Error 10035 occurred at cwdaq: The specified attribute is not relevant

[StrataTech]

Not sure what board this is supposed to go under since there isn't one for the PCI-6023E or the diagnostics utility.

I have a PCI-6023E card (several in fact) that we use.  I have ran several through the online diagnostics utility and they most of the tests.  The two that they do not pass are the Single Pulse - "Error 10035 occurred at cwdaq:  The specified attribute is not relevant."  and Scan Clocks I - same error message.  The card seems to fuction fine despite this.  I have not noticed any problems with us acquiring data through it.  I was just wondering if there was anyone that could tell me what this error means.

Thanks,

Hi StrataTech,

You run these tests on several of your PCI-6023E's and all of them fail these two tests? Or do only some of them fail these tests?

I did a little research on the 6023E and these error codes. I found a known issue with the 6023E failing the Single Pulse test with Error 10035 every time. That particular error/test combo is a known issue and I would not worry about it. However, I did not find anything about the Scan Clocks test failing with the 6023E (but I did see it for another E series card).

There is also an old discussion forum from 2005 where a customer's 6023E failed the two same tests yours are. He did not have any other cards to compare against, so they went ahead and RMAed his device.

Here is my personal opinion:

If all of your 6023E's fail the same tests, yet pass all of the others then I do not think you have much to worry about. If your 6023E's all pass self-test in Measurement & Automation Explorer and you can use them in your DAQ applications without any problems or weird behavior, then I would assume you are probably okay and the errors are just a false positive.

If some of the 6023E's pass tests that others do not, then I would say we have a hardware problem.

Let me know what you think!

P.S. For future reference - if you're unsure which forum to post in, I would say hardware trumps software. Since your DAQ cards are getting errors, posting in the DAQ Hardware forum would give you a better chance of getting some replies. Forums like this are more for text-based programming and the LabWindows environment. No worries though, just a suggestion!
