Installing/Uninstalling/Modifying NI-SCOPEInstalling NI-SCOPE

This section provides information on installing NI-SCOPE and NI-DAQ and upgrading from previous versions of NI-SCOPE.

NI-SCOPE installs NI-DAQ if it is not already installed, or if an earlier version of NI-DAQ is installed. NI-DAQ support files will be installed if you have LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI in your system. However, the only component that NI-SCOPE needs from NI-DAQ is the device driver.

Upgrading from a Previous Version of NI-SCOPE

Upgrading from NI-SCOPE 1.0 and 1.1—NI-SCOPE does not install over NI-SCOPE 1.0 or 1.1. You must uninstall these versions of NI-SCOPE before installing a later version of NI-SCOPE.

Upgrading from NI-SCOPE 1.5 and later—NI-SCOPE automatically uninstalls any previous version that is greater or equal to 1.5. If you have modified any old examples, these will be overwritten by the new versions.

Uninstalling/Modifying NI-SCOPE

For Windows XP, complete the following steps:

• Launch the Control Panel by selecting Start»Control Panel.
• Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
• Select National Instruments Software.
• Click Change/Remove.
• Select NI-SCOPE 3.7 from the dialog box that appears.
• Click Remove to uninstall the product; click Modify to change the components that are installed.
  

For Windows Vista, complete the following steps:

Bug Fixes

The following list contains changes from earlier versions of NI-SCOPE to NI-SCOPE 3.7. If you have a Bug ID, you can search this list to validate that the issue has been fixed. This is not an exhaustive list of issues fixed in the current version of NI-SCOPE.

Bug ID	Fixed Issue
NI-SCOPE
232263	Fixed an issue where the NI-SCOPE Express VI does not maintain input impedance configuration. Changed the Express VI so it maintains the input impedance configuration.
217159	Fixed an issue where closing a Signal Express project containing an NI-SCOPE step returned an error.
185276	NI-SCOPE driver now returns an error if the session is invalid.
250183	Fixed an issue where the user's digital gain could not be applied properly even though it had not reached the +/-1.5 V allowed. Digital gain will now be coerced to the maximum that works for the current device and the current configuration. Users can read the Digital Gain property/attribute to find the coerced value.

---

Known IssuesDynamic Mode in the LabVIEW FPGA Module

Using dynamic FPGA interfaces (also known as dynamic mode) in the LabVIEW FPGA Module is not supported when using peer-to-peer streaming. Dynamic mode is enabled by default in the LabVIEW FPGA Module 2010. To disable Dynamic mode, complete the following steps:

• Place the Open FPGA VI Reference function on the LabVIEW block diagram.
• Right-click the function and select Configure Open FPGA VI Reference.
• Remove the checkmark from the Dynamic mode listbox.
  

Security Prompts

When you run setup.exe to install the software from the CD, you are prompted to choose whether you want to always trust software from National Instruments. If you do not select this option, your installation may be interrupted by one or more Microsoft Windows security dialog boxes. However, if you run setup from the command line, you will not receive this prompt, and the installer will automatically install NI's Software Publisher Certificate to your Windows Trusted Publisher Store. If you do not want to make this change to your Windows Trusted Publisher Store, do not choose this installation method.

NI PXIe-5122 and NI PXIe-5622 Firmware Update for NI-SCOPE 3.7

A firmware update for the NI PXIe-5122 is available with NI-SCOPE 3.7. This update enables peer-to-peer streaming functionality on these devices.

To update firmware, run the Firmware Updater application from one of the following locations:

• Windows XP and Windows 7/Vista 32-bit: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\fpgafiles\ni5122\NI PXIe-5122 Firmware Updater.exe.
• Windows 7 64-bit/Vista 64-bit: Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\fpgafiles\ni5122\NI PXIe-5122 Firmware Updater.exe.
  

This application will upgrade your firmware to the latest available that works with this driver. After the application has finished running, you will be required to power down your computer and PXIe chassis to complete the firmware update.

For more information on installing firmware updates, refer to KnowledgeBase 4MJGCSAY at ni.com/support.

