Using PC PCI-E cards

Hello everyone
I'm thinking about adding an internal TV tuner to my Mac Pro to use it in Windows XP MCE (dual boot with Bootcamp).Although MCE is not officially supported, but i used the upgrade path to install it. Anyways since Mac Pro has no PCI slot, I was wondering is it possible to use the PowerColor Theatrer 550 PCI-E 1x card? The reason i'm asking is If i dual boot between Mac OS and Windows, Will Mac OS boot properly since it will not recognize the card?
Your help is greatly appreciated

Anyone? Perhaps a little more info would help...

Problem in edge separation measurement by using NI PCI 6251 card

I am trying to measure time delay between two TTL pulses (rising edge of the first signal and falling edge of 2nd signal) generated by two Photo detectors (APD) . These pulses are random pulses. Pulse width is 20ns and height is 2.5 volt at 50 ohm termination. I am using NI PCI 6251 card (M series card) for this job. I have attached my program and DAQ assist settings using for this job to this mail. Problem is   6251 card couldn't detect the pulses from APD. Exactly error shown is
                                                         "Error 200474: specified operation did not complete because the specified timeout expired".
I have tried by increasing the waiting time but it didn't solve the problem. I have tested my program with 20ns pulse width TTL pulses which are generated by a function generator, in this case my program worked well and given expected result.[both the signals are from same function generator and they are synchronized so edge separation measurement gives width of the pulse ] The height (voltage) of the TTL pulse generated by the function generator is 4v at 50 ohm termination. Is this height difference creating the problem? What can be the reason ? Can anyone suggest a better way to do this job.
                                                                                 Thanks in advance

Hey JmBone,
It's possible that you are just suppose to send a 32-bit integer to control the 32 valves. The 'byte offset' is probably just there to allow grouping of 8 valves (8 bits as 1 byte). So instead of sending an 8-bit number with some offset, you just send a 32-bit number and only change the bits corresponding to the valves you want to change. It would be easiest to just have a 32-bit binary array in your code for changine the individual valves and then cast that to a U32 integer before sending it to the Set Attributes VI. Maybe I am misunderstanding the manual, but I don't think 'byte offset' is a parameter you are suppose to specify, and is just there to indicate how the valves can be bundled into a single 32-bit value.

Ryan

Anyone Using the PCI-424e Card Yet?

Just wondering if anyone's using the MOTU PCI-424e card in their systems, and if it's "smooth sailing" or "rough seas ahead".
Thanks.

Anybody using MOTU PCI 424e card for 2408 with new MacPro Cylinder?

I upgraded my older Mac PRO tower which accepted multiple PCI 424e cards for the new Mac Pro cylinder. I purchased from Magma their Express card cage with Thunderbold output in anticipation. Computer arrived and I removed the card and inserted into the card cage, directed audio to the card but no go. iTunes, for example freezes when the card is selected. My MOTU Digital Performer also does not allow Analog in or out with the card.
I have contacted MOTU, they do not have a solution. Magma, the card cage manufacturer has not come back with a solution. Apple suggested visiting these forums for possible ideas.
My studio is dead in the water until I solve this OR I need to go back to the slower old MacPro.
Thanks in advance.

Did you install the FCS suite onto the new computer by using the original disks?
You should. Don't forget to run all updates, repair permissions and restart.
Or did you migrate the applications from the older Mac? You should not do this.

I can not use two PCI-1407 cards together.Why?

When I installed two PCI-1407 cards on the same computer, I can find one card in the M&A Explorer,and that card can work well.But another card is invisible in the M&A Explorer.I can find the card in the source manager of windows 2000.I can't find the reason.Give me a hand,please.

If either of the PCI-1407 cards is rev E or higher, then you need to have NI-IMAQ 2.5.1 or higher installed. You can find the revision by looking at the assembly number on the card, 184895x-01, where x is the revision. Otherwise, I would troubleshoot this like any other NI PCI card. Make sure you have the latest version of the NI-IMAQ driver. Try the cards in multiple slots and in multiple computers if feasible. Does each card work fine when installed by itself? Is there anything unusual about this computer (industrial PC, unusual chipset, etc)? Narrow down the problem to one particular card, slot, or computer. You can also try updatin
g to the latest win2k service pack.

