Using an external Clock with NI 6585

I have an interface board connected to a TI ADS6444 Evaluation board (QUAD serializer ADC), in turn plugged into my NI 6585/PXI-7954R, see the Project Screen shot. I can acquire data using internal clock but now I want to switch to an external clock. First I want to get the external clock working then do the unserializing. I am quite new to LabVIEW FPGA.
I get a variety of errors such as " The Read method for IO Module\DDCA_Data_Rd_Rise is used in a clock domain that does not support it. The supported clock domain is "IO Module Clock 0". To change the frequency of the supported clock domain, launch the properties dialog for the CLIP item in the LabVIEW project and choose the "Clock Selections" page." I have tried to configure the clock to fixed and variable frequencies, see clock properties screen shot.
Thanks in advance.

Update
Opened a service request. for this problem.  Talked it over with NI engineer and thought the problem was because I disn't have the latest and greatest software versions e.g. RIO and LabVIEW.  Compiled a blank VI using the DDC connector and comilied successfully.  No matter what I do if I do a FPGA I/O Node call to DDCA_Data_RD_RISE (or fall) I get the error: "The Read method for IO Module\DDCA_Data_Rd_Fall is used in a clock domain that does not support it. The supported clock domain is "IO Module Clock 0".  To change the frequency of the supported clock domain, launch the properties dialog for the CLIP item in the LabVIEW project and choose the "Clock Selections" page." 
For grins I wired the FPGA I/O node Expected I/O module ID to the FIFO input and read a number (7488[HEX]). 
Begining to suspect the NI 6585 CLIP has a bug?

  • Do I have to use an external clock with a cDAQ-9188 and NI 9401 to read a linear encoder? I'm seeing error message that implies that but the example code doesn't show it.

    We can set up a task that works on demand but when we go to continuous sampleing we see Error -200303, which claims an external sample clock source must be specified for this application.  However, some of the NI linear encoder example code doesn't show that (uses the cDAQ 80 Mhz clock) and the documentation didn't mention that. 

    It's mentioned in the 918x user manual:
    Unlike analog input, analog output, digital input, and digital output, the cDAQ chassis counters do not have the ability to divide down a timebase to produce an internal counter sample clock.  For sample clocked operations, an external signal must be provided to supply a clock source.  The source can be any of the following signals:
    AI Sample Clock
    AI Start Trigger
    AI Reference Trigger
    AO Sample Clock
    DI Sample Clock
    DI Start Trigger
    DO Sample Clock
    CTR n Internal Output
    Freq Out
    PFI
    Change Detection Event
    Analog Comparison Event
    Assuming you have at least one available counter (there are 4 on the backplane), I would suggest to configure a continuous counter output task and use its internal output as the sample clock.  Specify the internal counter using an "_" for example "cDAQ1/_ctr0".  The terminal to use for the sample clock source would be for example "/cDAQ1/Ctr0InternalOutput".
    Which example uses the 80 MHz timebase as a sample clock?  It is far too fast for a sample clock on the 9188 according to the throughput benchmarks (80 MHz * 4 byte samples = 320 MB/s).  There is also no direct route between the 80 MHz timebase and the sample clock terminal for the counters--making this route would use a second counter anyway.

  • How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop does not have a docking station.  What do I need to get  to use two external monitors? 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming.  HP makes no true docking station for your laptop. 

  • Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partition?

    Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partitioned Time Capsule? I understand that the Time Machine (software) cannot backup a networked drive (the external) and that Time Capsule (the router/wireless hard drive) does not have its own backup software... so it won't backup the connected drive. What I would like is an alternate solution for having an automated backup of a networked drive. A 2TB Time Capsule has more than enough space for Time Machine backups of my family of Macbooks, so I had hoped to mirror a 500GB external drive (with shared media files) to a portion of the Time Capsule internal hard drive. I assume this would require a partition of the Time Capsule drive. If not, would the sparse file from the various computers being backed up need to be copied to the external drive as part of the RAID1 setup? This seems like overkill for the Time Machine backup, but it would cover the media files.  

