Self-test failed - PCI6034E board

$

0

Hi,

 

I am trying to get data acquisition going on an old Dell 8200 computer.


I am running a 2013 version of NI MAX on Win XP SP3, with a PCI6034E board. The installed drivers are recent.
I get the following errors:

Self-Test gives: "The self-test failed -200020"

Self-Calibrate gives: "The device could not be calibrated -200251. No DMA channels or USB Bulk Endpoints are available..."

Test Resources button under Device Configuration gives: "The device is not responding to the selected base address"

Test Panel starts to plot a line under "Amplitude vs. Samples Chart", but then gives the error: -200019. "Possible Reason(s):
ADC conversion attempted before the prior conversion was complete."

Right now it's configured like this:

Memory Range              0xFE2FB000 - 0xFE2FBFFF
Memory Range              0xFE2F2000 - 0xFE2F2FFF
Interrupt Request           17
Direct Memory Access   0


Under Settings, it shows:

Name                      Dev1
Vendor                    National Instruments
Model                      NI PCI-6034E
Serial Number          FFFFFFFF
PCI Bus                  2
PCI Device              8
Status                     Present

The Win XP Device Manager does not list any device conflicts, and the BIOS recognizes the board.

Thanks.


0xBFFF0015 occur when using PXI 8106 (RT) to communicate with Agilent 33522B via Ethernet

I'm trying to control an Angilent 33522B by PXI-8106 running RT system.

 

Firstly, it can be connected and controled properlly by normal computer.

Secondly, it canbe connected and validated by an address like this:

   visa://169.254.103.2/TCPIP0::169.254.103.7::5025::SOCKET

 

However, when using the driver provided by agilent d move it to RT sessions, then it doesn't work......


Then I try Visa test panal, Query *IDN?\n

the result will still give me the right response, but also an Error.

Read Operation Error

VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed.

 

Now, go back to the program using this instrument, run it. The computer will then seem to wait the 33522 to response.

 

Has anyone ever encountered this kind of problem and can helllllllp me?

Read data from Infrared Thermometer (USB interface)

$

Hi, 

 

I recently bought an IR thermometer http://www.thermoworks.com/products/ir/ir_pro_usb.html#Specifications

 

This thermometer comes with a USB port, software, and driver. I can do the measure, and log the data into computer, using their software.

 

But since I have to integrate this device into Labview to perform PID temperature control, with a heater. I have to read the data from this device (real time), into labview.

 

So, I contacted the company for Labview driver or programmers guide. But, no luck.

 

Did someone have similar situation before? I read some discussions. Some suggests USB can be seen as serial port. However, I am not quite familar how it works.

 

Please give me some hints.

 

Thanks so much!!!

Lakeshore 218 serial com1 read Error -1073807339

Im using labview 2012 to communicate with a lakeshore 218 temperature moinitor via COM1. 

 

I am able to use MAX to send *IDN?\n to receive the id LSCI,MODEL218S,22A037...,30,3 0.

 

When I try to run a simple VI (basic_serial_write_and_read[1].vi) using visa on COM1 to do the same thing it returns the time out error. 

 

Thus far I have tried using command *IDN?   *IDN?\n and *IDN?\r\n

 

*IDN? dosent work in max, *IDN?\n and *IDN?\r\n both work in Max, nothing works in Visa.

 

How can I get this to work using visa?

 

GPIB issue with solartron 1260 and 1287

Our old computer of Solartron 1260 and 1287 was down recently, I managed to transfer the GPIB card to a computer with Windows 2000 system, and installed NI-488.2 v2.7.3 driver. It seems the computer recognised the GPIB. However, when I tried to run the CorrWare, the computer automatically restarted without any warning. I wonder what's the solution for this problem? Any hint for additional installation I might missed?

ResourceManager is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level Issue

Hi

 

I have a question about importing Ni Libirary to my VS 2012 project. ( Using visual basic .NET, Windows 7 and VS 2012)

 

I currently test  FindReources(NI-VISA) example project to apply some of function to my project.