NI-SCOPE P2P Example Projects Prompt for Save on Close

NI-SCOPE Peer-to-Peer examples may require you to save them after opening the examples for the first time.

Switching between Certain Trigger Slopes with NI-TClk Misses Triggers

When synchronizing NI 5105 devices with NI-TClk and switching between negative digital trigger slope and immediate trigger, the immediate trigger will time out.

Window/FFT Results Differ between NI-SCOPE and LabVIEW

If you perform a Window/FFT in NI-SCOPE, the results are slightly different compared to similar functions in LabVIEW. This is because NI-SCOPE uses a slightly different definition of Windowing than LabVIEW uses.

LabVIEW SignalExpress Does Not Allow Digital Triggering with TIS Enabled on Certain Devices

In LabVIEW SignalExpress, you cannot trigger an NI 5154 device with a digital signal if Time Interleaved Sampling (TIS) mode is enabled.

RAM Requirements for NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel

Your system must have at least 512 MB of RAM to launch the NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel.

NI 515x Devices and NI-TClk Synchronization

When using an NI 515x device in TIS mode with NI-TClk synchronization and an external sample clock, the devices configured as the TClk slaves may fail to respond to reference triggers.

Downgrading NI-SCOPE

If you need to downgrade the current version of NI-SCOPE to NI-SCOPE 2.1.4 or earlier, you must uninstall the current versions of NI-SCOPE and NI-DAQmx before installing the older version of NI-SCOPE. After the older version of NI-SCOPE is installed, you can then reinstall NI-DAQmx.

Function Reference Help

If you click a topic link in the NI-SCOPE Function Reference Help section of the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help, you cannot use the Back button in the HTML Help window toolbar to return to the original topic.

Using Help from LabVIEW

When linking to a topic in the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help from the context help or opening the help file from a VI within LabVIEW, the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help launches and the relevant topic displays, but the location of the topic might not be highlighted in the table of contents.

Windows Power Management

NI recommends that you disable Windows power management modes, such as sleep, standby, and hibernate, when using NI-SCOPE. These modes terminate any NI-SCOPE operation in progress. In Windows Vista or on a laptop computer, the default power management settings are likely to enable sleep mode.

LabVIEW Support for Traditional NI-DAQ

Beginning with version 7.4.2, Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) will install support for the latest version of LabVIEW found on the system. If you require support for more than one version of LabVIEW, complete the following steps:

• Install Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy)(included in the NI-SCOPE installer).
• Restart the system.
• Copy the following folders from the latest version of LabVIEW to the folder of the older version of LabVIEW. [LVDIR] indicates the folder of the latest LabVIEW version.
  
  • [LVDIR]\vi.lib\daq
  • [LVDIR]\examples\daq
  • [LVDIR]\help\lvdaq.chm
  • [LVDIR]\menus\default\daq
    
  
  

You should now be able to use Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) with both versions of LabVIEW.

The Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) API is mass-compiled in LabVIEW 7.0. This will not affect the functionality of your VIs. However, LabVIEW will prompt you to save the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) subVIs if your LabVIEW version is greater than 7.0. To avoid the prompts, mass-compile the folders referenced above. If you require Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) support for earlier versions of LabVIEW, you need an earlier version of Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy).

NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel Keyboard Shortcuts

Beginning with NI-SCOPE 3.1, the following shortcuts have changed in the NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel:

• Increment trigger coupling has changed from to .
• Decrement trigger coupling has changed from to .
• now toggles the cursors.
  

NI-SCOPE Express Step in NI Signal Express 1.0

The NI-SCOPE Express step that ships with NI-SCOPE was designed for use with NI SignalExpress 1.1 or later. The NI-SCOPE Express step is compatible with NI SignalExpress 1.0 with the exception that software start triggers are not supported.

TClk Connector Alignment in NI-SCOPE 2.7 and Later

If you are using NI-TClk to synchronize non-identical devices (for example, an NI PXI-5122 with an NI PXI-5124), you will notice a change in behavior in the skew associated with synchronization when you upgrade from NI-SCOPE 2.6.1 to a later version. The new behavior compensates for delay associated with the input path. This delay varies from device to device. Because the driver now handles this delay, synchronizing any SMC-based products should produce data that has a small constant skew over all sample rates.

