SCXI-1600

[lowellkubik]

Hi,

I am getting the following error when I go into MAX and try to reset my SCXI-1600 module:

Error -88705 occurred at device reset.

The specified device is not present or is not active in the system.  The device may not be installed on this system, may have been unplugged, or may have been installed incorrectly.

Device: Unknown device

I have the following configuration:

SCXI-1000

SCXI-1520

SCXI-1314T

SCXI-1600

 LabVIEW 8.0

I have recently upgraded to NI-DAQmx 8.80.  In MAX, it shows my equipment (but it has a red "X" on the icons).  I cannot get this error to go away.  I have tried re-installing the NI-DAQ suite with no success.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

maybe this help you?

Thank you for your reply, but I have tried to reset the device and I get the same error as the gentlemen in the post you linked.  I have only used NI-DAQmx, so that should not be an issue.  Is there another way to reset the device other than MAX?

Have you tried unplugging, powering cycling, and replugging in the device.  There are some errors with the USB M series cards with updated DAQmx drivers where the firmware on teh card will not update until this has been done and that would be the issue here as well.

Hi

I am Palash, using NI SCXI-1000 with NI SCXI-1102 NI SCXI-1102 and NI SCXI-1303 but my device is not in active mode.

How can I active my  device? Please suggest.

Hi Palesh,

This is Mike Watts in Applications Engineering at National Instruments. The SCXI-1600, whose LEDs you are referring to has four LEDs which light up in certain combinations to signal certain states. For the active LED to on solid or blinking, there must be activity over the bus. For more specific states, please refer to pages 11 and 12 from the NI SCXI-1600 User Manual and Specifications guide linked below.

Dear Mike Watts,

Thank you for your reply.

As per your instruction I have read the User Manual but there is no instruction for make it active. Is the device SCXI-1000 suitable for Windows 64 bit Operating System? We have another same another modulle in which this active light is on. I also tried with the USB cable but it is not working. Moreover this device is not recognized by my computer though the software is installed properly.

Waiting for your kind reply.

Sincerly

Hi Palash,

The SCXI-1000 is the chassis alone. The device inside the chassis that you are connected to and are attempting to communicate with the whole SCXI system through is the SCXI-1600. The SCXI-1600 is not supported in Windows 64-bit, as noted in note number 10 of the NI KnowledgeBase article linked below. I apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused. Your best bet is to use a Windows 32-bit system. Thanks!

Hi Palash,

Reviewing your code, it looks like you are using the "Write To Measurement File" Express VI. If you double-click on that Express VI, you will see the configuration settings, which include an option for Microsoft Excel as the output file format. This is a great place to start, since you are already using this VI. Also, you may want to check the signal input to the Express VI, because it looks like it is wired up to the right-hand side, which is typically the output side of the VI. Most likely, the wire is connected to the left-hand side and hiding behind the Express VI, but it is worth moving the wire to keep the code clear and readable.

Furthermore, there is a shipping example included with recent versions of LabVIEW, titled "Write Excel File." If you have this shipping example available, you can leverage its code to learn more about Excel file I/O options. I hope this helps.

Also, you will have better luck getting assistance if you post unrelated issues on a new forum post, or existing post related to the same topic.
