Standalone drivers for USB 6008

Hello, all.
So here's my problem: I am running an experiment that must be on
a Windows 98 machine for various reasons, and I want to take some
additional data using a USB 6008 device. I know that NI-DAQmxBase isn't
supported on Win98, but I don't think I should need the full system, as
I've already written a portable C executable on an XP machine, and can
modify it over there if need be. However, the USB 6008 can't
locate the necessary drivers to install on a machine if DAQmxBase isn't
installed first. My question is whether there is some way to
install the USB 6008 without having the full DAQmxBase installation
present, i.e. if there is some sort of standalone driver somewhere that
I could download, or perhaps a way to do things using VISA or some
other lower level interface (though I would hate to have to resort to
that.) Any help will be much appreciated!

HEPatUTstudent,
Unfortunately there is no way to use the 6008 with Windows 98.
Even on a supported OS you still either have to use DAQmxBase or the
full DAQmx driver -- there isn't a stand alone driver for specific
devices.
The 6008/9 were recently added to the full version of the NI-DAQmx
driver in version 7.5, so if you can move to at least Windows 2000 you
would be able to program the 6008 in the same API as every other NI DAQ
device that is supported by DAQmx.
Hope this helps!

Register level programming for USB 6008

Hi all,
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?
Greetings

Making another counter VI for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5

I want to create another counter for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5 as it is needed to calculate two speeds simultaneously.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The best way to do this is to use the counter. The counter counts
signals without having to interrupt the system or use the USB bus.
When you request the number of ticks that the counter has seen, a
request is thrown from the CPU to the USB line to the 6008, which then
asks the counter "How many ticks have you seen?" That number is
returned over the USB bus, goes to the CPU, and then displays on your
screen. Since the DIO lines on the 6008 are software timed, there is
no way to guarantee that the data returning to the CPU is
deterministic. The conceptual difference between software-controlled
DIO (which nondeterministically returns an entire data stream) and a
software-tick-request-controlled counter (which returns a single number
with the number of ticks) prevents us from using the DIO lines on the
6008. The cheapest way to count more edges is to purchase more 6008s.
Another possibility would be to purchase a PCI counter board such as
the PCI-6602, which has 8 counters. The most counters we offer in the
USB form factor is 2 per device.

Drivers for USB 3.0 Dock

Recently purchased X1 Carbon. Wiped drive and installed Windows 7 64-bit from existing image/clone. Connected USB 3.0 dock to laptop and installed all applicable drivers through both Windows Updates and the Lenovo System Update utility. As it stands, I have no ethernet connectivity through the dock even though the dock is recognized by the computer and the network activity lights (green and orange) are working on the back of the dock.
Currently all drivers are installed except:
- Lenovo USB Ethernet
- ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock
- ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock
Additionally, the Lenovo USB Audio shows, "This device cannot start." Presumably, this affects the head phone port of the dock.
What am I missing? No installation disk was included with the dock but I believe the Lenovo System Update utility should have taken care of that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

For those who care, here is a link to the appropriate drivers. I find it disheartening that the Lenovo Software Update utility found drivers for everything else but this. Anyway, here is the link: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&DocID=PD023761

XP Drivers For USB Sound Blaster 0490

% After searching this site for hours, I can't find XP drivers for my USB Sound Blaster 0490. Any ideas? Or do Creative not support legacy hardware. Or could they just do with a search section to find drivers on their site.
Kind regards,
Hemlock

Hi Hemlock,
Are you talking about this driver if you are running 64bit.
Edit: I am not sure if you are running Win XP 32 or 64 bit so I included both.

DIO for USB 6008

Hello there folks,
I just need suggestions from everyone. have 5 digital signals and am using USB 6008 to measure using DAQ assistant express VI ( not DAQmx ), and use the digital binary values from the 5 channels to select a case statements. Attached is the word document .
Kindly confirm:
1) if the PIN numbers are correct
2) the labview part will work with DAQ assistant express VI
3) any other example installed in labview which you can suggest to read more about , so that i can program in labview ??

