Hi Fellow LabVIEW Developers,

I am looking for one or two analog frame grabber by NI (PXI 1411).

I prefer PXI format, but if you have PCI, please let me know.

If you have one and are willing to sell it please contact me directly.

" I don't see a scenario where an all-hybrid chassis would be helpful unless you're going to be constantly reorganizing hardware. "

This is exactly the point. One may need to do exactly that.

This is the scenario, you are working on "validation" (and not end of line testing) of a product A.

You have a batch of x number of product A, you run your "validation" tests and provide the report back to Engineering Dept. and your job is done!

Now you have product B coming along for Validation. All you have to do is to swap (change) a few cards and load validation program for product B, and voila you have a system for testing product B DUTS. (In the mean time keep the program and the hardware for product A in a secure place! source safe for hardware!?)

Thanks

Hrm... Is that the TestExec SL software? It doesn't look very free on the website. Then there is the adage of getting what you pay for...

My Bad, I asked about this in particular and you are right it is not free! I think it is about 2500 bucks!

By the way, do you know much about this TestExec? Apparently you can run Labview vi's too. Isn't this like Test Stand?

some kind of sequencer and scheduler?

Thanks

Hamid

It is interesting to hear that the "cooling" in 21st Century can be a problem! In fact this was a sales pitch of Agilent Salesman.

He said that you must leave a gap of at least 1U on top and 1U on bottom on NI-Chassis, whereas Agilent one will be perfectly fine without any gap, due to the superior cooling techniques!? I will be able to test this when I get a loaner Agilent on!

Cheers

Dear List Members,

My Boss has asked me to look into new Agilent PXI Chassis and compares it with NI Chassis.

The Agilent Salesman provides a list of "superior" performance items, such as:

- All slots are hybrid (not like NI that some of them are hybrid)

- two 4GB paths (effectively 8GB) for data transfer (as opposed to 2.5 GB for NI Chassis)

- Existing of Timing card? and Trigger line? that is more superior than NI?

- Better cooling methodology

- "Free" Agilent Test Exec Software module

I have not had a chance to test this Chassis yet and would like to ask independent opinion of the esteemed list members about their positive of negative experiences related to this new product from Agilent.

My main concern is lack of software (driver) compatibility with MAX and Labview, although the Agilent Sales man is assuring me that there is no such a problem! (Agilent is about 20-25 percent more expensive than NI)

Considering that Agilent does not have any FPGA, Image Acq, Motion Control, etc PXI Modules, it is a bit hard for me to accpet this claim. They provide a few DAQ and Switch PXI modules .

So, bottom line, if you are using Agilent PXI chassis, could you please share your impartial experience with me? Either positive or negative, please.

I really appreciate your help.

Kindest Regards

Hi,

I need to buy an analog (color) frame grabber (NI of course). I prefer 1411 but if you have 1405 that will be useful too.

Please email me directly (hamid.yazdi@yahoo.com) if you have one and are willing to sell.

Thanks

Hi,

I just transferred some fund to my Paypal account (it says it takes 3-5 days for the transaction to be cleared).

So as soon as I get the confirmation, I'll buy the ticket .

Norm;

Why all these pictures are so cruel. I will not get (and buy) them at all!

Can you draw something related to mankind, love, peace, help, respect, etc.

I am a parent and would not like to wear such T shirts!

Michael and the rest of LAVA team;

Thank you very much for the hard work. See you at NI-Week!
