connected properly, and there are no bent pins.
I have re-verified the jumper settings per the SCXI-1121 User Manual. I have printed the
“Knowledge Base”, “SCXI Trouble Shooting Resources” and walked through them step by step
to verify the set up of hardware and software.
I have set up a virtual channel for each channel and used the DAQ virtual test channel
test panel, and I get the same result .0184v.
Anybody have any suggestions or clues as to what I have missed?
Thank You
Peter Waltz

Hello Peter,
If you are reading 0.0184V on your analog input, then it probably means that you are reading nothing at all.
This seems like a driver issue more than anything else. Make sure that you are the latest possible driver installed for this setup. Traditional DAQ 7.0 or 7.1 are compatible with LabVIEW 6.0 and should work fine.
Once you have the right driver, try connecting your analog output to your analog input. Output a sinewave or a specific voltage and see what the AI reads.
Most likely the driver upgrade would solve your problem.
You can download the drivers from here.

MAX 3 locks up when using test panels

I am using MXI-3 fiber link to connect to PXI-1000B chassis from my win XP PC. I have a PXI-6115 and PXI-6533 in slot 3 and 5 respectively.
Both devices shows up in max and window device manager.
But when I try to check the properties test resources on PXI-6115 then nothing happens.If I run test panel on max or in virtual channel, its locks up the MAX.
Runing the test resouces in MAX on PXI-6533, I get the message that "This device is not responding to selected base address.
I have also tried this setup with windows 2000. When I runs MAX the TEst Panels and Test Resources buttons are grayed out.
I have changing diffrent setting for IRQ's and DMA without ant results.

When you install a MXI-3 card in the PC and the PXI chassis, there is a MXI Initialization disk that you get which installs the MXI-3 Optimization program on your PC, which must run on bootup of the PC.
Also, your PXI chassis must be powered on FIRST before your PC is powered up.
Have you done both of these tasks first?
