Sencore color pro USB drive with labview

I have a Sencore color pro which measures lumens, Color temperature, Cx,Cy cordinates.
If I want to measure these values using labview, how am I supposed to integrate this sensor
with labview. It has a USB drive. I need to acquire these values and analyze them.

HelloYesh,
MikeS81 is correct. Yu can interface with your sensor using either ActiveX or Call Library Function Node.

HT1948 USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

Cannot mount external USB drive with FDisk_partition_scheme

Due to some recent mac issues in my lab, we updated one of the computers to Maverick 10.9.4 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 yesterday. Anyhow, this seems to have erased the ability of the mac to read or mount several identical USB drives with the NTFS format (WD My Passport Ultra 500GB USB3.0). It could do it yesterday when it was OSX 10.6.8, but not today (OSX 10.9.4). The drives still work fine on other OSX 10.6.8, Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 computers (this is appears to be a problem with the Maverick 10.9.4 operating system itself, rather than the flash drives which work flawlessly with every other computer I've tried). I want to remove data from the computer to create backups on the USB drives (no, I don't want to create an online backup or buy a new set of USB drives).
diskutil can see the drives, but cannot verify or repair them as they lack a GUID (GPT) partition scheme. I'm assuming this is the root of the problem. Manually mounting the drives does not work. Installing the ntfs-3g driver also did not work (I was using this to write to the NTFS drives until we upgraded OS's). Installing the WD Passport drivers for OSX also did not work. How do I get the mac to mount these drives?
I could reformat one USB drive and then copy to the others, but this would be extremely inconvenient and take days of copying files back and forth (and would prefer to fix the mac rather than go through this with every NTFS drive I own). If I did this, the FAT32 hard drive format would not be suitable, as format is unable to handle the extremely large sequencing datasets I need to transfer. I'm not super familiar with hard drive formats, but in the event we cannot get Maverick to actually work could someone possibly suggest a format able to handle large file sizes (the largest file I need to move is ~60GB) and be compatible with Windows 8.1 / OSX 10.9.4 / Ubuntu 14.04 as well?
Another workaround I thought of would be just to install an Ubuntu partition on the mac and get the files off through the Linux install. Which is also inconvenient, but would probably be faster than trying to reformat the drives and copy everything over onto them again given the amount of data I want to transfer.
Unrelated, but is there any way to view files and folders in the OSX root directory besides through Terminal? It seems like this functionality was also removed when we "upgraded" from Snow Leopard. (At this point, if it were up to me I would wipe all of the macs we own and replace them with Ubuntu... even the most minor of tasks always require some sort of workaround with them... at my wits end here ).

Yeah this definitely appears to be a problem specifically with this mac. It's been having all sorts of weird problems lately, and we figured that upgrading to Maverick might fix them (but instead we got new problems).
To give an update on this, I ended up reformatting one of the drives to HFS+ and disabled journaling. It now recognizes the drive again, and I'm pulling the files off that way. I looked at exFAT, but it looks like HFS+ has much better Linux support (Windows is read-only but that's only a minor annoyance, as the algorithms to process the data only run on UNIX machines anyways). It's a shame I couldn't keep using NTFS (had to copy over literally EVERYTHING again...) but whatever. Again, no solution for the issue (where this mac can't read NTFS drives).
@rkaufmann87 - To give a bit more explanation, we recently had to disable online backups because apparently the sheer amount of data causes Time Machine to freeze the computer and fail every time it has a scheduled backup (original issue we thought that upgrading to Maverick would solve... didn't work). The hard drive has been having a lot of issues when it begins to reach max capacity as well. So I am pulling off all of my files to external hard drives and deleting the local copy before we attempt to back up online again. And the data would probably take me a year and a lot of money to recreate (for the curious, it's high throughput sequencing data). I'm choosing not to take any chances as a result.

How set parameters of AKD driver with LABVIEW ?

Hi
I am looking a simple example to set or read paramaters of AKD driver with Labview .
The AKD has ethernet communication and the control is analogue - AKD-P00306-NBAN-0000
I want to use Labview to read the same paramerters like Kollmorgen WorkBench
Thank you for you help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi k-usa,
We use Workbench to access these parameters, and unfortunately for many of them there isn't a way to access them in LabVIEW. The manual for using the AKD with our C-Series modules (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375516b.pdf) specifies setting these parameters in Workbench for this reason. I apologize that there isn't a way to access many of them in LabVIEW.

Has anyone used an USB ASIO driver with LabVIEW ?

