Vi driver for Varian Dual HV power supply

hi, I'm looking for a driver for the Varian Dual and/or Multivac HV power supply.
if anybody has it, please let me know...
thank you
Andrea Milocco

Hi Andrea,
unluckily the instrument driver for your Power Supply is not available on NI site.
You can try to search the driver at link: Search Instrument Driver
Otherwise you could ask information about driver directly to the instrument constructor.
But if you know the commands to talk with instrument and if you are using Labview or Measurement Studio or LabWindows/CVI 7.x you can easily create the communication with the Power Supply through the Instrument Assistant.
Regards.

Manually installing driver for Oxford Instruments IPS power supply

Hi!
I am trying to install the driver for an Oxford Instrument IPS 120-10 power supply. I have found the neccesary driver on the Oxford Instruments site:
http://www.oinst-software.com/OIRI/docs/LV5drv/lv5drv.htm
My problems stems from the fact the copy of LabVIEW is on a non networked computer, so I have to download the driver on this one and transfer by a USB stick.
The driver was written for version 5.0 and I am operating 8.5, will this be a problem?
How do I install this file? When unzipped I have a collection of .LLB files and one .INI file but no further instructions.
I can't use the "find instrument drivers..." as its not connected to the internet.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jon

The best place to place an instrument driver is in the instr.lib folder. That way, after re-starting LabVIEW, the functions will automatically appear on your palette.
You will have a mjor problem with the driver though. LabVIEW 8.5 will not open a VI written in 5.0. You would need LabVIEW 6.x or higher to open it and then save it. If you don't have any other version of LabVIEW, you might try posting the driver and ask for help in converting it.

Problem with Time Capsule used with an External Hard Drive (with it's own power supply)

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with Mavericks installed. I have the latest Time Capsule (802.11 ac) with an external hard drive hooked up via the USB port. The external hard drive was taken from an older Mac desktop machine and is formatted correctly (Mac OS Extended Journaled). The external hard drive has it's own power supply and shows up fine when connected directly to my laptop.
For whatever reason I CAN see the hard (LAN Storage) when in AirPort utility but I CANNOT find or access the drive from anywhere within the Finder.
My finder settings are set this way:
My FInder appears this way, with the Time Capsule selected:
As you can see, the "Data" drive isn't displayed (it's not on the TIme Machine mounted drive either). The external drive "LAN Storage" isn't availailable anywhere either.
I've tried unplugging and restarting my Time Capsule and the External Drive with no luck.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Welcome to Mavericks.. and its new concept of network drives not just being hard to find like in Mountain Lion but totally invisible.
Apple changed over Mavericks to using SMB2 by default.. broken and flawed SMB2.
Change over to AFP by manually mounting the TC drives.
I strongly recommend the first thing you do is change the TC names to SMB standard.. that just helps.
Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
So rather than the very Generic THE Airport Time Capsule.. you make it even more Generic with TC1 (each subsequent TC increment the number. )
LAN Storage is not a good name either for USB drive.. especially now that it is WAN Storage.. WStore for example.. but whatever makes sense to you.
The name itself doesn't matter. .following the rules, short no spaces and pure alphanumeric does. Everything, conforms.
Now in Finder.. Go, Connect to Server.
AFP://TC1 or AFP://10.0.1.1 (you can use either the name (now that it is proper network name) or the IP address .. replace with your actual name or IP).
The computer will find the resources and then ask you for a password.. this is required, even if default,, which is public.. so type in your password or public if you did not change it.
Store the password in your keychain.
The TC should now mount and all the resources on it be made available or visible.

Where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.

where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.
if there is no driver maybe you can tell me the closest instrument that comes to this one from the list at,
http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver+%2BIDNetManufacturer%3A%22Hewlett-Packard%22&qt=peak+power+analyzer&layout=IDNet
so i could modify and use the driver

Hello,
It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
Hope this helps.

Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz power supply...