NI 5102

Board revision 183612F-01 of the NI PCI-5102 and board revision 184603E-01 of the NI PXI-5102 must be used with NI-SCOPE 2.6.1 or later. Board revision 183442G-01 of the NI PCMCIA-5102 must be used with NI-SCOPE 2.8 or later. To verify the board revision number, remove the device from the computer or chassis and turn it to view the side. The revision number is labeled "ASSY" and is located near the serial number. If you have an earlier version NI-SCOPE installed, go to ni.com/idnet to download the latest version.

NI 5112

You can now read data as soon as it is acquired. However, on a single record acquisition, the fetch functions do not wait for the trigger holdoff to expire. If you configure a trigger holdoff on a single record acquisition, you must make sure the trigger holdoff period has expired before initiating another acquisition. Call niScope_AcquisitionStatus to find out when the entire acquisition, including trigger holdoff, has completed.

NI 5122

• To change the rate of the external clock within the same session, you need to first change the rate by setting the Sample Clock Timebase Rate attribute, then change the rate of your source, then call the function niScope_Commit. If you change the rate of the source before setting the attribute, you may get an error. Another option is to abort the acquisition after fetching the data but before changing the rate.
• Board revision 190100B-01 of the NI PXI-5122 must be used with NI-SCOPE 2.7 or later. To verify the board revision number, remove the device from the computer or chassis and turn it to view the side. The revision number is labeled "ASSY" and is located near the serial number. If you have an earlier version of NI-SCOPE installed, go to ni.com/idnet to download the latest version.
  

NI PXI/PCI-5142, NI PXIe-5622

TClk synchronization is not fully supported for certain cases. When the DDC Enabled property or the NISCOPE_ATTR_DDC_ENABLED attribute is set to True, there are certain configurations for which shared triggers cannot be TClk synchronized. The following table explains which triggers can be TClk synchronized for different configurations. For all cases, it is assumed that the DDC is enabled. If the DDC is not enabled, there are no restrictions on TClk synchronization.

Configuration	5142				5622
	Start Trigger	Reference Trigger (Digital)	Reference Trigger (Analog Edge)	Reference Trigger (Power Edge)	Start Trigger	Reference Trigger (Digital)	Reference Trigger (Analog Edge)	Reference Trigger (Power Edge)
Fractional Resampling Off, Homogeneous Sample Rates	Y	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	N/A	Y
Fractional Resampling Off, Heterogeneous Sample Rates	Y	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	N/A	N
Fractional Resampling On, Single-Record, Homogeneous Sample Rates	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Y	Y	N/A	Y
Fractional Resampling On, Single-Record, Heterogeneous Sample Rates	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Y	N	N/A	N
Fractional Resampling On, Multi-Record, Homogeneous Sample Rates	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Y	Y	N/A	Y
Fractional Resampling On, Multi-Record, Heterogeneous Sample Rates	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Y	N	N/A	N

Note: Reference triggers that cannot be TClk synchronized (such as power edge reference triggers) can still be shared between devices by exporting them using the niScope Export Signal VI or the niScope_ExportSignal function.

Link Library

NI-SCOPE 2.1.4 and previous versions installed a duplicate version of the NI-SCOPE C link library called niscope_32.lib. This duplicate version has been obsoleted and now only niscope.lib is installed. Programs linking against the duplicate name need to be changed to link against niscope.lib.

Visual Basic

ViConstString, ViChar, and ViString are used as parameters for the NI-SCOPE functions. However, these types are invalid in Visual Basic. Visual Basic users should declare variables of type String.

IVI

The trigger type (NISCOPE_ATTR_TRIGGER_TYPE) for immediate triggering used to be returned as NISCOPE_VAL_EDGE (1). It is now returned as NISCOPE_VAL_IMMEDIATE_TRIGGER (6).
