Unable to see IVI drivers in NI max

Hi. I am not able to see IVI driver's list under IVI tab of NI max

Hello,
This may not be the right forum for your issue. This forum is specifically for people with questions about using the Driver Development Kit that allows users to create their own driver for National Instruments devices on unsupported operating systems.
I wouuld recommend posting on the GPIB/Serial/VISA/IVI forum.

Can't see IVI catagory in MAX

Hi All
I got a problem with MAX and IVI
I have installed IVI Compliance Package 3.3 And I can see under the Category "Software" i MAX, but I can't see the IVI category in MAX.
What can be wrong? I have tried to repair my installation with no result.
I also got these programs installed:
IVI Shared Components
IVI VISA COM Standard Components
National Instruments IVI Specific Drivers
National Instruments Software
BTW, what do you thing of using IVI drivers instead off VISA?
Hope you can help
best regards
Bjarne
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Bjarne,
You can try to remove the IVI Compliance installation from the Add/Remove Programs.
Reboot.
Then Download DAQmx8.8: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1085/lang/en and install it(by doing this you are upgrading MAX aswell).
Reboot.
Install IVI Compliance Package 3.3 again.
Please let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Max unable to see ni 9870 or 1

Hi
I have a Crio ni 9022 4 slot, Crio 9113.
Using LV 14.
As far as is see i have all the software installed. Attached is the software installed.
Problems is, i cannot see NI9870/1 in MAX to be able to see the com ports to be able to use them
in scan mode or FPGA.
The Ni9871 will be used in FPGA.
NI 9870 in scan mode.
Thanks in advanced

Hi
Thanks.
Both are using modbus. Ni9871 will be using the ni fpga modbus drivers. deploy onto fpga.
NI 9870 deploy onto the realtime engine of the Crio. Using the modbus drivers supplied by NI.
The Crio's are in there own area in the Network and pc's in another, so have to go through firewalls.
I have 3 pc's, two are dedicated to there own Crio. One pc mine will see all Crio's.
I have one pc connected to a Crio, W3304, and it can see the NI9870/1 in MAx. But can't figure why the other pc
can't see the ni 9870/1 on its Crio W4247. Attached file.
For Scanmode i need the com port address, which comes from MAX.
cheers

Are IVI drivers supported on RT?

I have a PXI-4060 DMM on a remote system. I have been trying to initialize the DMM but have had no success using the IVI drivers. I have set up a Logical Name that is linked to the Driver Session for the 4060, but these are setup in MAX under the host system, not the remote system. I have been unable find drivers for that DMM other than the IVI drivers and if they aren't supported on the RT system, how do I use the 4060 DMM on a remote system?
My cfg is:
IBM laptop running WinXP w/LV 7.1
PXI-1045 chassis w/LV RT and multiple components that all work fine except the DMM
I have the latest drivers/software for everything that I'm aware of (DAQ, IVI, Visa, etc)
Scott

Hi Richard,
Thank you. I ran that test and there are no Visa's running describing any of the PXI instruments. I've attached a screenshot of the results sitting on top of what I'm seeing in Max. For the Visa's, the 6 GPIB's are for HP6610xA power supplies and the serial's are for an 8-port serial card (plus the 2 on the 8187 controller), which is a PXI card (8421). When I'm trying to initialize the DMM I am running on the targeted system as shown so I should only need the descriptor after the IP address (PXI3::15), correct? As noted from the error description above, the vi is looking for a "DAQ::" descriptor and I don't see anything like that in Max.
Hope this helps with the diagnosis,
Scott

Agilent 34980A simulation using IVI-drivers in Teststand?