Anyone has already tried to use LabVIEW to get data from USB audio recording equipment (M-Audio Quattro)?
RKO

Hi,
NI-VISA 3.0 is the only driver in LabVIEW that would give you access to an USB device. You would probably use NI-VISA USB Raw mode.
To use the VISA driver you need to know in detail how the device works and how to program with USB. There isn't too much documentation, but if you are clear on those two things it should be easier to get familiar with the NI-VISA API.
You'll need the USB specification (www.usb.org). Also check the NI-VISA Programmer Reference Manual
Hope this is what you are looking for.

USB-6009 with Labview 2014 on Windows 8.1

Hi,
I have trouble connecting USB-6009 OEM with my new laptop with windows 8.1. My USB-6009 OEM device is not shown up in NI Max. So when I check Device Manager, there is a question mark on "NI USB-6009 OEM FW". I tried to install Labview 2011 but still the same. When I tried to choose the driver in Device Manager manually, I can only find NI-VISA driver as the closest one. It is still not working when I open DAQmx to check my card. It is still not detected in NI Max and anywhere within labview. When I used NI-VISA driver, and try to connect the device in NI Max, I get timeout error. I think I need to see NI-USB driver instead of NI-VISA driver. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi Thoo,
You may also want to try reinstalling the DAQmx 14.5 driver first. DAQmx 14.5 is supported on Windows 8.1. Some of the driver files may have been corrupted and reinstalling the driver may solve the issue. If not, using the DAQmx Base driver could be a good option as Dennis suggested.

Is it possible to format an external USB drive with XFS or EXT3 ?

Greetings all.
I am running a 2,8Ghz 8x core with 6Gb ram. I have a NAS, (Buffalo Pro Duo Linkstation) which has a built in linux which saves data using XFS (I think). It has a built in backup routine, but the drive it backs up to MUST be in XFS or EXT3 (Fat 32 works but it drops all files over 2GB ;( ... ) So - here's my question:
How can I format the external USB drive (A seagate freeagent) in XFS or EXT3 so that it can run on my Buffalo? My preference is to use a GUI mac program (does one exist?) or to use a command line UNIX command (FSK? - but then, how????). I could also use (GASP!) a windows utility on parallels, or even install a linux distro via parallels. But it should be easy I hope...
Looking forward to any ideas/thoughts, tips, etc.
thanks and best to all from Berlin,
Jason

Download a "Live CD" (one you can boot of into running copy of Linux without having to install anything; for example, [OpenSUSE Live CD|http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/iso/cd/openSUSE-11.0-GNOME-Li veCD-x86_64.iso]).
Use OS X' Disk Utility to burn it to a CD.
Insert the CD you just burned (if it ejected afterwards), and then restart your Mac.
Hold down the 'C' key on the keyboard as the Mac boots, and it should switch to booting off the CD. Once the CD starts loading, you can let go. It will take a couple of minutes, but it will eventually boot into Linux.
Attach your USB drive.
Run gparted (you need to search the menus for it, it's under system administration, I think -- or you can open up a terminal window and simply type 'gparted').
Find your disk (/dev/sdb or /dev/sda) and partition and format it using the filesystem you want.
When done, restart the computer. You'll boot back into Mac OS X and have an EXT2/EXT3/XFS formatted external drive (that OS X won't recognize, by the way).

Not able to safely remove USB drive while Labview is open

To all the Gurus,
I am using LabView 8.5 and have made an Application which requires user to download data from USB drive/stick. So when VI runs user asked to select a .TXT file from USB to download. Here whole operation completes as desired. ONLY PROBLEM I am facing is when download completes User tries to "safely remove USB drive" where windows gives a warning saying USB is in use and cannot be removed.
In this particular VI I am using file dialog function to browse through USB and let user select a file. I even tried using open file function but it is giving same error.
The only way I can safely remove USB after downloading is by exiting Labview which is not feasible for my application.
is it a Bug in 8.5 or is there any different way to do it?
Any type of help will be appreciated.
Regards

You can call the SetCurrentDirectory Windows API function (see attachment), but if you follow the link you'll see it warns about using it in multi-threaded apps. I have no experience with it, so I can't comment.

Random crashes when using USB drive with Creatie Suite

I have a 24" Intel IMAC and when using a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB and Creative Suite I eperience random crashes in CS. When I remove th drive it works fine, any known issues when using Rosetta apps and USB drives?

So a guy goes into his doctors office and tells his doctor "Ya gotta

"DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE!!!"
(I promise to keep my day job...oops what job...and not go into

Why don't you convert all the old 16 bit code into 32 bit code and
create one application where the various parts all know about each
other? I don't think that there's any way to coordinate an old 16 bit
LV and a new 32 bit LV application so that they don't step on each
other driverwise like they appear to be doing. I don't think that the
two LabVIEW's even know that the other exists!
Alternatively, get a second computer to run the 16 bit code on and
make the two apps communicate with
each other using TCP/IP or serial.

