X-fi soundcard and audigy front panel compatibil

Hi,
Does anywone know whether one can use an old audigy front panel from the platinum edition together with the new x-fi soundcard?
thx,
Jo

Yes it does. A Creative Moderator on this site said it's compatible.....
I also tried it and it worked flawlessly ! I have both X-FI and Audigy ZS Platinum Versions.

They should be compatible, but it wouldn't be officially supported. Should work the same as the other dri've though.

Front Panel compatibil

Hey there, for a while I've been using my Audigy 2 xs with wonderous results to my sound, I never bought it with the front panel, but later on I bought one seperately, I installed it and works perfect, all the front ports operate, but one problem remains, ever since I've had it I've been getting random BSOD, someone mentioned to me this could be an apparent snychronisation problem, with the card and the front panel , is there truth in this?

Do you have an Audigy 2 ZS? Which front panel did you buy?
If they aren't compatible, what will happen is that they just won't work together in that case. I haven't heard of a case before where connecting a dri'vebay caused blue screens. What does the BSOD you get say, does it mention a filename or anything in particular?

Audigy 2 card with Audigy Front Panel not worki

I've just bought a used audigy 2 card with an audigy front panel. I have installed everything and have sound from the card to my speakers.
The front panel has a blinking light on the optical out and when I plug headphones into the panel, I can hear static and control the volume of the static from the knob on the panel.
I can't hear anything else through the headphone jack and can't get any input signal using the line 2 input on the front panel.
Connections and drivers appear to be OK, am I missing something......
Thanks,Dave.

David,
If you go into the surround mixer or Windows mixer do you see a listing for the front panel inputs (line in2/mic in2, Aux 2, etc)? If so, are any of them muted? If you go to start/programs/Creative/SB Audigy/Audio HQ/Device Settings, do you show a headphone tab? If so what options are enabled in there?
Double check your ribbon cable connection and maybe even swap sides of the cable.

X-Fi Titanium PCI-E and the front panel from my case

The plug from my frontpanel fit onto the soundcard, but when I plug in a headset I can't hear anything. I can hear sound on the left side of my headset when I plug it in only half the way.
My Case: Tronje H-650B
What makes me thinking is the fact that I can hear sound, but only on the left side of my headset and only when the plug is only the half way in.
Hope you can help me to solve the problem.
Greetings.

Re: X-Fi Titanium PCI-E and the front panel from my casev I tried hooking up the HD Audio front connecto of my Lian-Li A05 to the X-Fi Titanium. However, the headset is not detected (neither in nor out). Looking at the pinout I noticed that my connector has the correct pins for the signal, but lacks the following wires (completely missing):
<div class="pCellBody">4 PRESENCE#? Acti've low signal that signals BIOS that an Intel HD Audio dongle is connected to the analog header. PRESENCE# = 0 when an Intel HD Audio dongle is connected<div class="pCellBody">7 SENSE_SEND? Jack detection sense line from the Intel HD Audio CODEC jack detection resistor network
I take it these are required to make the card detect the devices. Is there a way to circumvent this?
Also, the manual gives a confusing description:
"Intel HD Front Panel Audio standard only.
Not compatible with AC97 or Intel-compatible HD Front Panel Audio"
So it is compliant with Intel, but also not compatible with Intel? Or is there a difference between "Intel" and "Intel-compatible"? This makes no sense...

Open and Close Front Panel of SubVI

Hi all,
Running LabVIEW 2011 on Windows 7 x64. I am trying to get a subVI front panel to open from my main FP with the press of a button and then close with a button press in the subVI. Here is the piece from my main FP that calls the VI and opens the FP
Plots is defined in another loop and all of the loops are in a flat sequence. I did it this way because I want it to start with the first press and not stop my main loop from running. I have moved the item in the left loop around a lot so I'm not sure if I can run that in the same loop as the event or not. Either way opening the VI seems to work fine.
The problem shows up when trying to close the subVI for the SECOND time. The code is here:
As I said, the first time I open and close the VI everything works as I expect it should. I am then able to open it again but now the "blank button" doesn't function and I can't close the window or even open the block diagram to probe anything. I have been trying to figure this out for awhile, any insite would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Solved!

