Where is front panel datasocket connection

After successfully using front panel data socket connections in the past I have now discovered that the menu item is gone.  Anybody have any idea as to why? 
LabVIEW 8.0.1
WinXP/SP2
Why can't I paste a screen shot?
LabVIEW 8.0.1; WinDoze XP
aut viam inveniam aut faciam

The only data socket control that I see is the Datasocket Refnum (reference control), which is located in the refnum palette.
I think all other functions are found in the block diagram palette.

  • Front Panel DataSocket takes long time to connect

    Hi,
    I have build a very simple DataSocket application.(Front panel DS only)
    I transferring data between two applications running on 2 PC's connected via a wireless network
    What hapens to be is when the router is connected to internet (via ADSL modem) the connection between clieant and server is established imidiatly.
    However when Modem is disconnected it takes about 1 minute to establish connection.
    At both cases I am using the internal IP of the server PC (the PC datasocket server is running on)
    1. I used 2 different  wirless routers and result is the same
    2. I used static IP addres on both client and server PC's
    3. DSTP url I use is "dstp://l192.1.128.106/number" (not computer name but rather ip number)  
    4. datasocket server is running on one commputer. The other (client) is running under Runtime (its an "exe" file)
    5.When I look at data socket server I see that "process connected" is updated immediately. BUT the front panel controls are waiting for about a minute till datasocked LED is turns green. During this time the datasocket server looks very busy.  
    I have to emphasis again when the router is connected to internet connection is established immediately.  
    My gut feeling tels me it has to do with DNS. I don't usderstand why.
    Is is related to the server PC DNS?
    The client PC DNS?
    The router DNS?
    Any help would be extremely appreciated! 

    Thanks again Kyle, I have followed up some of you suggestions. With some trial and error (and a fiew bucks...) the problem was solved. The way I solved it: 1. I bought a new router (Edimax BR-6424 ~$40)2. I have configured the PC the Datasocket server was running on, as with dynamic IP and obtain DNS automayicaly. The router was not connected to Modem and everything is working fine. (if you look at atached VI - "time to establish connection was  about 2S. This is the VI I am running on the client PC) Alternate 2. is configure static IP BUT LEAVE DNS VALUES EMPTY. that works fine too. (2S for connection) When I used static IP with some values in DNS the time to establish conection was ~16S. Aperrantly my problem was not related to modem at all.I have made my test with one bad (or misconfigured) router (level one WBR-3406TX).The test I made with the other router (old Edimax I borowed from a friend) were with bad DNS configuration.So I got wrong impression that my problem was related to absence of modem. I am going to use the new router. But just for curiosity. Do you have any Idea what could get wrong with the old router (level one). The DNS was configured correctly. (obtain DNS automaticaly) but still when I ran the attached VI it took 16-20 S to establish connection.??? Best regards, Hazkel

  • Front panel USB connection to MB 990fxagd80v2

    Hi Gents, new member here with some issues on me last build. I assemble my families computers , about one every 5 years. Other than that I am not hot in computers. So when I get into a build I have some homework and studying to do, and some glitches. At this moment my newest machine is up and running Win 7 with a few loss ends. My case is an USB 2.0 era with 2 ports in the front bottom behind a little door. Each USB cable has 3 wires ending in a flat 3 pin female plug. The motherboard has 2 USB male ports, 9 pins each, one coded blue the other red each one has an alignment notch. This MB came with a sack of M-connectors to be an easy transition between the front panel plugs and the Motherboard, so, 2 of the M-connectors are red and blue, and have alignment lugs that appear to be made for the USB ports on the MB. The problem is they do not fit. While I am gentle and careful I don't believe they fit. I have other front panel issues I'll save for another time. My Gazelle case seems to use different nomenclature than the motherboard. But the USBs are the issue now, anyone have some light on this subject? I would also like to convert one of the front USBs to 3.0.

