Using the NI6551 Instrument in Multisim

I would like to use the Digital Waveform Generator. I have Student Version 11.0. I followed the below instructions.
Close NI Multisim if open.
Open the attached 5926_waveform_gen.zip file.
Select My Computer.
Browse to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite 10.1\lvinstruments.
Save the NI655XGenerator.llb file from the zip file to this folder.
I don't have the same toolbar listed in this doc..
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5926#toc1
Is this because I have the student versions of Multisim and Labview or am I just being obtuse?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
If you click on the LabVIEW symbol on the toolbar in the right, you will see the LabVIEW instruments. Take a look at attached screen shot.

  • How to find out the percentage of code loaded using the load instrument vi

    i am loading my software through preload instrument.vi. Is there any way to know the percentage of the vi loaded, in parallel when the vi is getting loaded.

    I do not think so.
    If you carefully watch other loaders, you will see that the bars do not not update at a constant rate. They usually update in chunk fasion.
    You could get the size of all of the VI before starting the loads and update your progress bar based on percent of total code loaded. If smooth updatesis readlly important, you could track the load time vs files size and use that to do some periodic incremental updates.

  • How can I use the Intelligent Instrumentation PCI 20001C card with DIAdem 6

    I need to update my DIAdem Version 4.00 to 6.02. But there is no driver for my measuring card Intelligent Instrumentation PC20001C that i used with DIAdem 4.00.
    What do I need to do?

    I am not sure about version 6.02, but your card seems to be supported in version 8.
    Check here for a list of supported hardware:
    http://www.gfs-ac.de/english/index.htm
    Click on 'Supported hardware" on the left in the 'Products - DIAdem" section and then choose your manufacturer on the right side. For II, it shows support for the PCI 20.001C-1 and -2 in version 8.
    Let me know if you have any additional questions.

  • How do i change the play style (e.g on a violin from arco to pizz) in Kontakt while still using the same instrument track, mid way though the song

    So if the title is not clear, im really stuck. i got Kontakt 2 and the EWQL sound sets the other day from my uncle and I've been trying them out in logic. My problem is, that in my full orchestral piece, I have a violin 1 which plays pizz at the start. Mid way trhough the song i want it playing arco or legato. I cant do it without physically creating another track to play it on. Is it even possible to change it half way?
    Thanks guys
    Jonathan

    Most keyswitched instruments have that already built into the Kontakt patch.  It's probably possible to add that functionality either by editing in Kontakt or doing fancy setup in Logic's environment window, but either of those would be pretty complicated.
    If a patch already has those, it should show up in the keyboard view in kontakt (colored keys away from the rest of the instrument range, sometimes a different color).

  • Using the Software Instruments

    Okay, having trouble trying out any of the software synths in Logic
    Was following Logic Pro 7 Tutorial Book on P. 68 in creating
    Audio Objects manually, but got lost after I created a New Audio Object and
    how to click a Channel Entry in Obj Parameter Box?
    I simply want to try out the software synths (don't have a MIDI keyboard yet)
    I know how to activate Caps Lock to basically control synths
    Just missing the simples steps about activating the ES1 synth or
    any of the other synths
    thanks

    Choose an Instrument track, assign an instrument to it, push the caps lock and play.
    If needed, place the track in record mode.

  • How can I increment channels on 34970A DAQ with the 34908A 40 channel mux using the LabVIEW instrument library.

    I have my external multimeter reading a voltage on a channel but with my LabVIEW program, I am trying to increment the channels so I can see the voltage on each of the 40 channels. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jason

    Dennis,
    The channels vi that you attached to your response worked perfectly. Thank-you very much for your help. I am completing this LabVIEW vi as a workterm project as I am an electronics student at a local college in Newfoundland. I will be sure to add your name to the list of acknowledgements in the report.
    Thanks again,

  • I get an error when I use the instrument driver KE230x.

