Set Digital Out as Open Collector in NI MAX

I am not sure where the best place for this post should go since there isn't a NI MAX Board:
Is there a way to set a digital out as an open collector (assuming device supported) through NI MAX?  Via Global Channels/Tasks/Device Config?  I am currently using the USB-6001, but see no way of performing this in MAX.   I know there is the ability to do it via a channel property node within Labview (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D9B4018C3E540CE4862570F30068C0DB)
If there is no way to do this, could this be a possible future feature (along with the ability to change other properties via MAX)?

It doesn't really matter either way, but it would be convinient to be able to change more settings through MAX so you don't have add it to every piece of LV code you may use.  I do understand that it make sense to require this kind of setup on a program to program basis, since developers do use the same piece of equipment for multiple products/applications and trying to keep track of what the settings in MAX are could be a huge PITA.

  • Setting voltage level Digital Out in NI 6221

    Hi all,
    I am working with a NI 6221. I am wondering if it is possible to change voltage level of digital out channels? Currenty I am using "Digital Bool 1line 1 point" as my DAQmx write.

  • Audigy 4, digital out would not work, now external box does not power

    I recently purchased a audigy 4 sound card. At first it was almost as if there was a loose wire somewhere. Sometimes the external break out box would power up and sometimes it would not. There was no loose wire and it now no longer powers up at all. The only thing that was worse than the intermittent power up was the digital out on the box. First of all I was told that you could use the spidf out on the box to a receivers digital in, this never worked now matter what settings I tried. I was then told to try the mini out. So I went and bought a mono mini out, that was a joke, didn't fit right rarely worked. I then went and bought a mini stereo plug to RCA out, that fit right and worked a few times, It no longer works at all.
    I had the settings set up correctly with the spidif passthrough.
    Has anyone else had any problems getting the digital out to work with a receiver?
    The analog works fine, but just like the audigy mp3 the bass output for my sub is weak and almost nonexistent. I have a nice hifi/ht system I am trying to get this card to work with.

    hello there!
    i have the same problem - when i use the equalizer i can save a preset without problems,
    but if i reboot the pc i first have to open the equalizers window to make the equalizer work. without having opened the equalizer window it seems to be not activated.
    does anybody have an idea how to fix that problem?

  • Xtrememusic: Digital out or Analog out, Advantages Disadvanta

    I have a Xtrememusic card, that has a wonderful sound using the analog outputs to 3 Sonic Impact T-Am
    ps.
    Now, I'm curious about using the digital out to a Panasonic SA-XR55 digital amp/receiver. I know I would lose the CMSS, but the Panasonic can do it's own synthesis of surround. I'm interested in knowing from users about the pros and cons of using the digital out or analog outs. I know the quality of the Xtrememusic DACs are good, and I read that the Panasonic?has a excellent sound output as well. If I choose to use the digital out, I could just use?the motherboard onboard digital out, although only in DVD modes does it do a true bitperfect pass through. In stereo mode, it's still using some of Windows to mix the sound. I could also use the digital out of the card. Seems like a shame to bypass all of that nice analog the card is capable of?
    Oh yeah, anyone know if a old Creative Li've 5. I/O panel will work with a Xtrememusic card??Thanks

    wiersch,
    I believe you might have Skype set to auto-configure your soundcard. Try this, open Skype and go to it's audio setting menu. Disable the option 'Let Skype adjust my sound device setting.'

  • Error when trying to use DO as "open collector" on PXI-6602

    When I try to configure a DO of my PXI-6602 as "open collector" I receive the error -200452 ("Measurements: Specified property is not supported by the device or is not applicable to the task."). This is completely mysterious to me since the PXI-6602 should have this feature and my code (see attachment) is practically identical to any of the numerous examples for this topic. Am I overlooking anything really stupid? (LV 8.5, PXI-8145RT) Cheers, uli

    Hi uli,
    Did you try setting DO.Tristate while the task is running? There are a few DAQmx devices that do not support setting DO.Tristate while the task is running, but I don't think that the PXI-6602 is among them. I don't have an actual 6602 installed but with a simulated PXI-6602 and DAQmx 8.9, setting DO.Tristate while the task is running does not error.
    Using external hardware is perfectly fine, and should also work for timing I/O (whereas using DO.Tristate would only work for single-point digital I/O).
    I don't see the text that you quoted in the NI 660x Specifications, so I don't know what context it was in, and apparently it has been reworded since then. Note that devices that support open collector output say "open collector (open-drain)" in their specifications; for an example, see the NI USB-6008/6009 User Guide and Specifications.