    "Each USB cable has 3 wires ending in a flat 3 pin female plug."
     That can't be right as USB are 4 wire, red, white, green, black. Connectors are 5 or 10 pin plugs with no connection on the 5th pin not used on both types & 9 being the key on the 10 pin plug.
    "I'm not sure is I have a variation from the standard MB or what..."
     Any connectors, MB headers are standard throughout the industry therefore they will be the same from all manufacturers.
    "or is the connection does not use m-connectors"
     You should not need m-connector for USB anyway. m-connector was introduced mainly for front panel connections that had individual wires for each LED, switches and such. The set in the pic I show is from old P35 MB.
     Can you post a photo(s) of the case connectors you have?
     See here how to add photo's: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=90789.0
     Personally I use Photobucket to host my pics.
     M-connectors for USB should be clearly marked as such if the MB even came with any for USB. Over the years they have eliminated some and I think the ones for USB were eliminated.

    Since the manual states these conections are compliant with the Intel front Panel and seems to mention HD audio, am I wasting my time? Obviously I'd like the rear speakers to be disabled when I connect the headphones at the front.
    Any clues?

    Have you checked in realtek's audio manager and see if you could switch between front and rear individually?
    Yes I did have a dig around with this because it senses when additional speakers etc are connect at the back. I cannot get the audio manager to acknowledge there is a front connect (with or without anything connected) 

  • Fronta panel audio connections on KM4M

    I got a pc case, and the cables for the front panel audio are: left  , right , mic, and ground. The front panel works fine, but the rear ports dont.
    What should i do to make it work?
    Maybe conect left in with left out and right in with right out?

    There must be a return from fron panel audio for rear ports to work
    What i did was to solder a piece of solid wire on the jumper, and simply plug in the front panel audio left and right in that wire and it works FINE

  • Extending Mic & Headphone connection to Front Panel Ja

    I have a SB Li've 5. (SB000) and I need to extend the "Mic In" Jack and "Line Out" Jack (for Headphones) connectors to the front panel jacks. Are the connector pins included in the "Audio Extension" (AUD_EXT) connector? If so, which are the pins? If not, how can this be done. I have seen the information about the connector on:http://img463.imageshack.us/my.php?image=li'vepins0jh.gif?However,?I still do not know how to make the connections. All help appreciated. Thanks,?Mike.

    I do not know what the pinouts are, but the Front panel IO connect into the lower right corner of your motherboard. You also have an F_audio1 in the lower  left. You should be able to follow these wires. Also, I would install the card, leaving the wires connected to the mobo and not mess them first to see if you still have full functionality. You might not need to mess with them.

  • LEDs on front panel

    Employed my Vista Pavilion for several years without incident until last night when I noticed the top "on/off" button which usually glows a light blue was unlit.   I originally assumed a power glitch, so I just restarted the machine to note the following:
        Fans come on and the power supply seems OK, but the system did not boot.   The screen was just black with no characters or image/background.  In fact, the screen's power saving mode soon engaged indicating the video card was not sending a signal.  Never get to the BIOS screens.
         Now here is what I think may be significant:  the green LED and blue LED in the front console were on continuously.
    Sometimes, hardware manufacturers provide diagnostic information by way of the lights (e.g., washing machines).   In other words, turning on LEDs can provide state information.   Is this true with HP hardware?
    Some more clues which tell you what is not the problem.  I happened to have a new power supply handy, so I traded it out with the same results.   In normal operation, the green LED indicates disk activity, so I just removed the disk entirely to see if the green light would go out.   Nope, still on steady.   The blue LED typically implies the WiFi operation but I rather doubt at this pre-boot state the WiFi would be working.
    I traced the power button line (two grey wires) to a half-sized board in the rear.  No breaks in the wire or bad connections.
    Any ideas?

