PXI-5402 PLL error: 1074115831

Get PLL error when I try to abort the generation.  The signal generated from AWG seems ok.
If I use 10 MHz, then I'll get the same error when I try to initiate generation.
Any one know how to get around this?  TIA.

 Hi Zou,

 That error message indicates the AWG either cannot see the External 10Mhz ref clock or the PLL circuit has not locked onto it sufficiently (can take several seconds) to allow generation.
 You mention it is being externally supplied, I would advise you to start the external clock before the AWG and the stop it after the AWG.

 Could you try and run this example: niFgen_Reference_Clock_Example.VI?

 This can be found in the NI Example Finder, browse to:
  Hardware Input/Output->Modular Instruments->NI-FGEN (signal generators)->Arbitrary Waveform Generation->niFgen_Reference_Clock_Example.VI

Does this error always occur? If not, what is the equipment setup to supply the External clock?

Have a great morning!

Thanks for reply.
 
Problem solved: bad PXI-card.  Fail to generate clock.
