How to read ASCII ID from A2L file using MC XCP Get ID vi

[ImHappy@RBG2017-04]

Hi,

I am using ECU M&C toolkit 15 with NI USB 8473s. I am trying to read ASCII ID (to read software version from A2L file)using MC XCP GET ID VI (choosing type 0). With following code I have problem as sometimes it gives correct ID string while sometimes error -1074388957.

Could you please help to solve this problem.

Thank you.

Cheers,

SD

You should add the MC ECU Close.vi to the end of your program before the Error Out.  Constantly opening a file without closing it can cause odd behavior at times.
