NIFCONF_ERR_DD_SIZE_MISMATCH [Error Code - 1000]

[utk]

Hi,
I am using NI-FBUS Configurator V3.2.0.4073 under Win-XP SP2.
Even after downloading the .ffo,.sym and .cff files to NI using Interface Configuration utility I am getting the NIFCONF_ERR_DD_SIZE_MISMATCH [Error Code - 1000] warning.
I have Resource, PID, AO, DI, DO and OS block in my application. The above mentioned warning appears only for the resource and AO block only and only when I try to access the blocks (Res/AO). And it disppears when I update the block explicitly. Also the error window does'nt show for which parameter this error is comming !!!!
Can you help me as I am running out of time !!!!!!!!

Thanks
Utkarsh

Which device do you use? Where can I download the DD files?

Actually, this error happens because of the mismatch between dd file and the device. NI Configurator just follow the FF specifications to do the comparision.

One possible reason is the compatibility. The DD files are stored in \National Instruments\NI-FBUS\Data. Go to the folder of the files you load by Configurator Utility. For example, \National Instruments\NI-FBUS\Data\0007d0\0080. If you see some other files, backup them to another place. Because the DD files may have several versions, the Configurator will load the latest version which may not be compatible with your device.

So, only leave your downloaded files in the folder.

Hi Rayn,
             Thanks for the info. Actually we are developing this device and all DD creation are done from the scratch so can't reveal the product name.
Initally along with this error NI used to show the mis-matched parameter name and index number. But this time its only the statement and
also its not affecting the device functionality. And also if its a mis-match then the error should remain even after updating the block.
I also compared the DD and script files 2 - 3 times and all looks okay to me.
And the best part is that this error is not regular. . Sometime it comes and sometime does'nt . . . . !!!!!
do we have to register somewhere to introduce a new device to NI ? ? ?

I don't think you need to register the device somewhere...

Any other solution or suggestion ? ?

When you get this error in Configurator, you will see where the error comes from in Status tab.

See the attached pic.

LD302's resource block has this error. It shows that when reading view 4, the error happens. You can also check it in your configurator.

If you open this block, the question mark on the block will disappear. But it doesn't mean the error disappears. If you right click the block and select Update, you will see the error and question mark again.

The problem was in view list only!!!!
We have rectified the problem and its working fine.
Thanks for your suggestion.
