Testing of multiple LIN devices simultaneously

Hi,
I require to test a number of LIN devices at once. The application is product validation testing of automotive products. We project that we will be testing at least 4 identical modules at a go. I have found that the NI-8476s usb device is capable of carrying out communication with one device. Is there any way I can multiplex this device? Or will there need to be as many USB devices as there are modules under test?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Karl

Hi Karl,
This device can address multiple different Lin devices using a master/slave relationship in a bus type set-up. You won’t need a device for each Lin device because you can address each Lin device in turn suing your USB controller as master. I hope this helps!

Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
- 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
- 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
- 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
All updated apps, software etc..
What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

Same here for over a year now.
You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
No problem
I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???

Parallel Approval of Multiple Line Items Simultaneously in BRF - SRM

Hi Friends,
   We have developed our Schema . Which has 4 Approval levels.
Issue is:
The Workflow does not go to the 2nd Approver , until all the 1st Level Approvers of the Shopping Cart Approves it.
Ex:
My Shopping has 2 Line items. Each Line Item has 3 approvers each in 3 different Process Levels.
Line Item 1 -- Project Level -- APP01
                      Category Level-- APP02
                      Finance Level -- APP03
Line Item 2 -- Project Level -- APP07
                      Category Level -- APP05
                      Finance Level -- APP09
Until both Approvers of Project Level ( APP01 & APP07 ) , executes .Neither of Category Level ( APP02 & APP05 ) can execute the Shopping cart.
We need that the Category Approvers should be able to Approve/Reject once the line items Project Level is done.
Need your assistance.
Regards,
Jagan

Thanks Hayashi.. for your reply..
We have achieved this by doing the coding in the Agent Determination Badi.
AREA GUID1 --> ITEM1 -- > 1st Approver
                            ITEM2 -->1st Approver
AREA GUID2 --> ITEM1 --> 2nd Approver
                            ITEM2 --> 2nd Approver.
Created a Custom table which will have the above fileds along with Level GUID's.
And then have used the ADHOC_SAVE & ADHOC_READ function modules to Map and read the above mappings dynamically.
Now the issue is resolved.

Execute commands in multiple Cisco devices simultaneously

Hi all:
We have a big network and every time we need to execute commands in switches and routers, it takes a lot going one by one to do it. Is there any way, ie using special software, or Linux, scripts, whatever that can be used to execute same commands in all devices at the same time?
Thanks in advance

Capture Torque vs Angle readings with multiple DAQ devices simultaneously

I am trying to capture a torque signal from an NI 9237 and combine it with an angle signal from a PCI 6251 with an SCC-68. It seems that I am able to capture each individually without a problem, but I seem to be getting off on time bases during aquisition. I am running a 1mhz oscillator for the aquisition clock through the SCC-68 for the angle signal and a 10khz internal clock for the torque aquisition on the 9237. I take every 100th point out of my array to size it correctly down to the 10khz collection of the torque signal. Since the signals are coming from 2 different devices I am having trouble getting them to align accurately on the time base. I am new to labview and am stumbling through this at the moment. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also i'm guessing there is probably a better way to do this with different hardware?
My code is attached.

Ni9237 Torque Angle.vi ‏105 KB

First off, Thank you for you first reply. I have finally gotten to the point where I have the correct equipment for the job.
I have a cDaq 9174 chassis, 9237, and 9401. I have been working with NI support to get the clocks synchronize between the modules. I initially had the 9401 set up to generate a clock signal and the 9237 would read it internally for sampling. Unfortunately this method worked when using virtual equipment but the 9237 would not obtain samples with real hardware(Times out before any samples could be acquired) So now I am running the angular encoder off of the oversample clock generated by the 9237. This way seems to work correctly as far as data acquisition goes. Now I am back to the offset between the sources, I understand the 9237 will have some offset due to the oversample clock and acquisition/filter delays. The problem I am having now is that the offset does not seem to be constant. I am running a 1hz digital waveform (using an external function generator) into both the 9401 and 9237 using a voltage divider. I confirmed there is no lag between signals using an oscilloscope. When reading these inputs into my vi there is an offset but it is not constant, given the synchronize clocks I do not understand why this is happening.
*Also the previous knowledge base article you referenced is missing links to images that should show up on the page so it is hard for me to grasp what it is describing.*
The attached image shows the offset scatter I am seeing.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Multiple Lines of Text not showing up

