Agilent 33220 Arb Waveform remote control issue- Error -220, Data out of range

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

Hello,

I am controlling one Agilent 33220A through one CVI application using the USB port, thanks to the API :

Ag33220_InitWithOptions, Ag33220_ArbitraryWaveformSetData,Ag33220_SystemWaitForOperationComplete...

I am performing a loop where my waveform is changing. THis waveform is sent in the volatile memory of the device.

This wavefom as 2000 points.

What i observe is that it works for 4 iterations, then an error -222 Data out of range happens when i try to set the waveform with 

Ag33220_ArbitraryWaveformSetData(session, WAVEFORM_SIZE, fWaveform, &iActual)

It is as if the Volatile buffer size has reach the end. But impossible to clean it or raz it in order that i can update a new waveform.

IS there any proper way to do this?

Thank you

Regards
