Issue Details

This error can be found using RFSA

• I am trying to Self-Calibrate my PXIe Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) with the LabVIEW shipping VI "RFSA Self Calibration". However, I get the following error:
  
  Error -1074097149 occurred at niRFSA Self-Cal.vi
   
  Possible reason(s):
  An unexpected software error occurred.
   

In addition, when I go to NI-MAX and select my VST under the hardware tree, the Self-Calibration section shows no valid data. Why is this and how can I resolve this error?

• I am trying to Self-Calibrate my VST but it failed with the following error:

And can be found using RFSG

• I’m having an issue with a VST 5841 which is throwing this error for the signal generation when trying to open an instance in Instrument Studio. How can I fix this? 

Solution

To solve the issue with RFSA:

This error can be caused by several factors, including sable issues, no valid self-calibration data of the device, and external LO configuration problems. To address this error, follow these preliminary troubleshooting steps: 

1. Ensure that all cables are intact and securely connected. Look for any signs of damage and replace any faulty cables.
2. Disconnect and then reconnect all IA connectors to ensure they are properly seated. Rerun the Self-Calibration.
3. Launch Self-Calibration from a Soft Front Panel: When there is no previous valid Self-Calibration data registered for the device, the device will remain in a loop where it cannot run a Self-Calibration. This occurs because the absence of valid data prevents the self-calibration process from completing successfully. Although there are multiple methods to launch a Self-Calibration for the majority of the VSTs, the recommended way to bypass this error is by launching the Self-Calibration from a Soft Front Panel.
   1. Open the RFmx Soft Front Panel.
   2. Click the small gear icon in the upper right corner.
   3. Then, follow this path <Your Device Name> >> Calibration >> Self-Calibration...
   4. Below is an example for a VST PXIe-5644 named PXI1Slot8.