Hi,
Recently we have observed on a particular site in SharePoint farm that whenever we are adding list field of Multiline Text.
It is not showing up in list forms (New, Display, Edit). Test is Multiple Lines of Text field. This is happening on all the existing as well as new lists.
I searched for the issue but couldn't find any solution.
Please guide me on this issue. Appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Hi Rahul,
Per my understanding, the Multiple Line of Text column not showing up in all the form pages in one of your site.
I suggest you do as follows to troubleshoot this issue in your environment:
1. Is there any update or customization applied to this site recently?
2. Please inspect the HTLM source code of the Multiple Line of Text field in NewForm page to see if there is corresponding HTML code in the page. In my page, the HTML
code of the Multiple Line of Text field like this:
3. If the HTML structure exists, then it is probably a CSS issue, please check if there is custom CSS style applied to this site which would conflict with the built-in
style of the Multiple Line of Text field.
Thanks

Handshaking DMM with multiple Switch devices - DAQmx error

Hi.
I'm trying to create a handshaking loop with DMM (PXI-4071), SWITCH (PXI-2569) and MUX (PXI-2575). All three instruments are in segment 2 of PXI-1045 chassis (slots 8, 9 and 10) and I am using PXI trigger lanes to route triggers.
I followed the NI article 'Multi-module Scanning with National Instruments Switches' - I modified the NI SWITCH example 'niSwitchDMMSwitchHandshaking' to configure the other SWITCH but when I tried to run the example, I got an error:
0xbffa6b9a - No registered lines could be found between the device in the route. (pop-up screenshot is in the attachment). It is the niSwitch_InitiateScan function for the second Switch that returned the error.
Changing PIX trigger lanes has no effect.
I tried both CVI and LabVIEW examples with the same result.
I even tried to use two 2575 MUXes - same result.
Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong?
Solved!

Hi Pavel,
For the purposes of this post, I'll define
the measurement complete signal (sent by the DMM to the switch modules
after each measurement) as 'MC' and place it on TTL0.
For the
purposes of this post, I'll define the scan advanced signal (sent by the
switch module(s) to the DMM once the relays have settled) as 'SA' and place
it on TTL1.
You mentioned you're using NI-Switch, which is NI's IVI
compliant switch API. Since the IVI Foundation regulates the behavior
of IVI compliant software, we must adhere to their rules when
implementing our API. Unfortunately, the IVI switch standard doesn't
provide a method to control arbiting of triggers between multiple switch modules
simultaneously.
Let's
look at what happens when we setup a system with multiple switch
modules handshaking with a single DMM. The DMM is going to take a
measurement and then send MC on TTL0. Meanwhile, each switch is listening to TTL0,
waiting for the MC pulse. When the MC pulse is received, each switch sets
the relays according to its next scan list entry, waits for debounce,
and then sends SA on TTL1. The problem we run into here is that depending on the switch module, number of relays connected simultaneously, jitter, etc, it's possible that one module will send the SA trigger on TTL1 before the other. Since the IVI spec doesn't provide any way to implement a 'master' switch or an arbitor, it's impossible to implement a system such that only the last switch that settles sends a trigger. Therefore, what happens is we get a whole bunch of switch modules sending triggers at slightly different times onto TTL1. If one switch is driving TTL1 high while the others are driving TTL1 lo, it's remotely possible that we could damage the TTL circuitry on the PXI backplane.
To date, NI hasn't seen any failures due to simultaneously driving the TTL lines high and low at the same time with NI switch hardware, but it is theoretically possible that damage could occur. For this reason, NI implemented a change in DAQmx
9.0.0, 9.0.1, and
9.0.2 that prevents a user from setting up handshaking with multiple switch modules while using NI-Switch. What does DAQmx have to do with this, you might ask? A component installed with DAQmx is responsible for verifying the triggers are valid.
Customers with existing NI-Switch multi-module handshaking applications will find that upon upgrading to any of the above three versions of DAQmx, the error you observed will occur. We've evaluated this customer feedback and have decided to revert to the previous functionality in a yet-to-be released version of DAQmx. Please note that NI does not advise driving the same TTL line with multiple sources due to the chance that we'll double-drive the line. Therefore, it goes with out saying that NI does not advise using NI-Switch in multi-module handshaking applications. We do, however, still recommend NI-Switch for Syncrhonous triggering because the switches never send triggers (in synchronous mode, the DMM just waits a predefined amount of time before switching).
Note that if you use the DAQmx Switch API, we're no longer bound to the IVI spec, which means we have an arbitor that ensures only one switch module drives the SA trigger on TTL1. NI highly recommends that customers evaluate using the DAQmx switching API for multi-switch handshaking applications. An example DAQmx handshaking application for the DAQmx Switch API is located in Example Finder»Hardware Input and Output»DAQmx»Switches»Switch Scanning with DMM - Handshaking.vi.
Note that in DAQmx, we'll only have one scan list, regardless of the number of switches we have. Note that the syntax in DAQmx scanning is different than NI-Switch. I'll defer a detailed explanation of the differences to the DAQmx and NI-Switch Help (search for 'scan list'), but in short, we'll need to include the DAQmx Device name prior to each connection. For example, in NI-Switch, if we want to connect CH1 to Com1:
CH1->Com1;
In DAQmx, we'll need to include the Device name:
Dev1\CH1->Com1;
Note that to add additional switch modules in the DAQmx API, we simply
call the Set Topology and Reset VI multiple times:
DAQmx keeps the
session loaded in memory and as I noted above; we define which switch
does the action as part of the scan list entry.
If you'd still like to use NI-Switch, you could roll back to DAQmx 8.9.5 or previous, or if you want to stick with 9.0.x, I highly recommend that we daisy chain the triggers as follows:
DMM Measurement Complete to Advance Trigger on Switch1 via TTL0
Scan Advance from Switch1 to Advance Trigger on Switch2 via TTL1
Scan Advance from Switch2 to Trigger Source on DMM via TTL2
Note that we'll need an additional TTL line for each switch module. Also note that some switch modules allow front panel triggers, which reduces the number of TTL lines we'll need on the backplane, but which requires external wiring between switch modules.

