how to install usb-9162 for diadem

[hass]

Hi all,

I want to install a Hi-Speed USB Carrier "NI USB-9162" with a NI 9215A for Diadem.

I did this:

Install the software from CD (driver and max...)

Plug in the hardware in USB (Hardware found)

Reinstall / Update my Diadem 9.1 to 9.1 sp2c

Configure the hardware in "Measurement & Automation" v4.0.0.3010

I see my device in devices.

I created a voltage-task with 4 channels, continous, 1kHz

I started Diadem - DAC and thought, that I could use the icon for NI-DAQ Input, but a doubleclick shows an error.

see Attachment

I think, I forgot anything - perhaps a dll...!?
I couldn't find any help for this hardware for using in diadem on CD.

Hello Andreas,

please install (or re-install) the traditional NI-DAQ driver, the error message should go away then.

Regards,

Johannes

Thx Johannes but:

I don't know how to do that!

1. I found in "nidaq_readme_traditional.html" the following:
"Step 1: ... 2. Expand Devices and Interfaces then Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) Devices."
I can't find anything like this (see Attachment: max0.gif)

2. I found in "readme.htm" the following:
"Devices Supported Only in NI-DAQmx:
NI USB-9215A 100 kS/s, 16-bit, 4-channel isolated SMIO AI device" (my hardware).
So what I have to do? mx or traditional? Am I right, that I configure that in MAx?

3. I tried both of the following:
a) add a voltage-task
b) add a global virtual channel
(see Attachment: max1.gif)
same error message.

4. After clicking <OK> from the error-message it appears a window
(see Attachment: max2.gif)
Perhaps it helps to find my mistake.

5. I didn't install a gpi-dll in DIAdem and I didn't configure any hardware in DIAdem. I only use the existing icon "NI-DAQ" in DIAdem-DAC-Inputs.

Any helps? Please!

Hello Andreas,

you can download the traditional NI-DAQ driver.

Please try to install it first; if the error message does not go away after that, write again in this thread and I will look for another solutions.

Ahem,

your carrier is only supported in DAQmx. So reinstalling traditional NI-DAQ won't do anything.

In order to read data from the device, you have to create DAQmx channels. DIAdem can't read from DAQmx tasks.

So first create a few channels.

Then:

There is a DAQmx driver for DIAdem.

http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/D9AF63607886EFD986256F6B004131EC   (There should be some english ones somewhere...)

You have to install it for DIAdem to recognize DAQmx at all.

Then you can use NI-DAQin to read your DAQmx channels. Use it also to switch between Trad. NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx.

DAQmx is supported in DIAdem 10 "out of the box".

Thx again Johannes,

I downloaded and installed it. But under devices in MAx there is only the mx-device. (see Attachment: Max3.gif).

I tried to create a new traditional device but there I couldn't find my device (see Attachment: Max4.gif).

I started DIAdem and clicked to the icon - no error message, but the Max-signal-list is empty.

I added a channel in that list and started my DAC. But then there comes an error-message that this signal isn't defined in Max.

So where can I do that and how?

Hi themad,

THX²

Now it works!!! Thank you very much!

I didn't need the English driver cause I'm German.
