NI RIO 2.0 vs Star Trigger Modules

[Oli_Wachno]

Hi there,

I'm currently using the LV FPGA  7.1 together with NI RIO 1.3.  My main RIO target is an 7813R, but with this driver version I can't access my StarTrigger modules as RIO targets. This seems to be a known problem at NI. Does V 2.0 fix this? Is V2.0 compatible with LV FPGA 7.1?

Cheers

Oliver

Hi Oliver,
NI-RIO 2.0 works with all actual and prior RIO-supporting versions of LabVIEW (7.0, 7.1.x and 8.0) - and related modules of LabVIEW FPGA (1.0, 1.1 and 8.0).
But the rest of your question I don´t understand. Please  give some more details about your application, your "StarTrigger Modules" and/or upload an example,
what you are trying to do.

Regards,
Thomas.

Hi Tobel,

thanks for the reply. My problem with RIO 1.3.1 is that I can see my PXI7813R as a RIO target but not the PXI6652 that should also show up as a RIO target (the hardware revision of the board is ok, already checked that).  I had the 6652 Board sent to NI and they told me it was working correctly but not with RIO 1.3.1 so I should use an older RIO driver in order to program it.... But I did not, since afaik, the 7813 needs RIO >= 1.3.1.

Hope that makes it a bit clearer.

Cheers Oli

Hi Oliver,
this issue should be solved by updating the NI-Sync driver to version 2.0
This Version can be downloaded from
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/6DC8583E8700EF70862570CF00695FF4
or
ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/pxi/pxi-665x/ni-sync/2.0/NI-Sync200.exe
I get the compile only target for PXI-665x with NI-Sync 2.0 , NI-RIO 1.3.1 and LV 7.1

Hope this helps,
Thomas.
