Re: Victors not working

Thank you. We never tried using Jaguars with Victor setting. But, this explains why the victors might be so sporadic with Jaguar setting. However, still not getting activity with Victors when assigning Victor. What could this be? Is there another alternative? I'm getting ready to call NI directly.

Correctly plugging a PWM cable into a Victor is maddeningly difficult to do, and nearly impossible to tell when you've failed without trying to control it. It sometimes seems to me that consistently getting it right takes years of experience and practice.

Re: Victors not working

PWM not the issue. Called NI support, they also suggested PWM and to re-calibrate the victors. They also said they tested everything against the cRio. Question now is - which crio? We have the older five bay and recently had it fixed. Could be the crio. But Jaguars work just fine!