I'm pretty sure that the power supply in my Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz is going. Initially, I was only getting the familiar bong for startup, but nothing else. I then noted that the fan on the GForce Ti card wasn't spinning, nor the fan on the optical drive. I removed the Ti card, my second hard drive, and two RAM chips; the computer started, then shut down. I pushed the power button, it finally started. The fan on the optical drive is still not spinning (still plugged in though.)
I did buy a new motherboard battery, put it in, and followed the process of resetting the CUDA/PMU. I did that before doing the above so I know the battery is fine.
That's why I'm almost sure it's the power supply.
So, my question is, where and how do I go about purchasing a new power supply for this computer? Any help and/or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Some of the symptoms might desribe a logic boarrd, cpu or Power Supply issue. This article might assist:
http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.asp?p=420908&seqNum=4&rl=1
If you are extermly confident with a multi meter you might try the following procedure. However, be sure to use appropriate ESD procedures as "static" can kill your machine and be sure to take care as electircal power can kill you.
PS verfication:
1. Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver/QuickSilver 2002) (see Figure 3): Connect the black lead of the volt meter to pin 11 of the 22pin power supply connector. Connect the red lead of the volt meter to pin 22 of the power supply connector. The volt meter should measure approximately +25V. If you do not get a reading of +25V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step. If you do measure +25V on pin 22, the power supply is likely OK. Go to the next step for further verification.
Start up the computer by pressing the power button on the front of the computer. Note: Verify that the power cable is plugged into connector J30. If the computer starts up normally, the power supply is OK. If the computer does not start up, go to the next step.
2. Check to see if the power supply fan is spinning. If it is not, go to the next step.
3. Connect the black lead of the volt meter to pin 16 of the power supply connector for AGP and PCI models or pin 11 for Gigabit Ethernet/Digital Audio/QuickSilver/QuickSilver 2002 models. Connect the red lead of the volt meter to pin 1 of the power supply connector. The volt meter should measure approximately +3.3V.
If you do not get a reading of +3.3V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step.
4. Connect the black lead of the volt meter to pin 16 of the power supply connector for AGP and PCI models or pin 11 for Gigabit Ethernet/DIgital Audio/QuickSilver/QuickSilver 2002 models. Connect the red lead of the volt meter to pin 4 of the power supply connector. The volt meter should measure approximately +5V. If you do not get a reading of +5V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step.
5. Measure the voltage of pin 10 on the power supply connector. The voltage should measure approximately +12V. If you do not get a reading of +12V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step.
6.The testing is complete. You have just verified that the power supply is not the cause of the “No apparent power” symptom.

G5 Powermac Dual Core Power Supply Issue

My G5 Dual Core 2.3 GHz was working fine till this morning when at about 6:00 AM the power supply started making a bunch of noise. Luckily I was at home not at work so I pulled the plug...waited a while, powered on again, saw the apple logo and decided to turn it off till I get it fixed.
This is the third G5 I have with power supply issues. The first one was a dual processor that hums when doing a lot of networking or when attaching USB flash drives...so apparently there was a extension program on that one. I sold that and switched to the dual core machine, then both of the dual cores had power supply issues. One got replaced under Apple Care. The 3rd one just had the issue happen.
Anybody having bad luck with these? My old G4 DP 1.42 has been running almost flawlessly since it came out (only replaced the main fan for a more powerful and quieter unit).
Have the power supplies for the Dual Core G5 machines been redesigned or should I expect my new one to fail again?

Hi Jack,
I'm sorry. You did note that with your first G5 you knew of the extension program. Too early in the day for me I guess. Personally I haven't sensed from the G5 discussions that Power Supplies have been a major continuing issue, but there certainly have been a lot reported. Usually it's Logic Boards that keep getting fried for one reason or another. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be the most expensive thing to replace, especially if you buy a used one. Maybe someone will chime in who is more observant then I am this morning.
For what it's worth I still have the first Mac I ever bought which is a PM8500. It still runs fine whenever I pull it out from it's dusty storage. By contrast this is my third G5.
Edit: Up early and fasting for a test... I just caught your reference to 3 years. That time frame I have seen a lot here, usually 3 years plus a few months, just out of Applecare. Apparently for G5s thats like 90 in Mac years.

Looking for a new quiet power supply, what do you recommend?

the current power supply rip was an antec 480 truepower. It was ok but I'm looking for an ultra quiet supply, hope to here your recommendations. TIA.

Jason, I think he would have some trouble getting them shipped to Australia from one of those stores. Beside that it would be less from newegg, look at the additional 20% off promo and free shipping. For me it's 3 days from order to delivery from ZZf and newegg.
Yes, one of the Corsairs but not HX but as mentioned TX or VX, also PC P&C 610. Ignore watts, go by +12V amps and as FP mentioned consider future need for more power when choosing. Nowdays the VX450W (+12V~33A) would be considered minimum to get and also would be considered weak for many current systems.

