PXI-7833R calibration

[DrX]

When trying to calibrate a PXI-7833R card by launching 783XR Calibration - Open FPGA VI Reference.vi, it does not locate the vi PXI-7833R_CalibrationOpenRef.vi. I searched everywhere in the LabView folder and cannot find it. Can someone send this vi to me or tell me where I can locate it?

Thank You.

I am assuming you are using the R-Series calibration API located here?

Have you modifed the VI's at all...they should work out of the box.

We had been using LabVIEW 8.2 and the procedure worked properly. We recently upgraded to verion 8.5 and also updated NI-RIO to version 3.0.1.  After that, the vi's no longer worked. Some are missing entirely such as _nirio_device_configAddFifo.vi which I believe is/was in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\vi.lib\LabVIEW Targets\FPGA\RIO\nirio_driverPrimitives.llb library. I am not sure but it appears as if these two upgrades somehow eliminated some files.

I had been to the link that you showed and noticed the LabVIEW 8.6 cal procedure. This no longer uses the VISA I/O controls and uses the RIO control. I download these vi's from the link. I have a request in to our IT department to upgrade to version 8.6.  The link also indicates that NI-RIO 3.1 (or a patch for 3.0) is required but I cannot locate any link to this version on the NI site.

Thanks for the response.

If you were using version 8.2 and then upgraded to 8.5, then the old vi's should be located in your 8.2 folders.  These would have to be migrated to the 8.5 folders or located in the 8.2 directory when prompted.

There is currently no release for NI-RIO 3.1, 3.0.1 is our latest release, so you should be fine with that version.

Let me know if this helps.