    Good day.  I am using the ke230x instrument driver connected to a Keithley 2306-PJ.  I am using the USB to GPIB to communicate with the instrument
    I load the Getting Started VI and when I hit run I get the following error message
    ====================================================================
    Error - 1074003951 occured at ke230x Initialize With Options.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFC0011) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFC0011) Identification query failed.
    Elaboration: Failed to Recognize Model
    =====================================================================
    When I place the "id query" switch into the false position, everything appears to be working.  I have left the "reset device" in the true position and I see the instrument resetting.
    I do not understand what is happening?
    Thank you for your time and help.

    Good day.  Dennis - thank you for your response.  My next question is if I leave the ID Query off (false) position, I still cannot get the program to work. 
    My guess is that I am doing something wrong (I am relatively new to LabView).  I use the Getting Started vi and everything looks to be working okay.  I then start the Application Example (I run the Getting Started vi before I run the Application Example to make sure that the Application Example has the correct instrument handle).  When I run the Application Example I get the following error message
    Error -1074130544 occurred at ke230x Configure Current Limit.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFA1190) The session handle is not valid.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Using the TNT4882 Linux Driver Inside Instrument

    I am running Linux as the operating system inside a piece of test equipment I'm designing (embedded application). I am planning on using the National Instruments TNT4882 GPIB IC. The processor is a Pentium class processor. Will the NI Linux driver for the TNT4882 work for this application? Or does this driver make itself the controller on the GPIB bus no matter what?
    Anyone have any experince with this? Thanks!

    Hi Crytan,
    This is the type of application for which NI-Device was developed. Ni-Device is an instrument side driver that allows you to implement Talker/Listener applications. NI-Device maps the IEEE 488.2 Message protocol state machine, so the device would be IEEE 488.2 compliant. This would be the recommended driver.
    There is a DDK for NI-Device 1.4, which is ported to Linux. The driver is written in C++ and the API is also C++.
    This is not a free driver. You can get more info at:

  • Why can't I use the software acoustic guitar in drop-D tuning?

    While using the software instrument acoustic guitar, all notes at D1 and below play a chord-like sound.  Everything above D1 sounds normal.  I can't imagine this is by design, considering drop-D is a common tuning. Is this a known defect, or have I got something configured wrong?

    Here's the solution (just in case someone else stumbles across this same problem and actually finds my question).
    I'm an absolute beginner, so I'll describe this at a high level since I don't know all the correct terminology.
    Open the ESX24 sampler on the Acoustic Guitar track.  The selected instrument will be "Acoustic Guitar".  Make a copy of that and rename it to Drop-D Acoustic Guitar.  Bring up the instrument editor (the edit button).
    Oddly, from the keyboard, D1 plays fine.  But in my song, D1 is triggering two samples.  When I play the note from the score (by clicking on the note), the instrument editor highlights to two samples, Zone #1271 and Zone #1399.  1399 is a chord and it is played in the range C1 to D1.  I'm not sure how the ESX24 determines when to play each sample, since pressing D1 on the keyboard of the instrument editor only highlights 1271, but I don't really care.  I changed the entry in the 1399 row to set the Key Range Hi to be C#1, so that it won't play on D1.  There may have been another sample I had to do this to, but I can't seem to find it.  In any case, you get the idea.  Save the instrument, and now you can reliably play a drop-D guitar.
    I hope that description was good enough to put you on the right track.

  • How Do I Get the Use the New Schematic Capture in NI Multisim 11.0?

    Hello Multisim Users! 
    If you have begun the transition to NI Multisim 11.0, I wanted to provide you with some resources that will definitely help in understanding the benefits of these new features, as well as how (and when) to use them.
    The new schematic capture net system in NI Multisim provides a number of benefits to the user. Most notably engineers, can now take advantage of an up-to-date and intuitive circuit design environment. As a part of the complete re-architecture to our schematic capture environment in Multisim 11, users can now place a host of different connectors to symbolize the virtual connections in their designs. 
    Check out to use these new connectors with this brand new DevZone article (with embedded video): http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/11219
    Also available for those transitioning to NI Multisim 11.0, we have created a special FAQ (or KnowledgeBase article) which will demonstrate exactly what to expect from this experience:  http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AD965CF4EA0F0FD2862576F5006BCB60
    Thanks Greatly! We look forward to hearing your feedback on these new tools.