Pinout for Powerbook Titanium yoyo power supply

I have a Tibook G4 with the old original circular yoyo power supply, but I presume the barrel connector that plugs into the back of the Tibook is the same for all Powerbooks. Is the silver colored barrel shield the ground? Is the gold tip the +24 Volts? I cannot get any of my three PSs to register on my voltmeter above the noise level using these two connection points. The gold center pin actually has 3 isolated portions, like a stereo audio jack. Are these used at all, or is just the tip used? It just seems odd that all three of my PSs could be dead.

Hi, Jeff. I can't help you with the pinouts or the voltages you should be reading between different contacts, except to say that on my own perfectly functional adapter, I don't get a 24V reading from any combination that I can get the probes to. It is true that the ringlight on my adapter plug lights up green when I test for voltage between the outer shield and the innermost pin contact, but the voltage is very low. Of course getting a meter probe to the innermost ring on the center pin without also contacting the outer cylindrical shield is a pretty good trick, and I haven't been able to test any combination of the three contacts on the center pin — it's just too clumsy. But my hunch is that unless all four contacts are in touch with the right parts of the DC-In port in the Powerbook, whatever is supposed to happen then doesn't happen and can't be detected. My suspicion is that you just can't do any meaningful testing with a meter when the adapter isn't connected to the PB.
The Apple tech service manual for the Tibooks says nothing at all about testing AC adapters, probably because if they work they work, and if they don't you throw them away. There's no repairing them — it's just not worth the time. When a perfectly good third-party adapter costs $50, nobody's going to pay a technician $100/hour to fix one. Therefore there are no instructions or documentation telling how to go about it.

Graphical application for an APC uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

Hi,
I have a APC UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and I'm looking for an application that shows me more than just some percentages of the capacity of the battery. I know that and some settings can be done by the energy saving settings.
But the Parachute application for windows, shows you the present load of the UPS so you can see if it is possible to power additional devices with it.
It also shows you some more in detail information.
So I was thinking of a tool like "APC Tracker" from Equinux.com, but 112$ is more than I paid for the UPS! So that is a no go. And now I was wondering if some of you might know an alternative?
I know that there is a packet called NUT for MacPorts and also APCUSPd. But from what I've read. Both will interfere with Apples Energy Saving settings.

Agreed, but I don't see how to do that in conjunction with the automatic shutdown capability of the UPS. I doubt the current OS is capable of responding to a usb signal by waking up then shutting down. It seems unlikely that apple or the UPS vendors would anticipate that someone would want this feature.
On the contrary, that's exactly what people want, and Apple and at least some of the vendors do just that.
The U.P.S. doesn't actually do the shutdown, of course, OSX does, and you're talking about two different things anyway.
A good U.P.S. sends more than one signal. It sends frequent updates of the power level of the batteries, and notifies OSX when it's on battery power.
OSX wakes a sleeping Mac up immediately when the utility power fails, so it can send a message.
The automatic shut down is scheduled, via System Preferences, by your choice of time on battery power, estimated time left on the battery, and/or remaining battery power level (percent).
APC's +Power Chute+ software, which I used with Panther, worked similarly, and I'd expect other decent 3rd-party U.P.S. software to have similar capabilities.

Can anyone provide me with an lm317T for use in a power supply project

I'm trying to simulate a power supply for a college project and need an lm317T. Can anyone provide this in order to add it to my circuit. I'm not worried about adding it to my database.

Hi Steve,
I googled "LM317T SPICE model" and found this website, someone posted the model for this part
http://www.electro-tech-online.com/general-electronics-chat/18270-lm317-spice-model.html
Now that you have the model, you can create you own component in Multisim. If you don't know how, please refer to this page:

Advice on hard drives for a dual 2.5 G5. External/Internal, USB/Firewire ?

Hey guys-
I'm using my G5 as my main computer in a home based recording studio and I'm running out of drive space. I currently have the 2 internal drives: MAIN 160 GB (13GB available) & 300 GB (9 GB available) and one USB external 500 GB with 12GB
available. I know I'm dangerously low on all of them so my question is: what would be the best way to add more space? I'm really concerned on how fast my programs can access the data since I run a lot of instruments and audio samples.
Should I:
Buy one large internal drive (1.5TB) and use it as my main drive with the others as back-ups? If so which ones do you recommend?
Buy an external drive (1.5tb) in either Firewire or USB? I know Firewire is faster but does it matter when it comes to most applications?
Also, if I go with one large HD either way, would I lose any advantages over say several smaller ones?
Finally, how is the best way to replace your main drive with a larger one without having to re-install everything all over again?
Thanks SO much for the help:)

