Serial Commuinica​tions

I'm trying to figure out how to communicate with a California Instruments Model 801PR Power Generator using the Com1: port.   I've tried example serial programs in Labview and get the following error:
Error -1073807346 occurred at VISA Open in Serial Communication.vi.
Possible reasons:
VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF000E) The given session or object reference is invalid.
When I try running an "initialization VI" that was provided with the 801PR (in the CICRP50 vi lib) I get the following message:
Error -1074135040 occurred at CIC_RP50 Initialize.vi.
Possible reasons:
IVI:  (Hex 0xBFFA0000) Cannot load IVI engine.
Does anyone know what this means and is anyone able to offer advice on how to communicate via the serial port. I'm using Labview 6.1 and this is my first project.

Hi cmm,
      Before you can use the serial-port in LabVIEW, MAX has to "see" it.  Normally,  in MAX, it appears per pic. (attached)
If you don't see the "COM" port in MAX, try VIEW\Refresh - (MAX will look for "new" devices.)
If it _still_ doesn't show-up, you may have some hardware conflict.  Can you use the port under Windows' Hyperterminal?  (use a loop-back connector to confirm operation.)
Cheers

  • Universal method for serial identifica​tion

    Hi,
    Is there a universal method for obtaining instrument identification string for any type of serial instrument?   Most national instrument serial device follow "ASRL?*instr" command but not everyone does.  I just wondering if there is a real unversal method that will get IDs for any serial device attached that is very similiar to other data bus like GPIB/USB/Firewire/etc.  I've also tried "*IDN?" command too but no avail.
    Thanks

    No.  While some devices support that standard, there are many that do not.  All you can do is read the manual for whatever device you are working with and see what its communication protocol is.  They may not expose that information through the serial port.  It's even possible that the only thing that identifies the serial number for a particular device is its label stuck to it.

  • Projeto - Reconhecimento de Voz e Comunicação Serial

    Olá, estou desenvolvendo um projeto no qual devo reconhecer comandos de voz e enviar posteriormente informações através de comunicação serial.
    A idéia do projeto é a seguinte :
    - Reconhecer comandos de voz como "POSIÇÃO 1, POSIÇÃO 2"
    - Para cada comando reconhecido, uma mensagem deve ser enviada via comunicação serial.
    No entanto, não venho conseguindo reconhecer comandos de voz através de alguns VI's fornecidos pela NI, então venho pedir ajuda para procurar um caminho para começar a construir tal projeto.
    Grato desde já.

    Olá, achei bem interessante este projeto, porém tenho algumas perguntas:
    Existe alguma especificação quanto ao Hardware para capturar o sinal?
    Quando você diz: "Reconhecer comandos de voz como "POSIÇÃO 1, POSIÇÃO 2", você está se referindo que o conteúdo da mensagem falada é "POSIÇÃO 1,POSIÇÃO 2" ou que isso é uma mera identificação para uma mensagem diferente?
    Capturar o sinal emitido pela voz é relativamente fácil,porém a identificação e interpretação desse sinal que é algo mais complexo (Relativo a segunda pergunta que eu fiz). Com as VI's da paleta (Sound), você irá apenas coletar esse sinal, porém a análise heurística para interpretação fica a cabo do desenvolvedor. Felizmente, existem algumas Library como o SAPI e outras para abreviar este processo.
    Sobre a serialização deste sinal, você será basicamente "obrigado" a trabalhar com filas de tamanho fixo , pois os dados devem ser armazenados em sequência e serem despachados em blocos ANTES de serem repassados as funções VISA. Uma dica é repassar essa informação utilizando dados do tipo Digital (0,1) em vetores bidimensionais para assegurar que a mensagem seja serializada completamente (sem perder nenhum bit pelo caminho)
    Você irá precisar de 3 Loops: Um para a captura dos dados, um para interpretação e arranjo e outro para envio das informações. Pesquise sobre a arquitetura QMH ou P/C. Não é necessário usar nada mais complexo neste quesito
    Espero que eu tenha ajudado

  • Deploying only Acrobat XI Pro CC package w/ Enterprise Serial # - Still getting "Sign In Required"

    Downloaded Creative Cloud Packager to create a serialized package of only Acrobat XI Pro.  I further customize the deployment via Adobe Customization Wizard XI, but did not re-enter the serial number (as suggested).  I am able to deploy from the Exceptions folder with the following cmd, msiexec /i "%inst%AcroPro.msi" PATCH="%inst%Updates\AcrobatUpd11006.msp" TRANSFORMS="%inst%Transforms\en_US.mst" /qn.  Upon launching Acrobat, I receive the a pop-up message, "Sign In Required.  Siging in with an Adobe ID and registering Creative Cloud Membership Enterprise is required within 32767 days otherwise it will stop working."  I don't understand why the serial number and Adobe ID I enterred when packaging did not carry over.  Any insight would be appreciated.

