Fwd: nidaq module compilation / info

[Daniel Rairigh]

Paul-Quentin,

First of all, thank you for your interest in PyRWI. Please post your questions to the mailing list ( http://groups.google.com/group/pyrwi-devel/ ) so that others can benefit from them.

I am using NI-DAQmx 8.9.5. For me, CalHandle is defined as

typedef uInt32             CalHandle;

 

in the NIDAQmx.h header file.

I would recommend

1. Make sure you have the NIDAQmx.h header file. My header file was installed here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\DAQmx ANSI C Dev\include
2. If you do not have the header file, you need to go back to the NIDAQmx installer and make sure you include the ANSI C option.
3. If you do have the header file, but it is not installed in the same location, you will have to modify the build.sh to point to the correct path.
4. Look in your NIDAQmx.h header file and see if it defines CalHandle.
5. If it does not, then you need to figure out what it is using instead. You can do this by looking up a function like DAQmxESeriesCalAdjust. My header file defines this function as follows:
   int32 __CFUNC     DAQmxESeriesCalAdjust          (CalHandle calHandle, float64 referenceVoltage);
   If yours has a different definition, then the nidaqmx.i file needs to be rebuilt. See instructions below.

Re-building nidaqmx.i:

1. Update to the latest code from the repository. You should now have the genInterface.py script.
2. If your NIDAQmx.h is in a different location than mine, you may have to edit the genInterface.py code to adjust the default header path. ( self.header_path = "C:\Program Files..." )
3. Run genInterface.py. It should re-write your nidaqmx.i file.
1. Double check the DAQmxESeriesCalAdjust definition in nidaqmx.i and see if it matches the definition in your header file.
   
4. Now try running build.sh now
   

Hope that helps. If not let me know.
BTW right now I only have time to work on PyRWI on the weekends, so I am sorry for the long delay in my responses.

Daniel

Hello Daniel,


I found your code (PyRWI and nidaq module especially) and I must admit this is exactly what I was looking for. So I tried to compile your modules, but I am running into some C-code dark corners ; as you will notice, I am not very familiar with C ;o)

I did compile the static library libnidaqmx.a, but when I try to build the module, gcc blurts a bunch of error messages (listed below), which make me think that there is an issue with a CalHandle type definition (which is, I'm sad to say, the most accurate description of the problem I can figure out, even after a few hours spent scratching my head). This error appears in all the C function related to a Ni board calibration action.

I'v listed a few infos below and the listing. Perhaps will you be able, if you scan quickly throug the error listing, to figure out that something is missing. I use nidaq 7.5.0. I don't know if you're using another version...

Thanks

Best Regards,

Paul-Quentin
