The board and my ti4200

Hello.. this is my first post.
I have the 865PE Neo2-LS, 2.6 GHz. First time I ever tried to POST the machine went into an endless reboot loop and my monitor went into "no signal" mode. After powering down and booting up a few times, it finally worked.
My problem right now is with the nVidia software I installed. When I try to open up the nVidia settings tool, the monitor flickers off and on. When I change resolution, or basically anything related to my monitor or video, the monitor flickers off and on. The video card is the LeadTek Winfast A280LE TDH VIVO (128MB DDR - Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 GPU).
Even when i go to normal display settings, when i hit the nvidia tab, it does the same flicker. But it's not so much a flicker, it's a lot slower. -- type thing.
Another thing is whenever I try to change anything in the bios, it goes back to that endless rebooting thing.
But other than that, I'm enjoying the board..

Oh yeah, one other thing I should mention is that I've already upgraded all of the drivers. All the dlls and sys files are on version 6.4.10.5216. I was just thinking maybe I should just downgrade them to an earlier version, would that help?
Thanks.

A moment ago my PC restarted on its own, and when it booted back up again WinXP blamed my video card for the restart. Otherwise, the video card is fine. I can play games and whatever. It's just this little inconvenience which I'm pretty sure one you can help me with..?
Any suggestions? I'm guessing it's blatantly obvious but because I'm such a newb at this I'm not seeing it..

Hi When going from Develop module to print module a white boarder appears on screen which also prints via my epson r3000 printer. I can get round this by exporting photo to Elements and printing from there but can i get rid of the boarder and print from lightroom?

In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

PCI 6602:How can I use the digital lines of the board and in the same time to generate pulse train using a counter?

Hello!
My problem appeared when I tried to update my code from Traditional NI-DAQ Legacy to DAQmx.
I am using 2 counters (counter 5 and counter 7) from PCI-6602, to generate pulse train, and also the Digital I/O lines of the port 0 (the lines form 0 to 7). What I do in my application is that I am starting to generate the pulse train on the output of the 2 counters, and after that I am playing with the state of the digital lines.
In traditional there was no problem using the counters and the digital lines in the same time, everything was going perfectly, but in DAQmx this is not possible.
What happens: I start to generate pulse train on the output of the counters, no errors encountered, but when I try to modify the state of one line of the digital port the generation of the pulse train is stopped. This is happening when I start the task associated to the digital port.
My question is: it is possible to create a channel on the digital lines without altered the channels created for the counters?
Another thing what I manage to see using the "Measurement & Automation Explorer" and Test panels for PCI-6602, basically is the same thing, I generate pulse train on the output of the counter 7 and try to start a task on the digital line, but I get one error :
"Error -200022 occurred at Test Panel
Possible Reason(s):
Measurements: Resource requested by this task has already been reserved by a different task.
Device: Dev4
Terminal: PFI8"
Instead if I use the counter 0 or counter 1 to generate pulse train I don't encounter the same problem.
Which resources are used by the counters 2 to 7 from the PCI-6602 board and the counters 0 and 1 do not use?
Thank in advance for any replies!

Hello Jordan, thank you for your reply.
I am sorry but I can not see or run your example, I don't use LabView, I use Visual C++ for developing.
Here is the code for generating the pulse train:
GeneratePulseTrain(unsigned long ulCount1, unsigned long ulCount2)
    short nStatus = 0;
    nStatus = DAQmxCreateTask("",&m_taskHandle);
    nStatus = DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanTicks (m_taskHandle, "Dev4/count5", "", NULL, DAQmx_Val_Low, 0.0, ulCount1,ulCount2);
    if( bTriggerMode == true) // if hardware trigger is enabled
       nStatus = DAQmxSetTrigAttribute (m_taskHandle, DAQmx_ArmStartTrig_Type, DAQmx_Val_DigEdge);
       nStatus = DAQmxSetTrigAttribute (m_taskHandle, DAQmx_DigEdge_ArmStartTrig_Edge, DAQmx_Val_Rising);
       nStatus = DAQmxSetTrigAttribute (m_taskHandle, DAQmx_DigEdge_ArmStartTrig_Src,"Dev4/PFI17" );
   //set the internal timebase
   nStatus = DAQmxSetCOCtrTimebaseSrc(m_taskHandle,"Dev4/count5","20MHzTimeBase" );
   nStatus = DAQmxStartTask(m_taskHandle);
    return nStatus;
And the code where I try to set the digital line:
SetChannelState(short nState)
    short nStatus = 0;
    uInt8 wrtBuf0[1]={0};
    nStatus = DAQmxCreateTask("",&m_taskHandle);
    // Configure line as output
    nStatus = DAQmxCreateDOChan (m_taskHandle, "Dev4/port0/line0", "", DAQmx_Val_ChanPerLine);
nStatus = DAQmxStartTask(m_taskHandle);
    wrtBuf0[0] = nState;
    nStatus =DAQmxWriteDigitalLines (m_taskHandle, 1, 0, 0, DAQmx_Val_GroupByScanNumber , wrtBuf0, NULL, NULL);
    nStatus = DAQmxWaitUntilTaskDone(m_taskHandle,10);
    nStatus = DAQmxStopTask(m_taskHandle);
    nStatus = DAQmxClearTask(m_taskHandle);
    m_taskHandle = 0;
    return nStatus;

