What does BusErrorRecv=68 mean in VXIbus?

I was running my application with VXIcpu-030 controller card and some A/D cards and when the controller tried to initialize one of the A/D card, a bus error occurred. The global valuable BusErrorRecv returned 68. What does the value 68 mean? Where can I find the error values listing? Thanks for your help!

BusErrorRecv is actually a counter, not a status; a value of 68 means you received 68 bus errors since the last time the counter was reset. A VXI bus error is a (typically) non-fatal condition indicating that a VXI device did not respond to a given access -- this could be because you accessed space where no device exists, or because the device did not respond at the time you accessed it (perhaps because a FIFO was full or empty).
