Issue Details

I have an XNET database file, but after selecting it from "Browse for Database File", the available signals don't show up in the "Signal List" control.
XNET.jfif
 

Solution

This issue may arise if the XNET database contains underscores or slashes in its name.​​​​​​

Remove symbols from the XNET database file's name and try to select the database file again.
 

Additional Information

To avoid the abovementioned issues, NI recommends using names as simple as possible, without any symbols. The preferable option would be to have one word as a name.
