Error downloading and running fpga code

Hi all, I am getting an error downloading FPGA code to fpga board on another PC. It works fine from various other development machines but will not work with my laptop. Attached is the error code dialog box that comes up when I try to run the FPGA code. Has anyone seen anything like this before?


Thanks,


Dean

Hi Dean,
 
Have you checked that you have the same software versions installed in your laptop as the one installed in the other computers? Also, could you please elaborate on the setup that your are using?

I guess I was a little lacking in details.  All of the LabVIEW installs on all the PC's are the same.  Windows service packs and security updates etc are close.  My laptop has a bit extra on it with VMWare, wireless, some security software, other usb dongles for other software, etc.  This only occurs with a compiled FPGA VI that I am trying to run on the FPGA with the LV front panel open.  If I create windows VI and call the fpga code with an Open FPGA reference linked to a bitfile or a VI there is no problem.  I have followed all the methods for connecting to the remote FPGA card.  I have repeated the process with blank projects on my laptop and another PC and created the exact same code. 

This is why I am asking if someone knows what the error code means to help narrow down the search.  The visa check in MAX works and I can open the RIO Device Setup from the LabVIEW project.

I believe your problem is described in this knowledgebase.

You need to change the automatically close VISA session option.

That fixed it.  Apparently I should not have used a -63195 as the - character causes the search to exclude the following term.