Trying to use 3 PCI express cards on P6N Diamond

On the diamond I have 4 PCI express slots. I use a dual monitor setup and currently have 2 nvidia 6800XT video cards that I use for them. It works fine if these are the only two cards installed, but I wanted to use the cards in SLI mode for my main monitor and use a spare nvidia 6600LT card for my second monitor. I read that the chipset supports PCIx16x16x8.
I leave the 6800XTs in the white slots and i try putting the 6600LT in either yellow slot. When I boot up, I get no video until i remove the 3rd card. Is there a bios setting I am overlooking or something? I cannot find any documentation on the 3rd and 4th PCI express slot and have not seen any jumpers either.
I also flashed the bios to 1.10

The physics setup should work through drivers only. It is intended to plug in a bunch of cards and the drivers do the rest...
However, neither nVidia nor ATI support the AGEIA PhysX engine, so it all doesn't apply to games that use that engine (GRAW I & II, etc.). You will need an AGEIA PPU for those games. Both nVidia and ATI have agreements with Havok to use their Havok FX physics engine in the future, but to this date there are no developments there.
So, your hardware can do it, but the software can't...for the time being.

Using a PCI-6534 card, how does one write and read from the board simultaneously after being triggered on the StartTrig input ?

I've copied two NI-developed VI's into a single VI. The first VI is the LV 'Buffered Pattern Input-Trig VI' under examples/daq/digital/653x. Using an external data generator, I send it a pulse on StartTrig, a clock on REQ1 and data on DIOA0. The start pulse is negative going so I set the front panel input to trigger on "falling edge" with clock set to 'external'. This VI is configured as Port 0 and Group 0. Once this VI is triggered I need to then start another VI which is simply the Buffered Pattern Output VI that also ships with LV. This VI is configured on Port 2, Group 1. This VI is used to simply send out a previously d
efined array of data on DIO C0, C1 and C2.
So, I receive a Start Trig, then clock in data, and then immediatly want to send out data. My problem is that I can't figure out when my receiving VI gets triggered on the StartTrig input. If I know when the trigger occurs, then I can wire this condition to a case statement and activate the second, or write VI. Without having the Trigger condition be met to enable the output VI, the problem is that it always outputs without even be triggered. So, where or how do I tap to find out when the StartTrig happens ? In other words, how do I know when the receiving VI has received a StartTrig pulse. There's got to be a way to do this, and I need to run in continious mode, so I can keep receiving and sending out data over and over again. Any ideas ? If your answer is to look at the examples, please tell me exact and specific examples, because I have not been able to find any examples directly related to my goal. thanks.

Nestor-
I tried your first suggestion of connecting ACK1 to ACK2. But, I get Error 10010 at Digital Buffer Control when I run the VI. I've added an array of 32 ones and zeros to the output VI so that I have some data to write. What's really interesting is when I have a scope probe on ACK1 and ACK2 which are now common, the voltage level is less than 5 volts, around 4.7, but there is something wrong with the signal, a few spikes, I've seen this before, like 2 signals are trying to drive the same output or something. When I remove the connection between ACK1 and ACK2 the signal looks perfect since ACK1 is being driven by my data generator. This leads me to believe that you can't connect ACK1 to ACK2, or atleast you can't do it with the way I have the VI'
s configured. Also, I have a scope probe monitoring DIOC0 (since I'm writing to Port 2,which is Port C) and I don't see any data coming out, which makes sense since I get the error mentioned above.
In terms of my configuration, I have 2 VI's on the block diagram. I have Buffered Pattern Input-Trig.VI with the following settings:
Group: 0
Device: 1
Port List: 0
Buffer Size: 1000
Clk Soruce: External
Trigger Type: Start Trigger
Trigger Condition: Trigger off Falling Edge
# of pretrigger points: 0
For the 'writing VI' I copied the Buffered Pattern output-Trig.VI with the following setup:
Device: 1
Group: 1
Port List: 2
#of updates: 1000
Clock Source: Internal
Trigger Condition: Trigger on falling edge
So, do you have any ideas on what might be wrong ? Just realized that I can attach files, so my VI is attached.
thanks.

Which DAQ Driver I need to use for PCIe 6321 card

I tried to install DAQ 9.2.1mx downloaded from net, but then I was unable to use DAQmx related sub VI's.... Then I tried DAQ 9.0mx but same happened with that also... Please suggest the solution.
Any help from your side will be appreciated... Thanks
Solved!

