NI-Switch Relay Add-On Feedback

[StephenB]

Greg,

Thank you for doing that. That test isolated the issue to be specific to NI-Switch on your computer and nothing to do with the custom device or NI VeriStand. This was a necesary step so that we can get in touch with our engineers that support NI-Switch.

Can you create a support request at http://www.ni.com/support and attach one of those VIs and the screen shot? They will be able to help.

I created a support request and posted it on the LabVIEW forum, along with an image of the 'scratch VI' error message and a copy of the init sim switch (scratch).vi file.  Here's the link:  http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Issue-with-NI-Switch-Driver-Error-1074135030/td-p/1834483

Thanks again for all your help Stephen  🙂

We have a workaround!  🙂

Woohoo!!

Just read through. Quite a weird one. Sorry for all the hassle. Glad you're up and running!

Hi Stephen,

I don't see the PXI-2571/66-SPDT in the list of topologies available where I can see it if I open the source code and find the typedef. I certainly miss something.

Regards

Vince

Unfortunately the string drop down box is compiled into the custom device and it came from a particular version of NI-Switch. So new switches aren't in the drop down. However, you should be able to type the name in.

Feature request from my recent trip:

• Extend Switch CD to support 272x resistive simulators (just adding the topology strings).
• Also it would be great if there was an option to use the real relay names instead of relay 1…

[StephenB]

hey Andreas! Thanks for capturing feedback:

• A new CD will be posted soon that does the new resistive simulation boards. It will be specific to resistive sim so it will be much easier to use than using the board as a switch
• Good call. I'm not sure if there is a way to query that data from the driver... I'll put that on the todo list

Hi,

I've been trying to use this custom device in Veristand 2013, having previously had it working with Veristand 2012 (though only as an experiment). I've downloaded, extracted and installed from "NI-Switch Relay_2013_1.0.0.zip". I get the option to create the custom device, but then get this dialog:

I've tried rebuilding the custom device from LabVIEW which went OK but the same problem still exists.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Graham.

Hello Graham,

I just tested out the 2013 build and it works fine for me. Can you verify your \Custom Devices\ directory isn't corrupted? Try removing everything except the 2013 switch relay device.