    The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
    It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
    The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
    Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

    Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

  • I want to use a external cam with xp in bootcamp but....

    Ive read reports that you will blue screen if you try and use your built in isight with xp.
    I would like to therefore use an external one with msn messenger in xp on my intel imac.
    My question is can I disable the built in isight before I do this otherwise if im in msn and I click 'video' then surely the imac will look for the isight rather than the external webcam thus causing a blue screen?
    basically I just want my external cam to take priority over the built in isight when in windows.
    Cheers J!

    Yes, you should disable the iSight camera under Imaging devices in the Device Manager.

  • Using an external display with the macbook air

    hi, i wanna know if i can use an external display with the macbook air as the tunderbolt is a bit pricey? i was thinking about buyin a LCD moniter wih a VGA port. many thanks

    Yes.  You can use VGA DVI or HDMI monitors by buying a  Minidisplay port to xxx adapter and the the appropriate cable (vga, dvi or hdmi).
    The MiniDisplayport adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.

  • How to use an external clock to acquire analog data?

    I need to acquire dta using an external clock which has a variable frequency (in a small range). I am using a PCMCIA 6062 board. Does it accept external clok?

    The 6062 can acquire data based on an external clock. If you are programming in LabVIEW, take a look at the shipping example called Cont Acq&Graph ExtScanClk.vi. If you are using C or VB, there are examples in the NI-DAQ/Examples folder.

  • Using a external HD with Airport Extreme

    I just purchased the Airport Extreme and am using an external HD with it, mostly for my iTunes collection so I can access it even when I am wireless. I am wondering if the HD needs to be spinning all the the time though, even when I am not using the HD (like when my laptop is off). It seems as though the HD is spinning as long as it is connected to the Airport Extreme. Is there anyway to have it stop spinning when not in use? I have tried using the disconnect feature and although it removes it from my desktop, the HD is still spinning. Please help.
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't think it needs to be spinning all the time, others disagree with me, whatever is the correct answer it doesn't matter as there is no way to stop it. Hopefully we will at least have the option at some time in the future to let it spin down.

  • Using an external DAC with Apple TV

    How is the sound quality using the Apple TV connected to a home audio system? Is anyone using an external DAC with the Apple TV to up-sample the audio?

    The onboard AppleTV DAC will only be used to output analogue audio via the stereo jacks - HDMI or optical out will use the DACs in the TV/processor/receiver anuyway.
    Stereo audio files are converted to a PCM bitstream (which will not use a DAC) for output via optical.
    Personally I think even lossy MP3/AAC sounds great via optical from AppleTV. My Yamaha DSP won't upsample the PCM bitstream, but frankly upsampling audio isn't going to bring huge sonic benefits as it's only interpolating what isn't there isn't the first place. Granted opinions differ on whether upsampling makes things sound better or not, but you can't reproduce perfectly information you don't have , the interpolation will only be guesswork.
    You may want to look at the 2 links here, which are along the lines of using AppleTV and Airport Express in hi-fi setups:

  • Using an external GPS with an iPhone 4S

    For improved accuracy, I want to use an external GPS with my iPhone 4S. I have purchases a Dual XGPS150A Bluetooth GPS receiver and successfully paired it with the iPhone. Dual's "GPS Status Tool" app reports the GPS data from the device just fine. So now I want to get other apps like MotionX to use the GPS data from the XGPS150A in preference to the iPhone's own GPS.
    Dual's technical support assures me this can only be done by putting the iPhone in Airplane Mode then re-enabling Bluetooth. Well that's a showstopper. However, in another post here, I found this statement from BrettAtBadElph: "As long as you are using an Apple-approved external GPS accessory like the Bad Elf, XGPS150, or GNS, you don't have to worry about configuring the GPS source being used. The iOS device will pick the source with the best accuracy, and shut down the internal receiver to save power."
    Is BrettAtBadElph correct? If so, can anyone point me to some documentation?

