Issue Details

  1. Whenever I try to open the RFmx SpecAn Soft Front Panel to access my Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) device, I get the following error. Also, if I try to run the intermediate Self-Calibration for this device, I get the same message.

  1. I am seeing this error after moving my VST from one chassis to another. It is the same chassis model and slot number. When I try to initialize the device from LabVIEW using the RFSA/G Initialize API call, it gives me an error saying I have an invalid resource name, and to “use MAX to find proper resource name”. However, the LabVIEW resource name parameter matches the name in MAX. How can I resolve this?
     

Solution

This error is caused by a device configuration that persists in the software environment after system changes. To ensure any old hardware setting gets erased, rename the device in MAX. If you want to keep the existing name, rename the device to something else and then change the name back to the original string.
