My PXI Controller Is Showing Error Transferring Control to User Program When Turned On

Updated Jul 23, 2020

Issue Details

My PXI shows the error "Transferring Control To User Program" as below when I turned it ON.

Solution

These are some steps that you can use to resolve the issue:

Perform the USB Boot Utility to reinstall the operating system. Note that this will be considered as reformatting the controller, therefore please make a backup of important files. You can refer to this particular link Using a Utility USB Drive to Format my Real-Time Phar Lap ETS PXI Controller
Replace the hard disk of the PXI Controller.

Additional Information

The Transfer Control message is usually associated with the incompatibility of Real Time version and the PXI processor. For example, Real Time 2015 is relatively new compare to the chipset of the PXI-8106 which only have Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. Please refer to Related Links section to see the compatibility.