Hello! I am unable to simulate 34980A in TestStand and here are some results based on testing:
Agilent 34980A is linked to logical name SampleDmm. Simulate With: Specific Driver.
IviStepTypes.seq used with only DMM and Switch steps.
Using IviDMM IVI-C causes runtime-error in Ivi DMM Configure Single Point: Component Works IVI Control Error: The IVI Configure operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: Extension capability not supported by instrument driver. (Base)
Using IviDMM IVI-COM causes runtime-error in Ivi DMM Read Single Point: Component Works IVI Control Error: The IVI Read operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: Attribute ID not recognized. [IVI Error Code: BFFA000C] Source: TSIviStepTypes
Skipping Ivi DMM SFP -step removes that error but next one waits in Ivi DMM Configure Multi Point: Component Works IVI Control Error: The IVI Configure operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: Attribute or property not supported. [IVI Error Code: BFFA0012] Source: TSIviStepTypes
Skipping multi point steps helps until Ivi Switch Connect where another error hits: Component Works IVI Control Error: The Connect operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: No path was found between the two channels. [IVI Error Code: BFFA2011] Source: TSIviStepTypes
I find some similarities in forum post that involves HP 34401A and IVI .
According to IVI-C Class Driver Support for IVI-COM Specific Drivers the fault might be in 64 bit system (the note in the end). Is this the case? I can't use IVI-COM-drivers in 64bit system?
Example's default DMM Hewlett-Packard 34401A Digital Multimeter simulation works perfectly in unmodified example(it has IVI-C). It even shows simulated numbers in the SFP which is zero all the time with Agilent.
Has anyone succeeded to simulate 34980A properly in TestStand? Any knowledge about how to solve this thing? Any help is welcome. Thank you.
Setup:
-Teststand 5.1
-Windows 7 64bit
-IVI shared components 2.2.1
-Visa shared components 1.5 64bit
-Agilent IO libraries suite 16.3 Update 1
-Agilent 34980A IVI Driver 1.5.3
-MAX/Agilent 34980A published APIs:
-IviDmm 4.1 IVI-COM (IVI-C tried with less success)
-IviSwtch 4.0 IVI-C & IVI-COM

Some IVI drivers are designed to work in simulation mode, that is, the virtual instrument can be defined in MAX but no physical instrument is necessary to use the "instrument". If you turn off the simulate checkbox on the validate dialog box, TestStand will create the instrument session without simulation and the driver will attempt to talk to a physical instrument. If no physical instrument definition is available or if the address defined for that virtual instrument is incorrect, the above error can occur.

IVI driver session In MAX

Hello,
I am confused with IVI drivers. I have two IVI drivers for the same instrument( one of them is newer). When I install the older one, I can see a driver session under drivers session category in MAX but when I install the new one, I do not have drivers session for the instrument in MAX. what is the problem?
Thanks,
Ela

HI,
That is Dc850W IVI-C driver. I got it from the vendor site
http://www.programmablepower.com/products/XTR/XTR_Downloads.htm
That is power supply, the older version is available in idnet, but it has some problems as well, but at least it works somehow!
Thanks,

Using IVI drivers in LabView 5.1.1

Hi,
We have a set of IVI drivers ( class specific and custom specific ) developed in LabWindows/CVI 7 and IVI Compliance package 2.2 version. We want to use these drivers in a new application in LabView 5.1.1 version. I want to use the class specific drivers through the IVI class drivers in LabView 5.1.1 so as to cater for the interchangeability aspect configuring the logical names in MAX. Finally I would be creating an Installer with executable and distributing it.
I want to clarify few issues.
1. Please let me know whether I need to install any other software's apart from NI DAQ, IVI compliance package 2.2 and the Installer in the User PC. Does the IVI engine, Tool set, Class drivers for LabView 5.1.1 come with the compliance package?
2. Does MAX 2.1 support IVI drivers, interchangeability through class drivers and compliance package 2.2 or should I use MAX 3.0 for best results?
3. When I import a IVI driver (developed using IVI compliance package 2.2) to LabView 5.1.1 and try to use the functions there are some problems in the functions. As per the IVI specifications 3.2, functions GetErrorInfo and ClearErroInfo are changed to GetError and ClearError. But it shows error in the functions at those points and we have to go to IVI Error Converter.vi and change the configuration of the library node and direct it to the GetError function. Do we have an alternative to avoid this process?
It would be of great help if somebody can clear these issues.
Thanks & Regards,
Siddu

1. The IVI Compliance Package (ICP) 2.2 installs the IVI Engine and Class Driver support for LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1. It does not install Class Drivers for LabVIEW 5.1.
2. ICP 2.2 requires MAX 3.0 to get the IVI interchangeability provider in MAX.
3. LabVIEW 5.1 was released before the official IVI specifications 3.2 were approved. Prior to 3.2, the function names were GetErrorInfo and ClearErrorInfo. Those changed to GetError and ClearError. The LabVIEW wrapper generation tool that shipped with LabVIEW 5.1 is not aware of these changes. Therefore, my suggestion is to upgrade to a later version of LabVIEW so that you will have support for the current IVI specifications and class drivers.