    Don't understand this reference to a half-height board.
    The Front Panel Header (9-pin, 2x5) on the motherboard is where those front panel LEDs and buttons are terminated.
    EXAMINE Pictorial in the Internet link to motherboard (above).
    HOWEVER, some HP Desktop models have a front LED to show the user of LAN or Wi-Fi connections.
    That wire would connect to the network card or motherboard via a different connector.
    Some Media PCs of this era (2008) had Infared connections (option) for remote control of TV tuner option card.
    LEDs do not last forever (have a long, but finite life) and can fail due to DC over-voltage or surge conditions (environmental, component failure).
    In addition, this Desktop PC is now 7 years old .... a long-life for any desktop.
    IF the motherboard has failed (component failure, such as capacitors), then replacement may be best advice.

  • How can I hide the main front panel when I run from the executable?

    Hopefully this is an easy question. I have an application where the front panel is not the main GUI and I would like to hide it when the program runs, but only when it runs from the executable. How can I do this?

    NIquist wrote:
    Yeah, don't do that. Executables built in LV require at least one front panel to be open. If it isn't, the run-time engine automatically closes the executable. I haven't checked recently, but I assume this is still the case.
    Instead, you can set the FP state to minimized (as suggested earlier) or (better) to hidden.
    P.S. one side point - the property and invoke nodes have a shortcut - if you use the Application or VI classes and don't connect a reference, they default to the current app or VI. That means you don't have to open the reference.

  • Bind a front panel control to an item

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with selecting DataSocket in "Data Binding Selection" when I want to bind a front panel control to an item in another server such as an OPC Server. I want to know whether we connect to that item via OPC Server or DataSocket Server after specifying an OPC URL. The LED_DataSocket near the front panel control planned to bind to an OPC Server's causing this doubtfulness for me.
    And I want to know in a big application what the difference between these two is:
    Connecting a front panel control to an OPC Item selecting:
    NI_PSP\network Items\then selecting the item from an OPC client instance currently created or,
    DataSocket\browse\ finding the item we want through Servers listed.
    Please advice.

    I'm working on a big HMI application with more than 200 I/Os. if I want to read/write these data items from an OPC server, do you mean it's better to use shared variables bound to OPC data items, then read/write directly the shared variable from a front panel object, connecting a shared variable node to it?
    I want to know if I bind my all front panel objects to shared variables or OPC items via NI-PSP or Datasocket, for this number of I/Os, it works. And what are the differences between these two technologies?
    I 'm for the best way of gathering data from an OPC Server.

  • MSI P965 Platinum - Front Panel Audio u/s

    Finally after managing to get XP Pro SP1 CD to install, I have a stable system, and thanks to those whom freely gave advice.
    But we hit the next issue with this motherboard, the front panel audio.
    Firstly the Realtek detection software doesn't detect anything plugged into the front panel.
    Connected the cables as follows from my Coolermaster Stacker case;
    mobo                = case wires/colour
    pin1 aud-mic      = mic-in - yellow
    pin2 aug-gnd      = gnd - black
    pin3 aud-mc-bas = mic-pwr - red
    pin4 aud-vcc      = empty
    pin5 aud-fpout-R = R out - green
    pin6 aud-ret-R    = R ret - green
    pin7 hp-on          = empty
    pin8 key
    pin9 aud-fpout-L = L out - white
    pin0 aud-ret-L    = L ret - white
    The above pin out gives nothing at all, but audio from rear ports on the computer motherboard is fine.
    I also tried the following,
    where the microphone wires were left disconnected, therefore just the speakers plugged into the front panel audio header
    mobo                = case wires/colour
    pin1 aud-mic      =
    pin2 aug-gnd      = gnd - black
    pin3 aud-mc-bas =
    pin4 aud-vcc      = empty
    pin5 aud-fpout-R = R out - green
    pin6 aud-ret-R    = R ret - green
    pin7 hp-on          = empty
    pin8 key
    pin9 aud-fpout-L = L out - white
    pin0 aud-ret-L    = L ret - white
    The above still gave me no audio out from the front panel.
    Intrestingly if I leave the front panel audio header blank, I still get rear audio fine, where I would have expected to have put jumpers across the L and R outputs as is the norm.
    I have removed the front panel from the computer to ensure that the wires terminate OK, and have not been pulled out/off.
    Have I plugged in the wires correctly?
    Is there some hidden setting that I have missed, I admit that I do not like the Realtek audio software?
    I cannot find any way to boost the microphone input since Realtek audio software has been installed.
    One day case/mobo manufactures will use a standard for the front panel headers and front panel audio headers, and we will have a simple single plug to insert, rather than a group of single fiddly connectors that have to be attached to a header that was at the last minute attached to the motherboard as far away from the front of the case, and in the darkest most fiddle corner.
    Oh well......
    Cheers

