Bus error during transfer with VISA

[Pilar]

Hello,

I have a PCI-MXI-2 system connected to a PC running Windows. On the other end of the PCI-MXI-2 I have a VME chasis with VME modules. I'm trying to configure one of my VME moduls. For that, I created a device in MAX which is under VXI::0::INTR(PCI-MXI-2). When a tried to read a value with a VISA session I get "Bus error occurred during transfer". I have tried all possible combinations of address spaces and transfered bit blocks. Any idea of what's happening?

Many thanks for your help, Pilar

Are you able to communicate with the device at all using any function? Are there any devices you can communicate with? What bus error code are you getting?

Sorry, I was travelling the last few days.
I wanted to read and write in my CAEN V513 module, but I got problems when running Resman. The system hangs and it stops with the message "Configuring Mainframe 1". The MXI green light of the VME-MXI-2 keeps on. Should I re-install the software for my PCI-MXI-2?

I am getting the same error and have no explination for the cause. "Bus error occurred during transfer" - Error code 0xBFFF0038

This error occurs intermittently during my testing and always happens during a call to viOut16().  Here is the NI Spy capture of the visa communction:

277 viIn16(VXIO::67::INSTR(0x031BDF48), 2, 0x00000000, 0)                    0                     09:38:29.404

278 viOut16(VXIO::67:INSTR(0x031BDF48, 2, 0x00000000, 64)                  0xBFFF0038    09:38:29.404

I'm trying to communicate with an SMP3001 switch module.

I have the latest VXI / VISA software installed.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