  • IIs there any way of loading in a MM54C221J component into multisim with out having to use the component wizard?

    Im trying to use a MM54C221J multivibrator in multisim, but it's not in the library.
    Does anyone know if I can get hold of one with having to use the component wizard?
    Many thanks 

    Hello GFear,
    There are several sources for components that aren't native to multisim.
    You can directly contact the manufacturer of the component should they have the multisim model available.
    You can also search the web incase another user has created the component.
    I have searched for the MM54C221J and have not found one available online.
    If you are having trouble using the Component Wizard here is a useful link that breaks down each of the steps.
    To create a component you will need a spice model of the component which you should be able to acquire from the manufacture.

  • How can I use different presets on the same instrument?

    I use Session Horns Pro with Kontakt Played in Mainstage 3.
    You can choose different presets within Session Horns without having to load additional samples and take up more memory.
    How can I create different patches that use the changes of Session Horn Patches without duplicating the samples in Kontakt?
    If I copy the channel strip and 'Paste as alias" changes made to one copy are the same as the alias. It seems there must be a way to "Automate" controls in an alias that is unique to each patch. I could also use to do this on instruments like Vintage Clav and Vintage B3 where I don't want to create duplicate instances of CPU hungry plug ins just to use different presets in different patches.
    Thanks in advance to anyone out there who knows of a workaround!

  • How can I use the instrument toolbox in MATLAB 6.1 to contol the PCI-GPIB card under Linux?

    I'm trying to use the PCI-GPIB controller to control lab equipment through MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1) under Linux. MATLAB's instrument toolbox seems to integrate with NI's board, but the MATLAB documentation says it requires the installation of a driver. I've downloaded the linux gpib driver, and I'm able to run the associated utilities (ibconf, ibic, ibsta), but MATLAB cannot interface to it. For example,
    >> g=gpib('ni',0,1)
    ??? Error using ==> gpib/gpib
    The specified VENDOR adaptor could not be found.
    Where can I find a MATLAB driver and how can I install it?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Hello-
    The knowledge base: "Can Matlab for Windows Call the National Instruments GPIB Driver?" Also applies to this question as well. This article is very extensive. Try searching on ni.com for "+matlab +gpib" for more details.

  • Can I use the instrument I/O assistant express vi to communicate with a USB connected instrument ?

    Can I use the instrument I/O assistant express vi to communicate with a USB connected instrument ? My PC is running Windows 2000 et Labview7 express.
    where can I get information or examples on the assistant and USB communication ?

    Yes you can - the Instrument I/O Assistant communicates with message-based instruments through VISA. VISA 3.0 supports USB instruments and VISA 3.0 is the version of VISA that installs with the Assistant.

  • Is it possible to querry all of the Virtual Instruments in a VI using the ActiveX Server Virtual Instrument Class?

    Is it possible to querry all of the Virtual Instruments that exist in the Front panel of a VI using the ActiveX Server Virtual Instrument Class? I can't seem to find a method or property that returns all the Instruments I may want to control from another application.
    I wish not to have to reference to the VI to figure the ControlName by looking at the VI FrontPanel.
    But rather have a prop that exposes the strings of all the Instruments.
    Example:
    allinstr=ObjectVIInstrument.VIControlNames
    Object.SetControlValue(AllInstr(1),value)
    Thanks.
    -Abe

    Abe,
    There is a VI method called "Get All Control Values" that returns an array of {name,typedesc,flatstrvalue} but this method is not exposed to ActiveX interface, most probably because type descriptors and flattened strings are data format internal to LabVIEW.
    However you can make a subVI that inputs the target VI name and returns the name of all controls on the Panel invoking the internal method. Then you call this VI via ActiveX to retrieve the list of Front Panel controls of the target VI.
