one pin is not working in PCI6534

[SIVA_M]

Hi,

P1.0  pin is not working in my PCI6534. I have checked using test panel by giving 5V supply. All signals are coming expect P1.0

What is the meaning of self test ? It shows pass.

I am using P0 and P1 ports to capture 16 bit data. as P1.0 is not working, I am missing one bit data. Can I use any other port pins( 2 and 3) to capture this one bit data ? If yes, how to arrange the order for MSB to LSB. Please advice. I have attached my program.

I have also attached snashot of my PCI6534. Is warranty still valid for this product ? If not, what is the procedure to get repair ?

Hi Siva,

The self-test checks to make sure that the driver is able to communicate with the card and performs a series of tests to determine if the hardware is communicating properly.  It does not do extensive testing on the digital input and output lines. You will need to do those manually.  We do have a diagnostic tool which can do this.

To get your product repaired, please send a mail to support.india@ni.com

To use any other pin to capture the one bit data, you can specify the port number in your channel parameters using line notation.

When the line number is present in the NI-DAQmx name, only that line is used. You can use multiple line notation as in 

Dev x/Port y/Line a:b or Dev x/Port y/Line a,b,c .

You can use a Boolean to number array to set your MSB / LSB correspondingly.

Cheers

Hi,

Sorry for the thread necro.

Do you have any information on the diagnostic tool,to enable manual testing ? I have looked around the site,but cannot find anything.

Steve.
