PXI
possible to start MXI-3/PXI system after PC booted?
Solved!
Hi,
I'm new here, so I just asked this question in another thread through a reply. I didn't notice that it was already marked as solved, so I'm going to ask again in my own thread.
My problem may seem very related to the one of Kobi, but there are some differences which are holding my hopes up that the problem could be solved. The system setup summarized:
- PC (MXI-3)
->PXI1002 (Chassis1)
->PXI8335 (port1 - in)
->PXI8335 (port2 - out)
->PXI5122 (measurement)
->PXI1002 (Chassis2)
->PXI8335 (port1 - in)
->PXI5122 (measurement)
The aim is, as it is easily guessed, to be able to start the additional measurement devices at any time, even while the pc is already running.
The situation differs to Kobis' in one specific point: in my case the cards and all the equipment is at all times visible in MAX, even though I startet it after the pc booted. What does change is the pattern of the leds, and that the PXI cards don't pass the self test in MAX. The following screenshot shows the konfiguration of the system how it is observed after both ways of starting the complete system (pc first or PXI first).
(Even though I'm using an english labview version my MAX partialy remains german, I hope this is no problem.)
I tried to identify the PXI system and chassis, but couldn't get a different result. The NIscope VIs are orderly initialising and resetting all the sessions, but only if I switch on the PXI systems first.
So what do you think, could it be possible to achieve the goal of making it work, or should i stick to booting the pc after switching on the PXIs? I did some research and I know, that the installation guides do specify the order of switching the devices on, but I thought that this was only meant for installation/first run.
I would be really thankfull for any advice in this.