  • Photoshop Elements 4 menu items grayed out after opening from iPhoto

    Hi,
    I just set PSE4 as my preferred photo editor in the General Preferences pane of iPhoto '08. When I edit a photo in iPhoto, PSE4 boots up (as expected and desired); however, all the menu items are inexplicably grayed out now in PSE4, so doing any editing is impossible unless keystrokes are used. Unfortunately, I don't know what all the keystrokes are for various functions, if keystrokes exist for each... Does anyone know anything about this? Gurus, please help! Advance thanks.

    Heheh: the inexplicable mysteries of the digital universe. Opening PSE4 up first, and then editing the photos in iPhoto so they appear in PSE4 worked! The menu items were no longer grayed out - all functional. Thanks Terence!

  • No digital out on Audigy 2 va

    I upgraded from an Audigy to 2 and I'm trying to use some Boston Accoustics BA7500G digital speakers. I normally would tick the box "Digital out" on the speaker settings on my A and set 4/4. as the setup and I would have 4 speaker sound. However with the A2 I *DO NO GET* that "digital out" tick box, where it would be on the speaker config window is instead a blank area. Any ideas? I also did a fresh install of WinXP in a spare partition and using the drivers from the A2 CD I get the same result.

    I am having a similar problem with no output to my BA7500Gs, however, I am using the SB Li've! 24-bit card that DOES have the tick box for digital out only. If you speaker set is from an old Gateway system, we may be suffering from a cable problem since according to Jeremy-CL in the posting "Creative Labs<SPAN class=navbar_sep>: Speaker Systems<SPAN class=navbar_sep>:<SPAN class=navbar_text>Re: Boston Acoustics + Sound Blaster + Windows XP = no sound?", Gateway sort of rigged the sound card to work with the digital BA7500G speakers. I have opened a separate post <SPAN>BA7500G + Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit + Windows 2k = no sound in effort to find a resolution. Will provide one if found.

  • TOSLINK/SPDIF optical digital out problem

    Dunno what the problem is here. I've used a mini-Toslink adapter and cable to successfully send a digital signal to my amplifier with my Macbook Pro and a previous iMac G5 iSight, but recently failed to do the same with my new 24" iMac. The red light and the Sound preferences suggest that the digital output is working, but no sound comes out. The same setup works fine with my MBP's digital output, so I can't explain the problem on the iMac.
    Does anyone know of any other ways to test or verify that the digital output is working? Perhaps there is another way to turn the digital output on/off? I'm hoping this is a software issue ...
    Thanks.

    I'm having a similar problem / issue with the digital outs...
    I'm sending a digital signal via a mini-TOSlink adaptor to my MOTU 828mkII ADAT IN... first problem is that unless I set the MOTU's clock to ADAT IN... (and not use it's only internal clock) then I get digital noise when I playback anything on my iMac... since there is no way to set the iMac clock in Audio Midi Setup to External... it's greyed out.
    The larger issue is that playback works fine as long as the Audio driver is being used... i.e. iTunes playiing something back. When I stop any audio playback... about 30 seconds later, the MOTU sync light starts flashing as it's NOT receiving a sync signal from the iMac anylonger. Then if I start playback again it takes about 2-3 seconds for the playback to sound. Totally unacceptable...
    I noticed a few things... first off... I also send a signal from my MOTU BACK to my iMac through the iMac's digital IN. With the Digital Output on the iMac, plugging in the TOSLINK cable will automatically change the OUTPUT in Audio Midi Setup to Digital Out... when plugging in the 2nd cable to Digital In, Audio Midi Setup DOES NOT change to Digital In unless you start audio playback, and that's where the 2-3 seconds lag comes in. When you actually hear the playback, if Audio Midi Setup is open... you can see the INPUT switch from Line In to Digital In... and if you stop playback, you can see the Digital In go BACK to Line In about 30 secs later... which should NOT be happening... although technically the Digital in should have NO effect on the Digital Out here anyway... and in truth it doesn't... taking the Digital In out of the equation totally - I still see the same issues... just find it interesting that this is happening.
    Anyhow, I have no advice to help you out rwcoch... I wish I did... this is ridiculous! I'm going to search a bit more and see if anyone else has anything remotely similar...
    Can anyone else try to replicate my issue? Try sending a digital signal to another sound card... ?
    Thanks

  • Digital Out Problem

    Hey
    I have a very bothersome Problem.
    Every time I boot into XP Sp2 via bootcamp the internal speakers won't shut up.
    The original speakers I wan't to use are connected via optical out. SPIF
    There is always a kind of low echo. I hate this.
    Additional: Under OS X everything is fine!
    What I already did:
    Play around with the Realtek panel.
    Try to mute in OSX and then switch to XP.
    Install Drivers over and over....
    Please help!