LabVIEW 7.1 is too old, 8.5, 8.6, 2009 may be better. At the same you should choose the corresponding DAQ driver.

Can I use the pci-6259 card with SCXI?

I need to know if the new M style daq cards will still work with the SCXI devices. If so, is there any additional hardware ie. cable adapters that I need?

Craig,
M-Series devices should work just fine with SCXI. You will need a new cable, as the connectors on M-Series devices are different from those on E-Series devices. I believe the following cable should work just fine for your application: SHC68-68-EP.

Dv6265us connexant PCI sound card + windows 7 = Not working

So I'm here becuase I can't find a driver on my own. I've scoured the internet for hours, finding very little to help with my issue. So here goes...
I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 (Dv6265us), and ever since I installed window 7, Windows cannot figure out what drivers to install for the PCI sound card. The best I've found so far says this:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"
"Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
"If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
Now here's the funky part...everywhere I've found information on my laptop, it says I have a Conexant PCI sound card. If I'm wrong I would love for someone to tell me; better yet, a link to a download to actually be able to use the PCI sound card. Right now the card is under other devices and is listed as "PCI Device".
Now the Link I've provided from the conexant site will tell you this under PC Audio Support - Windows® 7,
"Conexant develops audio solutions that are used in a wide range of products including personal computers. We provide customized audio drivers to our customers, which include major computer manufacturers globally. At the request of these manufacturers, Conexant does not provide end-user support or drivers for PC audio products. If you have an issue with the audio configuration in Windows 7, please contact the manufacturer of your computer.
I tried calling HP support, but they wouldn't even answer my yes or no question... "Do you have audio drivers for my laptop that will allow me to hear sound?" Instead of saying yes or no, I was told that I needed to pay fifty to one-hundred dollars;....fifty dollars for a one time fee of telephone service, or one-hundred for the year. I even went as far as asking..."if you can't fix my problem, do I get a refund?" I was told no...so here I am. I've had problems before with hp...but this is rediculous, and whats worse is from the way things look, Connexant was told NOT to support their own product, or provide drivers for windows 7 by their customer(HP). I realize everyone is hurting for money, but **bleep**, this is a new low...

To answer your question, there are no windows 7 drivers for that model notebook. The notebook was designed for Windows 2000, Windows xp and windows vista.
This is one of the issues with upgrading the OS on a computer before checking the specs of the hardware.
I do understand the frustration but it would be more beneficial to revert back to the original OS that the notebook came with. That is what the HP support desk will have you do to prove functionality of the notebook should you have paid for the Diagnostic Support.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP. Clicking the "Kudos star" to the left is a great way to say thanks!