Hi....I am new to the board and a new t3i owner.....

I have had only point n shoot cameras. Can I leave the lens on the camera when I put it in it's case? Also can it be stored for a short period of time with the battery in it? I am taking a trip and would like it ready to use in an instant. Thanks!

Hi...thank you so much for your reply. I do have a Canon case that holds both lens, the body and more. Just was afraid to leave the lens on but wanted it to be ready for use. I will be traveling by car so it will be put in a safe place. Thanks for the tip about sleep mode, had no idea. I am traveling to upstate New York and am excited about the landscape pictures I will be able to take. Any tips on good landscape pictures?

New to the board, and how do you change audio during conv.

Hi all, brand new IPOD owner and convert from the tired Sony MD format.:)
Now for my question. I recorded an anime video to the IPOD, but unfortunately it's in japanese. Anyone knows how to fix this?

well that depends on a lot of stuff...
did you rip it?
with what software?
did you choose english when you ripped it?
if you answered no to the first question you can't change the audio

Question about the logic board and video

Hi, i own a macbook pro 17 in. @ 2.4 ghz, and have the nvida 8600 gt card. I'm pretty sure that the card has failed since no video has shown up during start up 2 weeks ago (i asked a friend of mine, and he had the same problem with a macbook pro 15 in., he was pretty positive on a card failure). I brought it to the local genius bar, and they fixed some firmware or whatnot, and it worked fine for a week. A week later, the same problem of no video showed up during start up.
My question is if this is a video card issue, is it possible that the logic board could have been damaged from the faulty video card? The tech. told me that it might be the board, and im afraid of paying the hefty repair fee, although i personally feel that the card is all to blame.

Here is the article on the NVIDIA 8600 chip:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Note that Apple will do the repair free of charge if the chip fails within the first two years of ownership. The repair will be to replace the logic board, as Apple does not work on boards at the component level. Your machine should be new enough to qualify for the free repair.
Good luck!

PPro CS5 with Matrox RT.X2 board and software

This is on a 64 bit windows Vista Pro PC.
I would like to remove the board and un-install the Matrox software (Matrox effect patterns, Mx Tools and WYSIWYG plug-ins).
If I use the Windows ADD/REMOVE to do that will it affect my Premiere Pro CS5 in any way?
I understand that in doing this any video that used this software would no longer work, which is fine.

Thanks for the response Jim.
I decided to byte the bullet and uninstalled Matrox and the RT.X2 board.
I had no bad effects on Premiere Pro other that the sound, due to the fact that it was provided through the Matrox board.
Un-installed and reinstalled the audio board I had originnaly in the PC and assigned thos hardware to the audio in PPro and ALL is well.

How Multisim, ELVIS 2+ Board, and Labview All Connect

My school recently obtained some ELVIS 2+ boards and I have been tasked with figuring out exactly what they can do and how we can incorporate them into the curriculum as part of my work study. Now I have all the basics down for building a circuit on the ELVIS, getting measurements and controlling inputs on the computer etc. I would like to delve deeper into what the full potential of this device is by integrating it with multisim and Labview. My question is, is it possible to construct a circuit (or partial circuit) in multisim and then send the output of said circuit to the ELVIS board where it could feed into an actual circuit. For example, could I build a voltage supply virtually in multisim, and output the voltage to a specific pin on the ELVIS board where I could wire it into my built circuit? Along the same lines, could I build a circuit on the board and send the output of the circuit to a program in Labview? Is this board capable for such things or is its connections to labview and multisim just used as a comparison tool for real life readings and simulated readings? What is the full potential of this board?