Using Shared Variables and Initialize Front Panel Binding (to PSP)

Hi,
I use LV DSC RT 8.2.1
I have a Vacuum System That includes signals from - Pumps failure, Valves status, Vacuum gauge, start Pump ...
Each signal is read by a FieldPoint.
All the relevant FieldPoint Channels are read by the Server (a computer in the Ethernet Network) and published to the network in the form of Shared Variables.
I have a client VI that is reading the Shared Variables published by the Server using Front Panel Binding.
Problem :
Some of the Bindings are in the mode 'Write &Read' and that causes some initialization problems.
For example - Valve #1 is Open, and then a User start running the Client VI, (the Valve #1 Status mode is 'Write & Read")
if in the VI the status of Valve #1 is closed (before running it) then the Valve status is changing to Closed.
I want the Client VI to first read the Physical status of the instrument and then to change the Value if the User changes it.
But that's seems to be a problem when using Front Panel Binding... (is it?)
I know I can Deploy a lvlib in the Client Side and Item Bind to the Shared Variables or Use DataSocket.
(Is DataSocket is a Reliable method when connecting to Shared Variables? What are the disadvantages when using DataSocket?)
What is recommended by those of you that are experienced or by NI ?
Sincerely Yours,
Amitai Abramson.

Amitai Abramson,
Hello and thanks for using the NI Forums.
I'm glad that you've read the Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable Tutorial on our website. Check out these other resources:
Network Variable Technical Overview
Troubleshooting Network-Published Shared Variables
Why Do I See Unexpected Value Change Events for Shared Variables Using LabVIEW DSC?
All You Need to Know About Shared Variables
Creating a Value Change Event for Shared Variables
Alternative Method for Using Shared Variables Between Systems in LabVIEW 8.x
What Is The Difference Between Using Shared Variables And DataSocket VIs To Access OPC Tags?
The issue that you are seeing by having "Write & Read" bound items on both the server and client side is essentially a race condition, you don't know which one is being read/written at what time. To resolve this issue I would take a look at some of the documents below.
Using a Local, Global, or Shared Variable in Parallel Loops Can Cause Race Conditions
Using Local and Global Variables Carefully
Tutorial: Local Variable, Global Variable, and Race Conditions
Locking a Shared Resource or Variable in LabVIEW Using Semaphores
You mentioned not wanting to have two sets of shared variables (one on each side), but this is a great method to resovle this issue, that, or you can develope some sort of hand shaking to prevent these race conditions.
I would suggest that in the future when using these forums you try to ask only one question per thread and make it more concise. It's hard to tackle multiple questions and such broad questions as "I want to know all the ways that I can connect to Shared Variables, and I want to know the advantages and disadvantages." I suggest this because we want you to get your questions answered and more concise questions will result in quicker and better answers.

Save and recall front panel configuration on FPGA

First of all, I am a first time user of Labview. The application is with an FPGA on a NI-9146 board.
My question is, I would like to save the front panel settings when I exit the application, then recall them the next time the application is started.
Seems to be a few ways to do this but are not supported with the FPGA module.
The application is fairly straight forward timing and the Windows host PC will provide a GUI to the operator.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but this task is more tedious then it needs to be.
The normal way of doing this on the FPGA is to plop down a FPGA read function for every control on the FPGA front panel, then write them to a file. Probably using an OpenG function, but really something like the binary write would work if you don't expect to add/remove items. Then when the application starts you need to reverse the process ploping down a FPGA write function for every control.
Now there is a slighly easier way that in theory works in a limited use case. The FPGA VI when running is just like a normal VI and you can get a reference to it. Here you could run the OpenG Write Panel to INI, and Read Panel from INI. These are two canned functions that save tons of time. Now the reason this might not work for most FPGA developers is because in the end, the goal is to not see the FPGA VI and instead only run the bit file and call into the FPGA using the hooks NI provides. It sounds like you are going to have the VI shown anyway so this method may actually work for you.
It does kinda suck and I think it would be nice if NI had a way to read and write all FPGA front panel controls at once for things like this.