Windows 7 - Pci-to-Pci Bridge (Error: Code 10) - PCI Video Card

Before I state my issues I will list what I'm running and what I'm trying to accomplish.
I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit edition, not the Beta or RC. I have 3 video cards in my possession (listed below).
- (PCIe) Evga GTX260
- (PCI) Evga 9400GT
- (PCI) Evga Fx5500
Out of those 3 cards I only use the GTX260 and the 9400GT. I had to 'retire' the Fx5500 because the latest WHQL (certified) drivers only provide support as far down as the "6 series" Nvidia cards. Unfortunately the Fx5500 is a "5 series" and falls below that line. I have already tried to use the GTX260 and Fx5500 in previous versions of Windows (XP and Vista), but there is no way to download and install two separate drivers for two of the same make of video card - you'll get nothing but errors. There is the option of going to a place like guru3d.com and downloading a custom supported driver that covers both the GTX260 and Fx5500, but the drivers are not certified and lack support. Therefore, I purchased and now use the 9400GT which is covered under the drivers for the GTX260 and eliminates the need for messing around with custom drivers. Also, the 9400GT has a better graphics processor and more memory than the Fx5500, so it was time to upgrade anyway.
Now that you have some background info here is my issue Whenever I install the 9400GT I get a second 'pci-to-pci bridge' entry (the other entry has no errors) that shows up under 'System Devices' in the Device Manager. The second pci-to-pci bridge entry has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on it that refers to a problem. When you check the properties of this device it more or less says that Windows has detected a problem (Error Code 10). The GTX260 still works and even shows up under the 'Display Adapters' as a GTX260, but no entry for the 9400GT exists. I have tried the 9400GT in both PCI slots and each time it does the same thing. If I pull out the GTX260 and ONLY run the 9400GT, I still get the pci-to-pci bridge issue, BUT I do get a picture and can boot into Windows 7 without a hitch. When I do this there is still nothing listed under the 'Display Adapters' as a 9400GT or even a VGA compatible device.
After messing around with this for 10 hours (yes, I said 10 hours) I decided to dig out my retired PCI video card (the Fx5500). When I installed this card I had no 2nd pci-to-pci bridge entry appear under 'System Devices', and the one that was listed had no yellow triangle or error codes. I then checked under 'Display Adapters' and Windows 7 had recognized it as a VGA compatible device and was asking for drivers.
I have now concluded that there is definitely no issue with the motherboard or any of my hardware (including video cards). At first EVGA Support and I had suspected that the motherboard may be bad because of all of the pre-diagnostic steps I had taken during my 10 hour ordeal. I'm not going to list everything I did because it would literally take 3 hours to type it all in. Just believe me when I say that I have tried most things including but not limited to the latest bios updates (flashed 4 times and completely reset to ensure accuracy), custom IRQ management, entire OS re-installation X2, multiple/latest chipset drivers installed, multiple/latest video drivers installed, memtest testing, complete hardware teardown and re-build (adding one device at a time), and MUCH more. The only thing I did not try was installing a different OS other than Windows 7 64-bit to see if I could replicate the issue. This is a waste of time though because lets say that I install Windows XP Pro and the 9400GT doesn't have this issue... Well, that's great, but who gives a damn about XP Pro when I have been using it for the last 9 years and when I have a full version of Windows 7 that I want to use? I'm certainly not going to run XP Pro over Windows 7 just to use this PCI video card. Second, if I install XP Pro and it still gives me the same pci-to-pci bridge error then again, I've only wasted more time because if its not going to work in either OS then Im sure as hell not going to leave XP Pro installed when I can use Windows 7.
Thanks,
piyush

Maybe stupid question now but has your posting anything to do with Toshiba and Toshiba notebooks?

Will PCI-CAN card work with only 2 wires?

If I'm using my PCI-CAN card configured for internal power, do I need to connect anything other than CAN-L & CAN-H to my CAN network? I'm doing this right now and am able to correctly receive packets thru the card. However, it appears that my transmitted packets are not being seen by the other nodes. I'll know more when my CANalyzer arrives, but I was wondering if my cabling is OK as-is.

I currently have a connection set up with only CAN-L and CAN-H wires connected. I am able to transmit and receive with no problems at 500kbs, so it should work as long as the lines are properly terminated. (120ohm resistor bridging the wires at both ends)

How do I synchronize a pulse output to a sine wave input on a pci-6602 card?

I have a sine wave from a function generator as the input on the source of a counter. Input frequencies vary from 2-60 kHz. I want to produce a pulse train at a different frequency (10 Hz), but in phase with the sine wave. I have only been using Labview 5.1 for a short time. I am using the PCI-6602 card with a SCB-68 connecting block.

Hello;
Unfortunately, you can't connect a analog sinewave to the counter source. Counters only work with digital TTL signal type. To accomplish that task, you will need a MIO board working in sync with the 6602 you already have.

Section of the data collected with PCI 1422 card connected to a CCD camera looks step-like

I am using the PCI 1422 card with a DALSA CA-D1-0128T camera to acquire and save fluorescence data from a heart stained with a potentiometric dye. The camera is set to work at 490 frames per second. My acquisition program (made using a producer consumer loop in Labview 2009) works fine most of the times, but sometimes a small section of the collected data looks step-like (not continuous). I have attached herewith a word document containing a snap of the data. Could you please give me some suggestions as to why this happens and how can I rectify it?
Thanks in advance

Hi Anuj,
First, this sounds like a very cool application. What are you measuring? Is it in vivo?
I believe that I see what you are referring to--is it where your cursor is that you are seeing the "step" problem? Also, could you give us a little more information aboutwhat type of data we are looking at? Is this some sort of image analysis data?
In terms of code structure, due to the way that LabVIEW handles image data types (it is essentially a pointer to the data instead of the data itself), I wouldn't recommend passing an image via a queue.
So, please let me know a bit more about what type of data we are looking at, and what your code looks like, and I'll be happy to help.