Hi-
The best thing that you could do for performance AND space, would be to replace both internal hard drives.
Install a WD6400AAKS 640GB as boot drive, and have one of the fastest, cool and quiet, 7200 RPM all around performing drives to run system and apps.
Install a WD1001FALS 1TB Black as the second data/scratch drive for loads of space, high performance and reliability.
Then, to back it all up, add at least another 1TB firewire drive.
USB isn't as reliable of an interface as firewire, nor is it as fast (overall).
Stick with firewire.
To keep from reinstalling everything, take out the 300GB drive, and install the 640GB (or whatever new boot) drive.
Use Disk Utility to format the new hard drive.
After formatting, use SuperDuper! to clone the 160GB drive to the new drive.
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
Once the cloning is complete, open System Preferences/Startup Disk, select the new drive as startup drive, and reboot.
After checking the clone for proper operation (all applications open, Mail works, etc.) remove the 160GB drive and install the new drive in it's slot.
Install the 1TB drive (or whatever) in slot 2, format it, and you are all done.

Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 (& other 1TB drives) for my Early 2005 Power Mac G5

Hello there:
Like everyone and there grandmother I want a terrabyte drive! But I'm a little concerned.
The Power Mac G5 only supports the first SATA spec (1.5 Gb/s) and all the of the new drives being sold these days are of the SATA II spec (3.0 Gb/s) and use NCQ or TCQ technologies.
I’m really trying to avoid having to install a host bus adapter of any sort to use my new drive(s).
I would like to here from G5 mac users that have installed these drives or other terrabyte drives:
Did you have performance problems, did you have to do “special stuff” to get them to work???
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 1TB (HDS721010KLA330) - from what I’ve read this drive does not auto-negotiate to the slower SATA I spec and you have to do something to the firmware in Windows- scarry!
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB (ST31000340AS)- users of other seagate products have reported a stiff performance penalty when installed in Power Mac G5
And while I’m at I like to here about experiences with the Samsung HD103UJ- I hear lots DOA drives but when these do work their faster that Raptors and that’s super fast!!!
Hopefully my trepidation is unfounded. I just don’t want computer drama... that’s for Windows users ;op
Thanks,
Mike Diaz

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
A good place to check on drives, is the Drive Compatibility Data base at Xlr8yourmac.
The Hitachi is reported to be a great drive in the G5, and I have heard/read nothing of this so called "do something to the firmware in Windows" stuff. Mike, the main man at Xlr8 speaks very highly of the Hitachi in his G5.
Another drive that gets great reviews is the Western Digital SE16, and RE2 series. The Green Power also shows to be an excellent drive....
Here's how the "big boys" stack up in a MacPro, tests run by Barefeats, an excellent source on Mac performance related topics. This article tests various drives in the G5.
This article compares the Hitachi, Samsung and WD GP drives.

Samsung SATAII drive for G5 dual 1.8 ?

Hi there,
I have read that there are some compatibility issues with some SATA II drives and the early or mid production G5's, and I am now about to order a Samsung SP T166 - 500 GB SATA II (which has a jumper to restrict it to 150 Mbps instead of full 300) to be installed as second drive in a G5 dual 1.8GHz. Is there any experience that would tell me not to go that route?
Cheers
G4 Dual 500 - 2GB RAM - Cinema 22 - OS9.2.2 Mac OS X (10.4.8) G5 dual 1.8

Phil, I believe that drive will work. To be safe check XLR8's drive compatibility database here

Any suggestions for an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)?

We need a power backup and decided to go with a Voltage Independent (also called "Line-Interactive", "Single-Conversion", "Delta-Conversion") device.
We have 2 servers and quite a few peripheral equipment (router, gateway, modem etc).
Question: Is there anyone with experiences what to buy/use (vendor, capacity etc)?

readers saying that the 'newer' models were not built as well, noisey fans, and APC filtering for coax + phone + rj45 caused interference. The SMART CyperPower does not interfere (losng that and having sporatic cable for a month).
I like cyberpower - some for personal reasons.
the new APC SMART 1000VA is nice. The APC XS does not filter properly and lacks features of the RS series (I have both).
So I still have some APC models, but before I was faced with a failure I wanted to try a different brand and got burned by Belkin's junk.
Come a storm, I use the APCs for the house and they have those auxillary 24A power packs you can plug in which will power a couple lamps for 8 hrs plus, or power Mac Pro for an add'l hour.
