vrf Using National Instrument DIO Cards with Vee 7.0

Well you can use it, but it's not like Direct IO will work. Load NI-DAQmx software if it's not already loaded. It installs ActiveX or dotNET libraries that will allow you to talk to the card.

Examples depend on what version of NI-DAQ you use.

(one line)

Of course you can always use CreateFile/ReadFile/WriteFile/DeviceIoControl too. If I remember correctly the dio-96 emulates 4 8255 PIO ports strung together.

I currently have a work-around but would rather have it work the way it’s suppose to work. I am using VEE 7.52. I have a DUT that transmits 20 bytes of data over the serial port. I have a direct I/O setup to read Binary -> Byte -> Array 1D -> 20 Bytes. This works until one of the bytes coming in is 0x0A. For example: If the 5th byte out of the 20 is 0x0A (linefeed->“
”), and I use the Bus monitor to view what’s on the serial port, the bus monitor only shows the first 5 bytes coming in and the direct I/O gets a timeout error because it did not get all 20 Bytes. I have gone into Instrument Manager -> <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Serial</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Port</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> -> Properties -> Advance settings -> Direct I/O and deleted the “
” for Read Terminator and EOL Sequence. But, the direct I/O still keeps any data after a 0x0A from coming through. To get around this, I change the Direct I/O to read one byte and use a for…loop that calls the Direct I/O 20 times. Is there a way to get the Direct I/O for a serial port to let all data through and not terminate on a linefeed?<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Rick Page<o:p></o:p>Test/Software Engineer<o:p></o:p>Futaba Corporation of <ns0:country-region w:endInsDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="rpage" w:insDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:insAuthor="rpage"><ns0:place w:endInsDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="rpage" w:insDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:insAuthor="rpage"><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region></ns0:place></ns0:country-region><o:p></o:p>Electronics Components Division<o:p></o:p><ns0:Street w:endInsDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="rpage" w:insDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:insAuthor="rpage"><ns0:address w:endInsDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="rpage" w:insDate="2006-04-03T11:53:00Z" w:insAuthor="rpage"><st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">711 E.

Hi All,

Has anyone ever used a National Instruments (NI PCI-DIO-96) with VEE? Are there any programming examples? I am using

1)Â Â Â Â Â Â VEE 7.0

2)Â Â Â Â Â Â Agilent I/O Libraries 14.0

3)Â Â Â Â Â Â NI Visa ver 3.1

The PC that I am using has a national instruments GPIB card as well as a NI PCI-DIO-96. In VEE, when I click on (I/O>Instr Mgr>Find Instr), I only see the national instruments GPIB card that I installedâ€¦.

Is there any information available on how to get the national hardware to be recognized by VEE?

JohnÂ

Quick web search shows that you can communicate with this using RS232
so you need to create an instrument in the Instrument Manager using
the "serial" interface option. Then set baud rate and whatnot
appropriately, and instantiate one of more Direct IO objects

Check the manuals for that interface. If they include examples
you're in good shape. Otherwise check the command set. In either
case you're going to be reading and writing using Direct IO
transactions.

Unless of course someone has a driver available.
