Error -1074118653 occurred at niRFSA Initialize.vi

[Jean-Richard]

I am currently using NI PXI-1045 to test RF signal from a device under test. I am using an exact copy of an example used for NI-RFSA. The unit under test is connected to the input of Ni PXI-5600 which is wired with Ni PXI-5142 to create NI-PXI-5661. When I run my vi, I got the following message " Error -1074118653 occurred at niRFSA Initialize.vi

Possible reason(s):

The device specified is not supported by this driver.

Status Code:-223543"

Would you please help?

Regards,

Is your 5600 device in slot 2 of your PXI chassis as that is what the default control is showing.

[Jean-Richard]

My 5600 device occupies slots 8 thru 10. By the way, I am using Labview 8.6.

OK so to get this to work on your front panel click on the down arrow of the 'Resource Name' control and select 'refresh'. Now it should show the correct PXI # and Slot #.

[Jean-Richard]

It now indicates PXI slot 8. After running it, I received another error message: Error -1074118649 and the possible reason is that the digitizer resource name is not specified. It needs to be specified in MAX.

OK, then open Measurement and Automation Explorer(MAX). It sounds like you need to associate the downconverter with the digitizer. On the left side of MAX expand the devices and interfaces tree and then expand the chassis tree. Right click on the 5600 device (slot 😎 and select properties and associate it with your digitizer.

It works! Thanks for all your help.