    I've received no responses, nor have I found any difinitive info elsewhere. But I can say that testing this weekend has made it clear that that BradAtBadElph is correct -- MotionX is clearly using the XGPS150A GPS data in favor of the iPhone's native GPS.
    Funny aside: Dual's GPS Status Tool app is fairly weak -- it cannot dissplay any GPS data if another GPS-consuming app like MotionX or Waze is in memory.

  • Can you use any external display with a macbook?

    hi all,
    I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)

    To original poster:
    Yes.
    Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).

  • Is it possible to read digital data using an external clock (PCI-6259 M)?

    I’m using a NI PCI-6259 M Series card and trying to write my program in VC++6.0 using the functions in the DAQmx driver.
    Question1: Not all functions listed in the NI-DAQmx C Reference Help seems to be supported by my NI-card, where can I find information about which of the functions that are supported?
    Question2: I want to read data from a device that clock out data on the falling edge of a clock signal. The clock signal and the data signal are routed to two DIO terminals on the NI-card. The question is if it is possible to read data using the clock as a sample clock? See two code examples below that doesn’t work. In both cases 10 samples are read at once, even if the external clock is not present.
    Example 1
    // Create tasks
    Status = DAQmxCreateTask("", &m_ReadTrimTask);
    // Set up read task
    status = DAQmxCreateDIChan(m_ReadTrimTask, "Dev1/port2/line0", "", DAQmx_Val_ChanPerLine);
    status = DAQmxCfgChangeDetectionTiming(m_ReadTrimTask,"Dev1/port2/line6","Dev1/port2/line6",DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps, 10);
    // Read data
    int32 sampsPerChanRead, numBytesPerSamp;
    status = DAQmxReadDigitalLines(m_ReadTrimTask, 10, 10.0, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, result, 10, &sampsPerChanRead, &numBytesPerSamp ,NULL);
    Example 2
    // Create tasks
    Status = DAQmxCreateTask("", &m_ReadTrimTask);
    // Set up read task
    status = DAQmxCreateDIChan(m_ReadTrimTask, "Dev1/port2/line0", "", DAQmx_Val_ChanPerLine);
    status = DAQmxSetSampTimingType(m_ReadTrimTask, DAQmx_Val_SampClk);
    status = DAQmxSetSampClkRate(m_ReadTrimTask, 1000.0);
    status = DAQmxSetSampClkActiveEdge(m_ReadTrimTask, DAQmx_Val_Falling);
    status = DAQmxSetSampClkSrc(m_ReadTrimTask, " Dev1/port2/line6");
    // Read data
    int32 sampsPerChanRead, numBytesPerSamp;
    status = DAQmxReadDigitalLines(m_ReadTrimTask, 10, 10.0, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, result, 10, &sampsPerChanRead, &numBytesPerSamp ,NULL);

    Hello Magnus,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    "Question1: Not all functions listed in the NI-DAQmx C Reference Help seems to be supported by my NI-card, where can I find information about which of the functions that are supported?"
    The best place to look for this information would be the M Series Help Manual. There you can find the features of your PCI-6259 and what operations it supports.
    "Question2: I want to read data from a device that clock out data on the falling edge of a clock signal. The clock signal and the data signal are routed to two DIO terminals on the NI-card. The question is if it is possible to read data using the clock as a sample clock? See two code examples below that doesn’t work. In both cases 10 samples are read at once, even if the external clock is not present."
    Look at the "ContReadDigChan-ExtClk_Fn.c" example project which ships with the NI-DAQ driver. This is located at: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Digital\Read Values\Cont Read Dig Chan-Ext Clk.
    You will have to make some minor modifications to convert this to a finite acquisition, but that is simply a matter of changing the "sampleMode" parameter of the DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming() function. You will also have to route your clock signal to a PFI line and specify which line in your code.
    I hope this helps.
