Error Message Cause
1 FAILED DEVICE A device failed its power-on self-test. A device failed if the
resource manager finds the PASSED bit false. The test is
done five seconds after power-on, or when the operating
system has determined that *SYSFAIL is not asserted.
2 UNABLE TO COMBINE DEVICE A device cannot be combined as part of a virtual instrument.
WARNING DEVICE DRIVER NOT FOUND A device’s VXI driver is not in the Command Module. The
resource manager expects to find a driver for all
register-based or message-based devices that are not I or
I4. The device can be accessed through its registers.
4 DC DEVICE ADDRESS BLOCK TOO
BIG
The block of addresses required to dynamically configure
devices is greater than 127. The VXI specification allows
blocks larger than 127. However, due to the VXI
specification restrictions on where DC blocks can be
located, the resource manager rejects blocks larger than
127 since these blocks would have to start at either 0 which
is used by the resource manager, or use address 255 which
disables dynamic configuration.
5 A24 MEMORY OVERFLOW There is not enough available A24 memory required for a
device. The allowable memory space is from 200000h to
FFFFFFh (E00000h - FFFFFFh is only used if there is an 8
Mbyte device in the system). If your system has (mainframe)
extenders, try using the user-defined extender table to
allocate the memory more efficiently.
6 A32 MEMORY OVERFLOW There is not enough available A32 memory required for a
device. The allowable memory space is from 20000000h to
FFFFFFFFh (E0000000h - FFFFFFFFh is only used if there
is a 2000 Mbyte device in the system). If your system has
(mainframe) extenders, try using the user-defined extender
table to allocate the memory more efficiently.
7 DC DEVICE MOVE FAILED A dynamically configured device did not move to its new
logical address.After setting a DC device (or a block of
devices), the resource manager checks the new address(es)
to see if the device(s) actually moved.
8 INACCESSIBLE A24 MEMORY An A24 device has memory below 200000h or above
DFFFFFh. The Command Module cannot access this
memory.
9 UNABLE TO MOVE DC DEVICE There is no logical address (or address block) available for a
dynamically configured device to move to.Try using a
user-defined dynamic configuration table or the
user-defined extender table to assign the addresses more
efficiently.
10 INSUFFICIENT SYSTEM MEMORY Too many instruments are installed for the amount of RAM
available in the Command Module. Only the system
instrument is started.
11 INVALID INSTRUMENT ADDRESS A module’s logical address is not a multiple of 8, or is not
part of a virtual instrument. Secondary GPIB addresses are
only given to devices with logical addresses that are
multiples of eight.
12 INVALID UDEF COMMANDER LADD The user-defined commander logical address is not a valid
commander. Either the commander does not exist, or it is
not a message-based device.