Hello,
Glad to hear about you work with NI ELVIS. The integration between ELVIS and Multisim is limited to running circuit simulations and then comparing results with the real circuit, in other words, you can compare simulated vs real measurements; this is a great approach to circuits education.
Now, if you want to have more control of the inputs/outputs available on NI ELVIS, then LabVIEW is the perfect fit. In LabVIEW you can use the NI ELVISmx Express VIs to configure settings for all the instruments. Furthermore, NI ELVIS is supported by the NI-DAQmx driver, therefore you can use the NI-DAQmx functions to acquire signals from the analog inputs, generate signals in the analog outputs, access the digital I/O and program general counter/timing functionality.
Visit the NI ELVIS & NI myDAQ Instruments and Applications community to learn more about the integration between ELVIS and LabVIEW; in this page you will find some ready-to-use applications.
Hope this helps!

A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section. There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
"""Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
It's better than nothing, but only just."""

OEM M/BOARDS AND MSI WARRANTY ?

Does MSI warranty OEM purchased m/boards past the 14 day period(s) offered by places such as Newegg . Meaning ... if you purchase an OEM board from Newegg and its past THIER 14 day warranty ; will/ or does MSI further cover the board for another 3yr warranty same as a retail board ?
TIA

Quote from: NovJoe on 06-May-07, 12:28:55
If it is a vanilla OEM board, no warranty by MSI.
If it is a retail OEM board, if I'm not wrong, yes warranty by MSI.
You can contact MSI and check out the actual details.
Well Ive ordered OEM's from the Egg in the past but Ive always recieved full retail boxed OEM'S , but not this time .This time it seems to be a "vanilla" OEM P6N SLI-FI from Newegg ; as it came in a plain brown box with no accessories ; so I'd imagine there would be no MSI warranty as you mentioned .
Iam having problems with the board and have till Monday to send it back . To be on the safe side , Iam think Iam just going to rma the OEM board for a full a retail box so as not have to worry about the full warranty thing .
Thx for the reply's

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

How do I change the underlying query for the task board (and backlog board) on TFS Preview

All,
We work with multi-area projects, each area representing a significant component within the project with its own release/iteration cycle. i.e. Several areas may be active at once, each with different iterations.
When we look at the task board these take no account of the area being worked on. What I need to do is to be able to change the query behind these boards to point to a particular release/iteration for a particular area.
Unfortunately there is no drop down selection on these pages to see this automatically so I need to be able to change the underlying query that populates these boards to get the the area and release/iteration that I need.... but I can't find where these
are.
Using multiple areas is actually highly frustrating with TFS Preview as it doesn't seem geared up at all to make it easy to switch between them... are we doing something wrong?
I think I can do this by changing the current iteration - but I can't work out how to do this either once an iteration for a particular area has started.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

It is not possible to modify the query behind the task board. If I understand you correctly, you would like to filter the task board by area path.
In TFS 2012 we have repurposed the area path field to be the field that determines the team you are working on. We are continuously improving our product and being able to filter your task is one of the improvements that we are thinking of.
Sorry I can't help you better than this for the moment.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help.
Hi Ewald,
We have a similar problem, see the thread "Best approach for multi-team/multi-projects." on this forum. I'm hopping you can help, since so far the different answers doesn't help.

I have a Mac G4 double mirrored model and everytime I shut it off it will not go on when I hit the power off button. However, if I unplug and plug in the power cord it boots fine and everything is OK. The PMU and logic board have been reset. Any ideas?

I have a Power Mac G4 double mirrored model and everytime I shut it off it will not go on when I hit the power on/off button again. However, if I unplug and plug in the power cord it boots fine and everything is OK. The PMU and logic board have been reset. Sometimes my Mac goes on just by pressing the power on button but most times I have to pull the power cord and put it back in. Any ideas or help out there for this? Could it be a failing power supply? Apple Care says that this model is obsolete so there is no help from there. John

Hi John,
That's often a sign of a bsad Capacitor in the Power Supply, but...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.