  • Using a serial Wacom tablet on a Mac Pro

    I have a good Wacom tablet with serial port interface that I would like to connect to a Mac Pro.
    Is there some way to do this? Is there any sort of serial to usb adapter or would that not work with a Mac Pro?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I don't think so. See these knowledge base articles from Wacom:

  • HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product."  I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

    How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is?  They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about.  Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean.  Does it mean your desktop computer?  If so, which one?  Do they mean your device?  LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever?  Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices?  If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.  I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5?  We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id.  He may have been using mine, since his computer died.  I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5.  Do they, then?
    Help!  I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number.  I doubt they would help me anyway.  In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it.  Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

  • How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?

    I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

    Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
    Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
    Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
    This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong
    Fred
    Sorry Fred you are wrong.
    If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application.

  • How do I transfer an Acrobat serial number from one adobe account to another?

    I've installed Adobe DC Pro on one of our user's computers. When it asked for an Adobe ID I entered the ID I used to purchase the serial number. Unfortunately now acrobat always starts on the new computer and displays my name instead of the end user name. So I'm wondering how to either transfer the serial number to the end user's adobe account, or alternatively re-associate the acrobat on the end user machine with the end user's own adobe account.

  • How many computers can you authorize with one serial number?

    Hey guys.
    I'm thinking about buying a 2nd Mac, but I'm just curious how many total computers you have authorize Logic studio on at one time (my guess would be 3 but I hope more).
    Please let me know if you can.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I'll copy my post from the other thread:
    I don't know for the others but in my retail package ((not upgrade) I found two serial numbers. Though I haven't got time yet to try the second serial number on my MacBook, my logic says that with two different serials I could run both macs simultaneously and be on the network. But, my logic fails so often so it's better to shut my mouth, install Logic on MacBook and come back here again.

  • How many times can you use a serial number?

    I used my serial number on one computer and I'm trying to use it on the other computer. But, on the other computer, it keeps saying that the serial number is invalid. I checked my number to see if i typed it correctly, and its correct but it still wont work! So I'm wondering if you are allowed to use one serial number on two computers. (I'm triying to use it to download the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 app)

    You need to contact Adobe Support when you have serial number and activation issues, either by chat or via phone.

  • DI API error while adding AP Invoice (Using serial Nos.)

    Hi,
    Im getting the following DI API error when adding an AP Invoice which has serial numbers and i cant seem to find any logical fault in the code.
    " [PCH1.WhsCode][line: 4] , 'This entry already exists in the following tables (ODBC -2035) "
    If anybody has encountered this error and found a solution kindly let me know.

    Hi Vivek,
    Are you trying to add same document number, serial number or so on?
    "entry exist " means like "duplicate key problem", I guess.
    Basically, whscode column in PCH1 table allows duplicating.
    So, I think serial number is duplicated among same item code.
    Hope this useful for you.

  • Goods Receipt PO, Based on Goods Return, Including Serials

    Hi All,
    When you received an item to stock from your vendor, and the item was defective,
    You should return the item to the vendor using 'Goods Return'.
    What should one do in the following case:
    Instead of crediting the returned item - the vendor decided to fix the defective part - and resend it to our stock.
         The normal procedure, as I know it, would be to copy the 'Goods Return' to a 'Goods Receipt PO'.
    However, if the item is managed by serials - The system won't allow me to return the same serial to stock,
    and only lets me create a new serial.
    If I will type the original serial manually in the 'Goods Receipt PO', the system will simply create a new record in the serial table (assuming duplicated serials are allowed).
    What is the correct way to handle this situation ?
    Many Thanks ! 

    Anyone ??
    Pretty Please .....
