Synchronize Series 2 PCMCIA CAN/2 with USB-6229

Hi,
Just want to know if it's possible to synchronize series 2 PCMIA CAN/s or USB-8473s with USB-6229. If so how to connect the two setup together through RTSI connection? I assume I would follow the example VI "CAN Sync Start with NI-DAQmx". Thanks.
Jason

Hi Blayne,
Thanks for your reply. I used the reference design and connected it as follow. However I can see that the CAN and DAQ start is still not synchronize, I suspect I need to configure the startTrigger. Basically I want to it to start capturing analog and CAN data simultaneously when I start running. Analog signal will always be there, I suppose to set the trigger source to an analog input (AI0), when it start capturing, generate a pulse on the startTrigger to start CAN capture. How would I go about doing this?
From the USB-8473s to USB-6229
CLK -> 10Mhz pulse AO to PFI12
TRIG -> ai/StartTrigger to PFI0
GND -> DGND
I've attached a draft of my program.
Thanks a lot.
Jason

Synchronize PCMCIA-CAN/2 and USB-DAQPAD-6015

Hi,
I would like to know if is it possible to synchronize data from a PCMCIA-CAN/2 and a USB-DAQPAD-6015 like using two PCMCIA cards with RTSI bus.
Tx for your answers.

Hi christophe14,
it's no problem to synchronize a Series 2 PCMCIA-CAN/2 card and a USB-DAQPAD-6015. However, you might want to take a look at this this KnowledgeBase article.
Similar to using a PCMCIA-CAN and a DAQcard, you would need to use the PCMCIA-CAN Synchronization Cable to connect the PCMCIA-CAN card to the 68-pin connector of the USB-DAQPAD.

PCMCIA CAN and MAX Bus Monitor

I have a series 1 PCMCIA CAN Controller Card (184272F-01) and Series 1 CAN Cable (184354B-01) attempt to communicate with a DDC RPC CAN Interface (29bit arbitration ID, 250K Baud)
Command: Version ID?: 0000 0000 0000 001B
29bit ArbID: 0x18EFE3E1
1-First does MAX actually wrap the remainder of the Full CAN message, for example the CRC checksum?
2-Can I run the Bus Monitor and send out the message with Test Panel at the same time?
thanks in advance,
JS

1. Yes it does.
2. Yes you can.
Have Fun.

PCMCIA-CAN/2 Series 2 works on windowa Vista?

Hey ,
We are using the PCMCIA-CAN/2 Series 2 CAN Card for our application.We are moving to Windows Vista very soon.I was not sure if I can use the same CAN card for the vista operating system?
I've seen some post about PCMCIA DAQ not working on Vista? is it the same with CAN card too? Details of the CAN card below.

Hello Vamshi,
The NI-CAN 2.6 driver supports the PCMCI-CAN Series 2 under Vista x86. Please note that the PCMCIA-CAN and PCMCIA-CAN/2 interfaces are not supported on the 64-bit version of Windows Vista. This information is available in the readme file, located on the driver's download page.
Have a great week.

Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3?

Hi all,
Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3 (as no USB)?
My powerbook G3 is installed with MacOSX 10.2 and i want to access my portable Hard Disk (format under windows platform) . . . is that possible to access like "plug and play" using USB adaptor ?
Many thanks.

white_tiger,
You can use both FireWire and USB CardBus PC cards. CardBus supports both 32-bit and the older PCMCIA 16-bit protocols.
A FireWire PC card is natively supported in all versions of OSX...no drivers to install.
USB 1.1/2.0 PC cards are also natively supported but it gets a little more complicated:
- The older USB 1.1 cards work fine under all versions of OSX.
- The newer USB 2.0 cards also work under all versions of OSX with this caveat: Apple added USB 2.0 support to OSX 10.2.8 and later; if your USB 2.0 card does not have the NEC-based USB2 chipset and you are running 10.2.8 or later, the card will not work properly. USB 2.0 PC cards with the wrong chipset, however, will work properly with OSX up through 10.2.7 but at the slower 1.1 speeds..
A few other points:
- PC cards supply only a minimal amount of bus power, so if you want to connect a portable FW or USB HD, it will need its own power supply.
- A Mac can only read/write to Fat and Fat32 drives; OSX 10.3 and 10.4 can see an NTFS drive but as read-only.

T420s + Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 90W - USB 3.0 works as USB 2.0

Greetings!
I am most probably not the first one who is interested, but I failed to find the same topic in the forum.
I have Lenovo T420s plugged into ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 90W. The problem I have USB 3.0 port on the dock (blue one) works as USB 2.0. The laptop port works fine. I am checking it by plugging Seagate mobile HDD - when the HDD is plugged into the blue port on the dock station Windows (7, 64-bit) complains 'Device can perform faster', using laptop's port doesnt trigger the message.
USB 3.0 driver is installed.
BIOS version is 1.37.
Intel Chipset drivers are updated.
Device manager shows the connection as a chain of two 'Generic USB Hub's, if HDD is connected to the laptop's port its chain of 'Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 blah-blah'.
Please help! If this combination is just not supported, please point to the relevant link.
Thank you!

Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 - 170W causing uab/wireless keyboard issues

W530 here, win 7 64 bit, 32g ram. When plugged into the Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 - 170W, all external keyboards (wired/wireless) don't work. Keyboards appear to be properly recognized devices and drivers are installed, but I can't type using these keyboards and am limited to the laptop's keyboard. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jan C.

Hi, Jan C.,
I did some research and found this thread by a user named Sssith, who was experiencing a similar issue with using a keyboard with a docking station. His issue stemmed from the USB hub drivers not being correctly installed. I would recommend updating these drivers and your BIOS just to make sure. The USB drivers can be found here, and the BIOS here. If neither of these work, then you could try Sssith's method of removing the drivers and letting Windows install the generic ones.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Install of PCMCIA CAN Series 2 Card

When I boot up my computer with my NI PCMCIA-CAN/2 Series 2 card, it locks up in mid-boot. If I try to put the card in when windows (XP) is running, it freezes. I had this problem at first, and then it disappeared for a short time, but is back again. I essentially had to re-boot my computer several times before it recognized the card, but this trick has stoped working. I have installed the latest NI CAN software (verson 2.3) and still am having the problem. The card is new. I recieved it in march, but only just pulled it out about a month ago, and have only had a few days since then to try and work with it. What could I try to fix this?

Hi James,
That sounds like as if you got a bad card. Your card is still under
warranty. Please contact your local National Instruments branch office to get the board
checked/repaired and give them the same description of the problem.

PCMCIA-CAN Series 2 hanging

Hello,
We are using a PCMCIA-CAN series 2 board on two of our machines to get/send PDO data to CANOpen network of 6 nodes.
Built in 2007, Labview 2010 application (using CANOpen library 1.1.3 in combination with NI-CAN version 2.7.4) seemed to work OK mainly because we used it on short period of time (under 12h). To run more longer tests, we run now the machine over 24h continuously and this revealed a small bug. We investigated the case first with NI-SPY. It reported a communication lost problem with the board firmware and propose different solutions or checks (windows interrupts, application code, etc...).
In our application, we have two loops to send and get PDOs on the network. We use function "Wait for PDO" to wait for a TPDO during a time slot and if not received we switch to wait for another one and so on. The other loop takes care of the RPDOs the same way. We have no more than 14 RPDOs or TPDOs for our network. We checked the code and even slow down the switching but bug is still appearing.
We then run the application with other faster computer and made all software updates. Now, NI-TRACE reports (attached with this post) other errors but symptoms are still the same. Application is not able to communicate with board to get/send the PDOs values (or send/recaive SDOs) even the nodes on the CAN network are running OK. It seems that firmware implemented on board stopped functionning or hanged.
We contacted NI sales representative in order to get version 1.1.4 of the CANOpen library (support for LV 2010) but did not get any proposal at this time. We suppose that there is no firmware update as the product is now obsolete. Of course, recommandation was also to switch to new NI PCI board with new library for industrial communications but which is unforunately a little too large to be installed in our panel PC. Another manufacturer hardware will fit for sure...
Reading back my posts in 2007-2008, I remembered also that the PCMCIA boards had more limitations than others PCI boards for example. But, before changing hardware and rewriting the code, I want to give these boards (and all the work done in the past) a last chance.
Does one of you have suggestions or solutions for me ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Please find below two snapshots of the code and in particular the TPDO and RPDO loops I have in my main vi.
The TPDO loop receives an array of clusters containing each with TPDO elements declared. Array contains 7 elements actually. TPDO time refresh time has been set to 200ms so that loop switches on a waiting time for each TPDO around 28ms. CAN network speed is 1Mbits/s and the 6 CAN nodes has been setup to send their TPDOs every 20 or 30ms. Only the one used are sent.
The vi "Get TPDO data" is implementing the TPDO wait function. If a new TPDO is available, its value is compared with the stored one (in array element). If new, the TPDO cluster is updated and put in a queue. Then, in this Producer/Consumer queue principle, the second loop dispatches the values in the variables.
The RPDO loop is based on same principle except that the 2 RPDOs are set every 50 ms. The application then uses SDO to send other commands to the nodes.
When our problem appears, we notice that values are not refreshed anymore on the front panel, even commands with SDO are no more possible. Spying the CAN network shows normal activity of the nodes.
First error message we got from NI-SPY was :
“Overflow in the lower level read queue of the CAN card (frames lost). NI-CAN reads this queue at Windows interrupt-time. Solutions: Avoid tasks that generate excessive interrupts on your PC (mouse, ethernet, ...); Avoid running other
applications during your test (screen savers, MAX, ...); use Series 2 Filter Mode to filter incoming traffic; For CAN Objects (Frame API), increase read queue length or call Read more frequently”
So we checked our configuration and computer (scren saver, network connection, etc...). We also ran the application with another one, made updates... Now NI-TRACE reports the information contained in the files attached to my last post. Hard to find the bug if it occurs only after several hours of running time...
With these information, any suggestions or comments ?
Thanks.