LV 8.0.1 'NOT RESPONDING' and/or 'split' and unusable front panel while scrolling

Hello,
Is anyone aware of any display or front-panel glitches and bugs with LV 8.0.1? I have been using LV for years, but I have never seen the front panel tear itself (literally) in sections while I use the standard scoll bars at the edges of teh screen, then become completely unusable and go into [NOT RESPONDING] mode (???). In other words, my front panel displays have always moved as one continuous piece when scrolling. During these recent episodes, I would use the scroll bars and parts of my front panel displays would not move while the other section(s) tore away and scrolled as I commanded. When this happens, my entire PC would slow down, the CPU usage would rise and a approach 100%, and the VI was unusable. I have been writing a particular VI for several months, starting in LV 6.1, then LV 8.0 PRO-DEV, and recently upgraded to the LV 8.0.1 'maintenance' release. The problem that I describe here began to occur within two weeks of the maintenance upgrade. The problem seemed to be propagating to my back-up version after I opened each VI in unsuccessful attempts to find a VI that did not appear corrupted. It seemed as if any VI that I opened was going to be plagued by the bug that I described above and I thought that I was going to lose months of expensive work and my job!!!!. In a last ditch effort ( and a stroke of pure genius) I started saving some of these coorupt version as 'PREVIOUS' in LV7.1 format. This seems to have turned the situation around, for now, and saved my VIs from becoming corrupted and completely unusable.
Please let me know if anyone else has seen this. Also, please let me know how to avoid this, in the future. Does this indicate corruption of my LV 8.0.1 PRO-DEV environment or the VI files (or both)? Does NI have tools to correct these corruptions?
Thank you.

Thank you. I can only point to the following events/ techniques that were somewhat different from my previous experiences/ techniques:
1) Performed 'SAVE AS... ' new file name to these files over several months and several times a day using similar filenames with only one number character different between them
2) Logging long data files to the root C: drive and closing in on less < 5GB HDD remaining (could this be overwriting soem temp files that LV uses to manag graphics???)
3) After saving to LV 7.1 and re-opening with LV 8.0, I get a message that is new to me that explained something about wiring a Boolean constant to a case structure and how LV 7.1 or previous used this to keep a sub-vi in memory (???). Unfortunately for me, I did not capture the exact syntax of this message and I do not wish to intentionally repeat this graphical feature.
4) I copied a small block of code that contained a 'cloned' sub-vi from one block diagram to the a similar VI that , shortly afterward, exhibited the front-panle 'tearing' feature. This is something that I usually do not do, and, again, is one of the only new actions from anything that I have done in LV for the past several years.
5) After the message described in (3), above, the rescued LV 7.1 version had moved a handful of the most recently added indicators to a very remote location, about 30 seconds of edge-scrolling time, to the left of my front panel graphics. I perfromed a 'drag' operation by selecting these and bumping them to the right edge of the screen for about 30 seconds to get them back to the vicinity of my front-panel graphics. I have never experienced a VI that shifted inidcators so far off the edge of the screen.
These are the only ' unique' events that I can recall before the 'tear; effect.
Thank you.

TDMS Low level file functions and Saving Front Panel image

Am using TDMS low level file functions to save while also plotting data in my data acquisition programme. However, I also want to programmatically be saving the front panel image on every run of my data acquisition. I have coded all other aspects, except the behavior of functionality of saving the front panel image on every successive runs of the application. Unfortunately, I just have no idea on how to code this aspect on LabVIEW, and all effort to search for example codes on so far have not been successful.
I would appreciate any useful hints or steps from anyone for me to follow, in order to accomplish this behavior, and that is being able to programmatically save my front panel images while using TDMS low level file functions in my File IO system of my application.
Thanks in advance.