My multimeters don't function properly with ivi drivers

I have 4 Keithley MM in my setup. I am using the ke2000.dll ivi drivers for all my meters. I have also labeled each meter MM1..MM4, however when I make a call using MM1, MM3 is the one being control? How can I configure MAX properly to avoid this or is it unavoidable?

Did you download the driver from the National Instruments web site, or did you get it from Keithley?
Which GPIB board do you have?
If you are using NI IVI driver or board, you should post this question to the GPIB forum to find out how to configure the driver in MAX.

Ya innocence is acceptable but not the lazyness .....and Its also not possible to tell each & every new commer about the rules & regulation keep on saying its not possible...
From our side is also there is some mistake to make them aware of this professional forum .
First i want to point No special tutorial is available when some is registering with the sdn..No one is intrested to study pages of pages rules and regulations until or unless they experience..There should be a manditory tutorial if possibel video(More effective or other wise Power point presentation for some time..add the contents with examples) which should be taken for awhile like what's this forum intensions and how can u search a answer .....and what happens if we post irrelevant subjects , Phrases..After doing all this if some one does post the wrong one then definelty there is reason to get him punished
Of course, I very firmly believe that "the rules" are a minimum baseline rules - but I think often there are easily misunderstood expected behavior in the prefessional forums .

My opinon is delete is Final option Julius ..
Before this rules..every one is in the gaming of points & prizes..(By copy post , etc)
Now my opinion is that past GUESTS no use of discussing them....instead of deleting them Completely ..Make a option of ban them for a month or for 10 days for sdn Mark them red color ....

Updating IVI Drivers

I've got a question re: updating the IVI drivers in NISE.
We are using a 3rd party switch card, and the IVI drivers are updated from time to time. As we have worked with this particular vendor to help test out their IVI drivers, we have received new "drops" of their IVI drivers over the past couple of months as bugs are found.
On more than one occasion, I had entered a sizeable amount of information into NISE (alias names for IVI Channels, hard-wires, etc.) for our system, and when the new IVI drivers were installed from our vendor, I found that I had to re-enter my alias information, etc. because the IVI drivers had changed drastically.
Up to this time, I have not modified the virtual names in the Driver Sessions to have any custom info, I have only entered it into the Virtual Device as "alias" names, etc. Is there any way to "protect" my custom information from having to be re-entered when significant updates are received from our IVI vendor?
Harv...

Harv,
When a NISE Virtual device is created it is linked to a logical name that points to a driver session that points to an IVI specific driver. If anything changes on the specific driver level the NISE virtual device will not work. When you enter virtual names in the driver session, NISE will be able to see these virtual names at creation of the virtual device only. If virtual names are entered after the creation of the virtual device, the virtual names will not appear in NISE, because the link was already established.
I understand you concern but unfortunately if the ivi specific driver changes its channel names, an already created NISE virtual device will not be able to show these changes.

If I accept cookies, I am unable to see videos in YouTube

Yesterday I upgraded Firefox from version 3.6.13 to version 3.6.14 on two different machines (both of which use Windows XP). And then a very strange thing happened: after that I am unable to see YouTube videos. I can see hear the sound but there is no image (there is a white space instead). Furthermore, this only happens when I am a regular user, not an administrator. And it happens only with YouTube. The only way I found to fix the problem was to delete all YouTube cookies and to block any new ones. Then all works fine.