Can I connect a USB 2 sound card to a Macbook equipped only with USB 3 ports?

Hello,
I just learned I might have to purchase a new Macbook because my USB ports are fried and I was looking at purchasing a refurbished Macbook pro from 2012:
http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FD101LL/A/refurbished-133-inch-macBook-pro-25g hz-dual-core-intel-i5
the only trouble is I make music with a MOTU Audio Express sound card, and it only has a USB 2 port and a bus-powered Firewire (which I don't like using since it hasn't been too reliable in the past).
http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/audio-express/summary.html
Unfortunately, it seems that the Macbook I'm looking into purchasing only has USB 3 ports, and I looked for info on USB 3->USB 2 adapters online and this simply doesn't seem to exist. The only info I managed to find on this subject was this little bit on the Apple website:
Can a USB 2 cable be used to connect a USB 3 device to my computer?
If the device end of the cable fits into the connector on the device, yes. However, because it has fewer wires, you won't get USB 3 speed and power may be limited to 500 mA.
does this mean that I can connect a USB 2 cable from the USB 2 port of the MOTU sound card to the USB 3 port on the Macbook? I'm OK with the power and the speed being limited to USB 2 power, I just want to make sure I can actually use my sound card with this new Macbook.
Thanks!

I think I'm understanding this a bit more now.
Here is the cable that I use:
http://www.amazon.ca/USB-Cable-Type-Male-Black/dp/B00183I7EE
The Type A part is the one that I'm currently putting into the Macbook and the Type B part goes in the sound card.
Would this work with a USB 3.0 port on the Macbook?
Thanks for your time and patience...

How can I stop iTunes from dropping my iPhone 5 when connected with USB cable? It sees it and start a backup and then it drops and tells me cannot find phone.

My HP notebook 64 bit Windows 8 after the last iTunes update will detect my iPhone 5, sync and when finished with thy sync I start a backup to my computer. It runs fine for a bit and then gives me message I have changed settings on my iPhone 5 and asked me if I want to update. I OK the question and runs a bit more and then drops the connection telling me cant find my iPhone 5. I can restart iTunes and start over and does the same thing.
ITunes update 11.1.1.62 had difficulties with the updates on 64 bit Windows 7 and 8.1 causing an error on boot other trouble. I found solution on research that insturcted to Remove iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Support and Apple Update and reload iTunes old version. I simply reloaded the new version becasue did not have the old version of iTunes. I have been working fine with the old version. I know problem is a simple setting somewhere but it is NOT SIMPLE to me since I dont know where the find the simple setting.
Will someone tell what to do. I appreciate all you smart guys.

My apologies...the version is 11.1.4.62 not as stated aboive in my problem description. I'm trying again and it just finished syncing fine and my iPhone 5 is still connected to iTuns physcially with USB lightening cable and is displaying the iPhone icon top right. I clicked on it and iTunes is now "hung' or locked up. Shows to be an active running application but can't get back to it so willl have to kill with task manager. There is some kind of problem going on with the latest version of iTunes and Wndows 7 and 8.1 or something. My iPhone 5 now has a new feature that it is now asking me if I "Trust" this computer. iTunes just came "unhung" after several minutes while I was typing this. Now I am going to start the backup to this computer HP Winsows 8.1 and iTune 11.1.4.62 and see what happens. Says it is Backing up Jerrys iPhone but the Barber Pole progress bar is not turning an iTunes is hung again and I cant get back to it from this page I am typing on. Maybe it will eventually release as it did a moment ago.

How can I generate variable frequency in different time with NI USB 6229?!

Hello,
I have NI USB 6229, and I want to have VI which;
in this VI I have to firstly generate a initial frequency togive it to a circuit, after that according to the results that I am reading from circuit I have to make some delay in the same frequency which I generated before and again give it to circuit to see the results again.actually in other word it is some kind of feedback process.
I would be thankful if some one can help me to how to make this VI because still I do not have any idea to program it.
Sorry if I could not explain well because I am as beginner .
thanks

Hi worldviol
I think a great place to start would be for you to have a look at the examples included in LabVIEW (help >> Find Examples..)
Have a look under 'Hardware Input and Output' > 'DAQmx' and then 'Analog Input' and 'Analog Output' you will also probably find 'Synchronization' useful.
The next stage would be to pick the most appropriate design pattern, you should read the white-paper here on design patterns.
I think the producer consumer design pattern would be useful here as you would be reading and writing to the device at different rates.
Kind Regards

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1349 my IPOD touch won't be recognized by my DELL Latitude PC and it won't synch. I'm technologically handicapped but all I know is it used to synch whenever I would attach it to computer with USB. Aside from tossing my DELL can anyone help?

My IPOD Touch isn't being recognized by my PC(DELL LatitudeD630) and it won't synch. I'm "technologically handicapped" but all I know is it used to synch whenever I would attach it to PC with USB cable. Aside from tossing my DELL can anyone offer suggestions that might solve this problem ? Thanks

I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.
