File permission error; NI-488: DMA hardware error detected

[iOmri]

Hi Jonah,

I'm have issues with Soft Panel permission error, see screen shot below.

Your Chroma application tries to create a file in a location that doesn't exist, or in which it has no write access rights. Where, how and why is only possible to say when seeing the source code of that application.

My first wild guess is that this might be a build application, created many years ago, and trying to create a configuration file in the same directory as where the exe is located. That was a valid attempt back before Windows 7 or XP or thereabout, but discouraged. With Windows 7 this got a privileged location that only an administrator or system process has write access to be default.

You should ask Chroma as they are "working on better solution"!

The image shows the GPIB configuration tab: are you trying to access a device via GPIB?

Then that error message might indicate a missing/broken GPIB interface… (You noticed the "or" in the error message?)

(On the other hand the error occured at the "New file" function, so it probably is related to access rights.)
