Solution

The firmware version on the target SLSC chassis does not match that of the NI-SLSC driver installed on the host device and, if using VeriStand, the target being deployed to.

To resolve this: 
  1. Update the firmware of the target SLSC chassis to the matching version.
  2. Retry the deployment or run the application again.

Alternatively:
  1. Uninstall the NI-SLSC driver from the host & target.
  2. Install the version that matches the firmware on the SLSC chassis.
