warp mode ni-6132

[GVurens]

I have a new PCI-6132 card running on Labview 8.5. I have an external clock of about 2.7 MHz and I will need to run this card in warp mode. How do I achieve this? I found the following example on the NI website (ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/epd/warpmode_613x.llb), but this seems to take only PXI type VISA device descriptors. My PCI card is in the computer PCI slot and is "Dev1" in the NI-MAX device manager.

Please explain what I need to do to make the PCI-6132 run in warp mode.

Thanks -- Gerard

Hi Gerard-

In order to configure your device for Warp Mode you will need to be able to reference it both by the VISA Resource Name as well as the NI-DAQmx Device Name.  This KnowledgeBase entry lists the steps necessary to configure and determine the VISA Resource Name to use.

Hi Tom,

I followed your link, but I don't have VISA options available under the tools menu of NI-MAX. Under the software tab it does show VISA 4.2 as installed. Can I access it elsewhere?

Thanks -- Gerard

Hi Gerard-

Is it possible that you only have VISA deployment or runtime support installed (and not the full development support)?  In any event, I would suggest that you install the full version of NI-VISA 4.2 (found here).

Hi Tom,

You were right. I only had the run-time engine of VISA. After installation of the full VISA software the example code is executable. I don't know if it works properly yet, but all should be OK. Thanks for your help.