External USB drive with 3000 N100

Hi,
Good to be here - first post!
Needing more capacity I bought a Seagate FreeAgent Go 2.5 inch 120GB drive that draws its power from the computer using two USB ports.
I could not get this to work at all - it seemed be a hardware issue with the drive: it made a bleeping sound and was not detected by the computer. It also seriously upset the Lenovo and I had to do a hard reboot by disconnecting the battery, after which it ran normally (but the Seagate still didn't work at all).
I then connected the Seagate to my desktop PC with the same (negative) result.
So, was the Seagate dead from the word go? Or was there a power issue with the Lenovo that killed it?
I've checked that my Lenovo has the latest BIOS, and all its WinXP Pro updates are up to date. What success, or otherwise, have others had with portable external drives with the 3000 N100?
Best wishes

Thanks to all for their suggestions. The final outcome was a bit of a surprise - it works! Depending upon which USB ports you plug into (this drive, like many other portable ones) uses two USB ports to supply extra power). It would appear that the Lenovo uses "some" power from the USB for internal devices - the built-in webcam being one. Examining the USB ports in Device Manager shows which ports are "used", although I confess the information is not easy to interpret. It looks like this drive needs the full 1 amp (2 x 500mA) from the two ports. On the 3000 N100, using the two ports on the right, nearest the front of the PC, seems do do the trick.
The same applied to my desktop - the two ports I plugged into originally shared a common 500mA supply and that's why the drive didn't work. Again, finding two "independent" ports did the trick.
So it might mean that the Lenovo is a bit marginal in regard to supplying power from the USB ports

Can I use a USB drive with the Airport extreme (not the new one) for Time Machine?

I thought I heard that using USB drive for Time Machine over wifi will work with the new, tall Airport Extreme, but not with the previous model, which I have. Anybody know for sure?
thanks.

It is not recommended.. Apple says it doesn't work.. for some people it does for others it is unreliable.. do you really want unreliable backups.

Mapping usb drive with rdesktop to windows server/XP

I have read that the -r option with rdesktop allows you to map a local usb drive on a linux pc to a windows server or XP as follows:
rdesktop -r disk:usb=<path> <ipaddress>
I have arch installed with a base gnome so that usb drives are automatically mounted and unmounted when plugged in.
Locally I have made sure that the usb is being mounted properly.
But when I rdesktop into the windows pc and open windows explorer the usb drive appears as a network drive in the left window but no files appear in the right hand window.
Windows gives me a message that the resource is unavailable. Mu usb is formatted in FAT.
This occurs whether I use the dev address (/dev/sda1) for my usb drive or the mounted address (/media/usbstick) in the -r option.
Can anyone tell me why I am not seeing any files in windows on my usb stick?

There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
Search for: security
Click 'Local Security Policy'
Goto Local Policies > Security Options
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

Attaching USB drive with iTunes library to TC

Ok, so I've gotten Time Capsule working properly and I'm ready to move my USB drive, which contains my iTunes library, to TC. I tried it this morning, mounted the drive from my MacBook Pro, changed my library location in iTunes preferences, and iTunes cannot find my music files on the drive.
Is there any way to get iTunes to recognize my library without consolidating it, and without losing all my ratings, added dates, play counts, etc.?

I'm trying to do a similar setup- making my iTunes library available to a couple of desktops and laptops via the hard drive on Time Capsule. Copied my iTunes library there. Changed the preferences on a Mini and on a MacBook as a test. Both are connecting via Airport. They both see the new library, but I have to add the library manually to iTunes (Apple-O). The songs' "Date Added" all reflect the date I just added them. I don't rate my music, so can't comment on that. I'd guess the reatings would also be lost.
My guess is that you could copy both the "iTunes Library" and the "iTunes Library XML" onto TC and that might solve the issue (perhaps you would need to launch iTunes from one of those files by double clicking on them?) the first time. But I really have no idea if this would work.
Good luck!

BackUp Server Volume to local USB Drive with TM, HowToDo?

Hello
I read in many threads that people want to backup their local drive to a server. I want to do the reverse. I want to backup one of the shared volumes to a local USB drive by using Time Machine?
How can I configure this. The Server Volume is not recognised by Time Machine.
Please tell me how I can manipulate this?

What is wrong with that??
Nothing, if you run TM *on the server,* where they're either internal or directly-attached via F/W or USB.
But can't run TM *on a remote Mac* to back-up those drives.