New report page and append front panel image

Hi,
I am trying to create a report using the Report Generation toolkit in LabView 6.1 which gets printed to PDFCreator.
I have 4 front panel images that I am appending to the report, and I would like each image to be on its own page. I am trying to accomplish this using the New Report Page vi, but it doesn't appear as though it is putting any page breaks in the report, and no errors are being generated. Do the page breaks that this vi puts in only apply to text? What is another method that can accomplish putting each image on its own page? Simply creating and printing 4 reports will not work, since I need the 4 images to be in the same PDF file, and PDFCreator does not support appending to PDF files instead of overwriting.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,
According to the Help for "New Report Page.vi" you can append either text or another file to the new page. Are you creating a standard report?

[General Question] redrawing and updating front panel objects

Hello,
I have several questions on this topic.
1) Is there a difference between redrawing and updating the front panel? (I assume so, but when a control is updated it will be redrawn at the same time, right?)
2) Is redrawing = rendering? In the case of decorations I think they need only to be rendered once (if fix/static) and stay in memory so that it is available for the gfx-card...
3) Are decorations redrawn or updated by LabView with every loop?
4) Is there a way to prevent LabView from redrawing and/or updating front panel objects (like controls, indicators and decorations)?
    When I put indicators into case-structures they are only updated when the case in which they are placed is executed but they will be obviously still redrawn.
    In another case when I disable visibility of those indicators they will not be redrawn anymore but be updated in the background.
    So when I put these indicators into a case-structure and combine it with toggling the visibility I could stop LabView from updating and redrawing them.
    Is this correct?
    Is there another way to prevent LabView from redrawing single objects? (at best leave them somehow visible)
Many thanks in advance!

redraw vs update
Yes threr is a difference. A control is redrawn when LV decides to update the GUI. Look into "syncronous" setting for controls that forces update when value changed. These tags and thesse tags may help out abit.
Q2
Not sure about equality but decoartion may need redrawn if there is overlap of chanable objects.
Q3
i have observed decorations that failed to update on occation so I suspect they are only update when required.
Q4
LV will update the value for a hidden control but will not update its image. Same if the object is ona hidden tab page.
No wawy that I know of to prevent an update of a single object with out going to extremes. The Front pnale property "DeferFPupdate" will inhibit FP updates while true and allow then when set false. I use this when doing a lot fast GUI updates so allow the changes to accumulate and be apllied only once.

LabVIEW Real-Time and Remote Front Panel MemoryManager.cpp line 437 error

Hi all,
I'm using a smartcamera (NI 1742) with LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6.
When I look at the Front Panel with the web browser and I close the browser or I Stop the executable, I always get this error: MemoryManager.cpp line 437. I've checked if someone else had this error, but I guess I'm the only person who got this error. I saw someone who had the MemoryManager.cpp line 406, but mine isn't on this line.
The application works well, but when I got the error, I need to reboot the smartcam to get it works. In my application, I use the Modbus library and I read/write binary file in the hard disk of the smartcam....
Anyone knows the solution?
Thank you very much
Stephanie

Hi again,
Still didn't find the problem on my side. Here's a picture of my code. If I put the code surrended in red at place (1), I don't get the error, but if I put the code at place (2), I get the error. Why oh why....?
I get the error when I close the browser or click Back button of the browser or Stop the application with the red dot or stop the application with the Quit button on my front panel.
This morning I found a post on this forum about getting an error using Property node and Remote panel (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=252705). I did what they suggest: wire the property output to an indicator and it works (disable "Enable automatic error handling dialod" didn't work... I don't know why)... until I put extra code in my VI.
I really need help please!
Thank you
Stephanie

Open and close front panel

Hi,
I wish to have a VI that works as a main menu from which you start new
VI's depending on your choice. When the new VI start I want the main
menu to hide it's front panel temporarily until it the second VI
returns.
Anyone has a solution to this?

If you are using LabVIEW 5.1, you can use the VI server attributes to hide
the VI by moving it off of the desktop. I will send you a sample in private
mail.
The attribute (property) you need to use is Front Panel Window -> Window
Bounds.
Set it to something that is larger than your window size, like 2000, 2000,
2200, 2200.
I hope that this helps,
