TBX-1316 Failure?

Hello,

 

I have been using a SCXI-1125/TBX-1316 combination for about 6 months to acquire high-voltage line signals and low-voltage transducer signals.  The system is controlled by a C# application using Measurement Studio, and has been running very well since installation.  Prior to each acquisition, the software application signals the SCXI chassis to reset.  Recently, during a typical day of testing, the system had run 15-20 acquisitions.  On the last acquisition, the SCXI failed to reset and displayed the following error:

This error is displayed in the C# application as well as in MAX.  If I remove the TBX-1316 accessory from the chassis configuration, the error does not appear.  Does this indicate a physical/EEPROM failure of the TBX-1316?  If so, is there a way to reinitialize the TBX, or must it be returned for service?

 

I have switched the SCXI-1125 modules with those in a similar system, and they seem to be working.  Also, the automatic chassis configuration does detect the TBX-1316 properly, however, the test panels do not allow me to select the -1000V to 1000V range that I have been using.

 

Thank you for any advice you can provide.

Hi Eric,

 

How do the Test Panels not allow you to select +/- 1000V?  What happens?   In Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), try resetting the module, the chassis, and then performing the self test.  What happens for each step?  Do you have another TBX-1316 to test?  Did anything change in the system recently?  Screenshots are always helpful!
