error -1073807300 causes and fixes

[ganrim]

Of four identically stations one commonly throws this error during one of several CVI compiled functions. This indicates a memory problem (windows?) or can this actually be an instrument problem? What are the common causes and fixes for this error?

Some of the documents refer to LabVIEW, but the error code and descriptions outlined in these documents may apply to CVI as well. Let me know how it goes. Hope this helps!

Hello Ganrim,

You do not mention which kind of operations you are doing when you get this error. I assume you are communicating with an instrument using VISA (or IVI?) since the error seems to be related to VISA. What is the instrument you are talking to? When exactly do you get this error?

Actually, you should try posting this question (providing the answers to my questions, as well as the versions of all the software you are using -VISA, CVI and so on) in one of the Instrument Connectivity Discussion Forums (there is one for Serial Interfaces, one for GPIB, one for VISA and one for Instrument Drivers/IVI). That would be a more suitable p
lace for this question since this error is Not related to TestStand.