    AaronYuri - you're are so right there my friend.  I just pity Joe User whom might attempt such a move themselves.
    In the end my entire issue was software related, and that has to be blamed on Realteks software, far too many options approached from far too many different angles. Audio is really simple, plug your cables in, and it should just work, certainly in the simple case of 2-1 speakers and a microphone. Why exactly it took a couple of hours to figure out how to get the front panel microphone to be seen in the first place, let alone any signal, is beyond me.
    So my cables were all connected correctly as per the MSI manual, confirmed by my Abit manual and other post here and on other forums.
    In the Realtek MSI audio software, on the I/O Audio tab, connector settings, I had to select 'disable front panel jack detection' and 'mute rear panel output when front headphones plugged in'. The other option here 'enable auto pop up...' is unchecked.
    After this the Realtek software mentioned something about a new profile had been set up?
    I then went to Windows Control Panel, Sounds and Audio devices, and selected the voice tab, on this page I selected 'mic IN at front panel [pink]' from the drop down list for Voice Recording'. Proceeded to 'test hardware' and the microphone is now working. This option to select the input in the drop down list was not available before.
    All a bit of POKE and HOPE.
    But we seem to be there.

  • Front panel sound ports

    Feeling quite pleased with myself because my first build is just about finished ( have a mass of cables to tidy up and tie back) However I do have one minor problem, I can’t get any sound out of the front panel (top panel in this case) headphone socket.
    The front panel connector JAUD1 has nine  pins and pin 7 is for future use according to the motherboard manual and pin4 is filtered 5V which I don’t have a plug for.
    I have one lead with 3 connectors for mic ,  ground and mic power which go to pins 1,2 and 3.  Another lead has right in & right out and left in &left out and ground. These go to pins 6,7,9&10. There is only one pin marked ground and this is already in use. So I haven’t been able to connect this ground. Is this what is stopping it working.
    So although it is only a minor problem, it would be nice to have the headphone socket working. Anyone any thoughts?

    I really can't comment on the wiring exactly without seeing the schematics for the pins out from the motherboard.  However, you apparently have a sound card installed so I am wondering what leads you are plugging your front case jacks into?  I personally never have two sound capabilities activated in my systems.  Since all MBs now come with integrated sound and I always use a sound card, I disable the onboard sound.  I know if the onboard is enabled most boards have pins you can connect to the case sound jacks.  When that is done you usually lose the sound out from the back panels jacks.  So where do you have your front panel leads connected to?  I have seen a couple of cases that have a formal mini-plug that you can plug into the card or the MB to bring the sound to the front of the case.  Just some things to think about, probably didn't exactly answer your question.

  • Trouble with front panel adapto

    Hi, I have a Sound Blaster Audigy (SB0090) and my front panel were connected to the motherboard because of the on-board sound card. I disconnected it from the mobo and reconnected it right in the sound card (it's the male connector from this picture: http://www.frontx.com/cpx57p2.gif). Ok, now that it's plugged in, my sound works perfect except that when I connect my headphones in the front panel, the sound keeps going to the speakers and not the headphones.
    I'd like some help with this issue. Thanks.

    KingAlex,
    There has been a lot of discussion about connecting SoundBlaster cards to the front case. A search of the forums for e.g., "front panel headphones" will bring up a long list of messages. This thread will get you started. I don't recommend any of the hacks because if done improperly, they might damage your card. The simplest and safest method is to plug into the rear LineOut/Headphone jack and route this inside the case to the front panel through an unused open card slot. Use a stereo Y-splitter if you also want to connect speakers.