Hi Miaa,
The best examples for programming your application without the DAQ Assistant are "Read Dig Chan.vi" and "Read Dig Port.vi" (located under Hardware Input and Output » DAQmx » Digital Measurements in the Example Finder).
The "Chan" VI reads each line as a true/false value and returns an array of booleans, and the "Port" VI reads the entire port and returns an integer. You can use both of these data types to drive your case structure, but I think the integer format will make the programming easier.

Cable for usb 6008

Hi friends,
What is the properties of cable which used to connect Analog I/O or Digital I/O of USB 6008? How must be selected a cable?
have a nice work

For most general applications, basic wires will do the trick. We dont really have any specified wires to use specifically for most of our modules as it is based off the application (current, circuit length, etc.) but if you want to do a more specific choice, there are a lot of resources online and equations to calculate the necessary wire gauge. Some links to those are here:

Calibration cert for USB-6008

It doesn't look like the USB-6008 is supported by the basic calibration certificate generator. I need calibration certificates for several of these units to meet ISO 9001 requirements. What do you recommend?
Thanks,
Treck

My response did not post everything I typed. Like Brian mentioned you could probably get a calibration center to calibrate the device and give you a certificate. I also meant to say those devices would be good alternatives. So your choices would be to look for a calibration center that would do it for you, or to get a higher end DAQ device. Sorry for the brief and unexplanatory post from before.
Have a great day,

NI-DAQ for USB-6008, LV 2012

Hello, I have a NI USB-6008 for which I want to create a VI with Labview 2012 for logging one channel at 0-2V from a current shunt. In the our previous version of Labview 2011 I was experimenting with DAQ Assistant which made the job easy, but in LV 2012 this doesn't seem to exist.
I was reading help files and I should be able to use NI-DAQmx but I can't seem to be able to find it. In NI Max I can see NI-DAQmx is there and can run NI-DAQmx test panels on the USB-6008, but in LV 2012 I go to blank VI, block diagram, and I'm stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Can you check if you have DAQmx functions in Measurement I/O > NI-DAQmx in the function palette?
If no, did you re-install the DAQmx device driver together with LabVIEW 2012?
And what is your DAQmx version you're currently using?

G62 can't find drivers for USB mouse

For some reason I can't get my wired mouse OP-35D to work with Windows 7. When I plug it in ti the USBslot the PC can identify that its a USB mouse but can't find any drivers. I've downloded drivers from the manufacturers homepage but it's still not working. Tried four different USB mouse both wired and wireless, same result. USB-memorysticks, USB-harddrives are working fine.
Solution anyone?

Open Device manager and Expand USB Controllers, right click on everything labeled as device or hub and select uninstall, do this one at a time. Once this is done restart the notebook.
Do Not uninstall anything labeled Controller.

How to use Labview drivers for USB-CAN Adapter

Hi,
I just recently started working with CAN and I have a PCAN-USB adapter. I'm trying to create a programme for monitoring a series of CAN based devices and I've found Labview drivers at the link below. However, I'm not really sure how to start. I have the specs for the device but I don't know how to proceed.
Should I create messages and channels and a data base in MAX first? If anyone has programmed with this dongle before please give me a guide how you went about it.
Labview drivers - http://www.labviewportal.eu/en/device-i-o/82-pcan-usb-driver.
Thanks

I have not used this specific CAN adapter, but I have used other CAN adapters from both NI and other companies. The CAN database in MAX is useful only if you are using an NI CAN device. For all other CAN devices you need to use the format that the library uses; most likely that will be raw CAN frames.
If you do want to use the NI-CAN interface on top of the PCAN library, you can use NI-CAN virtual channels 255 and 256. These are internally connected, so that anything you send on one is received on the other. This makes it possible to do translation between raw frames and channels defined in a database, by opening one interface for frames and the other for channels. You read raw frames from the real device and send them to CAN255, then read them on CAN256; for writing, you do the opposite. However, this still requires understanding how to read and write raw frames on the underlying device, so I'd start there.

[Z580] New drivers for USB 3.0

Hi,
I would like to ask when drivers USB 3.0 for Windows 8.1 will be available?
Best regards.

Just upgraded g500s (intel chipset) from win8 to 8.1. USB3.0 did not work after upgrade, however, deleting the devices (extensible and root hubs) followed by searching for new devices installed the new 8.1 drivers and all is well now.