If you've an answer that works, that's fine. Problem may occur for various reasons, including flash problems and video drivers requiring updating.
As a temporary workaround hovering your cursor over the place where the pop-out button should be below the YouTube video screen, then left click there and the video will then display in the pop-out screen.

Flash 11.7.700.202 - reports of unable to see video

We run a social video site and have had many reports of users unable to see video in the last few days. Our code has not changed and we believe this is due to the 11.7.700.202 release as these problems were not previously reported.
Symptoms:
User is subscribing via rtmfp to a live stream on an Adobe FMS. When this happens, we don't know if they fail to connect or the connect succeeds and they don't see video. We use an inhouse flash app. The feed is available on the FMS since other users are successfully subscribing to the same feed.
This happens to a small percent of users but that leads to many reports across our user base.
Refreshing the page, which reinstantiates the flash app, removes the problem.
Is anyone else seeing problems with viewing video from the newly updated flash player?
Thank you,
Robert

We found the problem and it is on our side, not a problem with the flash upgrade. I'll write what happened here in case it can help anyone else.
On Sunday night, two days after this post, one of our FMSs stopped accepting RTMFP publishes. When we examined the box we found that it was reporting that it had reached its max licensed RTMFP connections. We know there weren't that number of connections on there and suspect that connections leaked. After restarting the box, the FMS resumed accepting RTMFP publishes. This failure has never happened to us before so we're treating it as a one-off and not investigating.
Since the restart of that FMS, reports of subscribe failures have disappeared. That's great and we're presuming the restart fixed the subscribe failures. The strange thing is that users were reporting subscribe failures several days before we observed any publish failures. That said, we know this FMS was in a strange state so we concluded our investigation.
Thanks to Chris for the quick response on this.

HP 7525 unable to see/connect to hidden secured SSD

I purchased a new HP 7525 All in one printer replacing an HP 7510 printer that recently died. I have updated the firmware of the printer and also am using the latest drivers from the HP website. I am installing on an iMac running 10.8.5.
During the installation procedure when configuring the wireless network (with the USB cable plugged in) the printer is unable to see my hidden network which operates at both 2 and 5 GHz and is secure via WPA2 passcode. Every other Mac, iPad, Apple TV and iPhone in our home uses this network (and have no connectivity issues). I have tried restarting the computer, printer and the router. I have reset the printer back to defaults. I have tried manually entering the network information directly into the printer (same unable to find error message). For those who do (rightfully) ask I am entering the SSID manually (since it is hidden) and am certain it is spelled and spaced properly.
The printer is able to successfully connect to my guest network with no security - that's not what I want though and doesn't suit our needs. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated before I decide to return and find an alternative product. Thank you very much and have a fantastic day.

Hi,
No, it can't see 5GHz networks, it can only see 2.4GHz networks and it supports:
Wireless network: 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n supported.
as shown in the following specs:

You can get your router to broacast BOTH bands and this will be ok. (I'm using the same)

Followup on IVI drivers

Hi,
Thanks all for the help on IVI drivers.
I want to develop a simple interface for a scope. I want to use IVI class
drivers (the "green" drivers?) so that I am as hardware independant as
possible. I have a simple example using the scope class drivers that I am
happy with right now.
I have drivers for my current scope, from lecroy. When I install these
drivers, to
$labview_path/instr.lib/lcwpxxx
I don't get any files with a .dll extension. I can use instrument specific
("blue", right?) drivers from this set-up.
I think I must have a .dll to be able to install a driver in max, then
install a virtual instrument, then install a logical name?
Is there something I can do to make this driver work?
Thanks,
Chad

Thanks, that was the right place to look.

Run cleanup utility, then all ivi drivers in the measurement & automation explorer are deleted,

Hello I have the following problem,
I run the cleanup utility, then all ivi drivers in the measurement & automation explorer are deleted.
when I want to add for example a new driver session then that is not possible to click on "create new".
What is the problem?
regards samuel

Cedric,
In this case its the usb-serial adapter that is likely the cause of the issue. As mentioned in this KB it is likely that MAX doesn't know how to recognize the third-party adapter. You may want to refer to this KB that talks about making VISA calls to third-party devices as it may be useful.