 

Sample project was working fine, it was returnning resource data corrent.

 

However, when I tried to apply Find Resource function to "My project"

 

it kept appearing error message such as "ResourceManager is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level"

 

What I did was ...

 

First, I added reference to my project 

 

error2.PNG

 

 

Second, I imported "Imports NationalInstruments.VisaNS" to my vb file

 

However, error keep appearing, so I can't use function.

error.PNG

 

 

And, When I re-start VS and check Object brower

there is NI-VISA reference and error is gone

error3.PNG

 

However, When I run the project, NI.VisaNS library just disappear ...

 

error4.PNG

 


I am not really sure what this happen because Sample project from NI is working without any trouble.

 

Is there any missing step to import and use NI library ?

 

Thanks

Virtual serial port: No bytes at serial port before visa read

Hi I'm want to use LabView for real-time data acquisition of my servo dc motors. I'm new to LabView, so I'm trying to do the same thing with virtual port. I'm writing some data (a sinusoidal wave) to the virtual port and then read and show it on graph. the writing part works just fine as it can be seen in hyper terminal. but it doesn't read anything. the number of bytes at port is zero. i tried to set the bytes count in visa read manually but it doesn't work. I have attached my code below. any comment is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

.NET Framework 4.5 Language support issue

Hello

 

I have a question about .NET Framework 4.5 language support issue.

 

I am currently using Windows 7, Visual Studio 2012 

 

I have a problem to use  ResourceManager in the NI VISA library , so I switched 4.0 to 4.5

 

However, after I made install package and install to another PC to run my project. 

 

I got this issue 

ERROR.PNG

 

Therefore, I was assuming that new PC doesn't have .NET Framework 4.5 or VISA driver is missing dll files.

 

 I upgrade.NET 4.0 to .NET 4.5 , and I also update the newest VISA Driver to run my project.

 

However, throwing error issue kept appearing , so i can't run my project.

 

Therefore, I decide to re-install driver. And, I found they there is support issue 

 

support.PNG

 

 

Current PC doesn't have visual studio or measrement studio.( I just wanted to make sure my project is running on other pc or not)

However, I installed the newest drivers and .NET 4.5.

 

I am not really sure the reasons that I can't use ResourceManager in the NI VISA library

 

Thanks

NI USB-232 problem!!!

Hi,

I got the NI USB-232 cable, as I'm trying to connect my minolta LS100 luminance meter to use in labview. Before I even worry about the VI i've created for it, I can't seem to see the NI USB-232 in the "VISA resource name" on the Basic Serial Write & Read vi. I've correctly installed the driver for the cable and the driver is up to date, also I can see the port in device manager (as COM4) and I can see the cable in MAX.

 

Any idea's why I can't see it?

HP 4192A NI GPIB-USB

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich benutze HP 4192a Impedance Analyzer, der über NI GPIB-USB-HS mit dem Computer verbunden ist. Ich verwende das Standartprogramm zum Messen.
Leider entsteht der Fehler "Error Code 25: Com port in Use", weil ein anderes Gerät bei der Messung ein gleiches SubVIProgramm "Open_Com.vi" und den gleichen Com-Port (Com1) benutzt, denn es ist direkt mit dem Com-Port (RS 232) verbunden.

Wenn ich die Com-PortNummer beim Hauptprogramm (SWEEP) für HP 4192a ändere, entsteht ein neuer Fehler "Error Code 65533: Com port in Use".

Wie kann ich gleichzeitig diese Geräte benutzen?

Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Is there any way I can get this driver to work with 2010?

I use a serial port to control the stepper motor, and I want to know the position of the motor at any time, so I can know when to stop captuingr image with a CCD.

There is only a serial port, if I accessing the serial port with two loops, the step motor will buzzing.

So, I want to know if there is method to solve the problem.