Multiple Capture Devices on Windows

I have two USB based capture devices running on my Windows Server 2003 box. I need to transmit the feed from both devices simultaneously. Unfortunately only one entry for the VFW shows up in the list.
When I do my testing and try to transmit from JMStudio things work fine. Windows pops up and asks me to select a capture device. I can handle that. When I try to run two instances of the video transmit class, same deal. I can handle having to select the devices.
However when I use the VideoTransmit embedded in my code as an external class I never get the selection window. I just get an error that says the device is already in use....
Any ideas on what I can do?

So I have solved it. As it would turn out you can only have one connection to vfw in any single virtual machine, so what I had to do was run it in a separate command line window. I find this a serious pain but what can you do.
Hopefully this helps someone and they don't spend two days trying to figure out the problem.

Can multiple Virtual Devices use the same IVI Driver Sessions?

I am using Switch Executive 2.0 and I'm having problems creating multiple Virtual Devices.
I have created a virtual device on a development computer that has no hardware connected to it. This virtual device uses specific drivers to simulate the devices. The problem I'm having is that when I create a second virtual device and try to add the same IVI Switches as the first Virtual device, I'm getting the following error:
An error has occurred while attempting to access the device deviceA_ivi.
Error -223116 occurred:
Internal Software error occurred in Switches software. Please contact National Instruments Support.
File name: .\source\mxsWrappers\tMXSObject.cpp
Line Number 192:
Status Code: -223116
Can someone please explain why?

Can you please elaborate on how did you create those simulated devices? Namely, what does your IVI configuration look like? What does the driver session for the logical name look like? What's the software module? What's the hardware module? What is the driver setup string, and what is the simulation mode for the device in question?

1 line item in invoice for Multiple line items of SO

Hi SD Gurus,
My client requirement is multiple line items of the sales order should reflect as a single line item in the invoice ..?
For ex: I am using Service material type Dien & material created under different material groups.
My Sales order looks somthing like below with material no & amount:
10 Testing charges    10$     material group xx1
20 Baking charges     20$     material group xx2
30 Scan/Taping          20$    matierial group xx1
Now in the invoice its should reflect only with 1 line item with the whole amount 50$.
Kinldy let me know how this requriement can be fullfilled.
Thanks,
Rahul

Dear Rahul
I think you can apply Rate Routing for this.
A rate routing is a routing for repetitive manufacturing. It enables you to easily reproduce the lean production process.
In the rate routing, the production rate per operation is defined (production time according to a base quantity). Set-up time is not usually defined, since no changes to setup are planned.
However, you can also use standard routings. A standard routing represents the various steps of production (such as setup, processing, teardown and so on), operation by operation, if necessary with suboperations.
A rate routing does, however, offer all the same functions as a standard routing.
<b>Structure</b>
If you use the same standard value key for all the work centers on the line, the system copies the descriptions of the standard values to the routing as the column headings of the operation overview.
If you use different standard value keys for the work centers, the system copies the descriptions into the routing that is entered in the control data for the routing in Customizing.
To create a Rate Routing, follow the steps as under:-
1) Starting from the main Line Design menu, choose Rate routing --> Create.
       The system displays the initial screen for rate routings.
2) Enter the plant, the material and in the field Group, the group to which you want to assign the rate routing.
3) Choose Enter.
     The system displays the screen Header details.
4) Enter the following data:
         => the routing description
         => the plant
         => the usage of the rate routing, i.e.production
         => the status, i.e. released
         => the unit of measure of the materials to be produced
5) Save your rate routing.
<b>Result</b>
You have created the rate routing. Continue creating the main production line and if necessary, feeder lines.
You can also take the help of your PP guy for this.
Thanks