    I had this problem, and it's one of those stupid fixes that you want to yell at the universe for.
    In the right-hand part of the desktop toolbar, click the "Volume" icon, and set the slider all the way down to the bottom. Don't click mute, though, because that mutes everything, including the digital out.
    If that doesn't work properly, right-click the "Volume" icon, and select "Open Volume Control." Put the Master Volume slider all the way down, and leave all the others as is. Your SPDIF should be greyed out, which is what the digital would be.

  • How do I set FF to always open links in a background tab? (as if ctrl-left click is always on)

    I used to have FF set to to this, but since upgrading to a new laptop, I cannot figure out *how* I set it up to open all links as background tabs. I do have TabMix installed, and obv. I can ctrl-click, but I want that to be the default setting.

    Thanks, that was the first thing I did, never worked as I thought it would. I ended up using about:config and finding "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground," switched that to true and things are back to normal.

  • Audio output changed to 'Digital Out' and speakers don't work! Please help!

    I'm not exactly sure what's happened, but after starting up my macbook pro, my speakers/audio haven't worked.
    The volume control in the menu bar is inactive (looks light grey) and in the Sound menu, I have no option for output devices except for 'Digital Out' - there is no other option for 'external speakers' (as per usual) or anything!
    I can plug earphones in, and sound comes out fine... I don't know what may have happened, but I'm really worried - I use my MBP for home & work; I need my speakers to work!!
    If anyone can offer any advice, I'd be really grateful. Thank you in advance.

    Talked to Tech Support about this when my machine locked up in this same fashion. There's a little "door" inside the headphone jack that can get stuck in the open position and keep the audio from switching back to the internal speakers / stuck in the digital (optical) output position...
    The solution: the iPick... It's a toothpick, but if you use it to poke around inside the headphone jack until the little door gets unstuck, it becomes an iPick, and a box of them are very expensive, but they come in lovely colors and are very intuitive to use...
    I'm not kidding... Stick a toothpick (or other non-conductive small stick) in the headphone jack and joog it around until it releases the little door...

  • Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

    help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Sound Blaster card 'digital out' into my high-end stereo receiver?

    BSound Blaster card 'digital out' into my high-end stereo receiver?A I want?to interface my iTunes music library?(all tunes in Apple Lossless file format) to my high-end sound system, using an optical (TOSLink)?cable and a "mini TOSLink adapter" that will plug into the 'digital out' jack on the Sound Blaster card in my Windows XP PC. This configuration will take advantage of the high-end DAC's in my Denon receiver.
    I don't care about getting surround sound out of my PC, and I'm not a gamer. I just want hi-fi stereo music from my iTunes library.
    Will this work?Can I expect CD-quality sound?
    Also, would it be worthwhile to upgrade my model SB394 sound card to a hi-fi SB card like X-Fi Xtreme Audio, or is any sound card as good as any other for simply deli'vering the digital data stream to my Denon receiver?

    well, I have two devices that a combo CD player/Tape decks/radio tuner/amp; one has misc input, the other doesn't. Both are analog devices, both are old things I bought at a yard sale. I got 6 bookshelf speakers that use pairs of stripped wire as the input hooked up in 2 parallel wired sets of 3 to the CD/Tape/Tuner/Amp thing that has a misc input. Anyway, the one without misc input has a 3 disk CD changer, plus it would give me a way to input tape and radio sounds sources into my computer if I just connected it's audio outputs to the internally located Aux In on my soundblaster card in my computer. But I wonder, what considerations do I have to have?
    Firstly, is the Aux In on my board analog or digital? I'm assuming if it doesn't say "digital", it's analog; correct?......
    secondly, and more importantly; the CD/Tape/Tuner/Amp thing is supposed to be used with 8 ohm speakers and do I have to worry about sending too much current to the soundcard?
    specific model of SB card; I'm not sure. It has 2 analog outs, analog in, mic in, digital out and a joystick port; and it came installed on a 200 Dell w/ Win ME
    and please, don't try selling me something; I use old crappy hardware and really do not mind doing so.
    any help will be appreciated, thanks.
    Aux-In is an analog port (4-pin connector/stereo).
    Don't connect powered output (= speaker outputs) into soundcard but, if possible, use some low-power connection like Headphones-Out (or if possible then some line-out port).

  • No digital out signal from Optical Out

    I have a Pavilion p6250f PC with a ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics card.  I have it connected to my Onyo receiver through the DVI-D port to the HDMI port on my Onyo receiver.   I get a message saying I need to cable the sound separately, so I am using a optical cable from the PC to the receiver, but am unable to get any sound.
    I have used the Realtek menu to select Digital Out.  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Where are you connecting your optical cable to on the PC as you have stated?
    Try SPDIF output from the PC using a coaxial cable to a digital input on the receiver. Or, use an analog cable from the back of the PC to the receiver.  Then go back into the Control Panel ---Sound---> Playback Tab and set the default sound out device.
