I'm just a grad student, so I'm hoping this is something of you those with more experience will be familiar with this.
I've been using this VI reliably for the past few months, but this error recently started popping up indicating.
Error -52018 occurred at nilnstr FIFO Register Bus v1 Host.lvclassReset.vic1260001 -- "possible hardware failure has occurred."
I'm using an NI PXIe 1073 with a 5170R oscilloscope. For a few days, I was able to restore functionality by switching the RIO device selection from the PXI port to "RIO0" (as the PXIe is also identified on NI MAX), but then it started happening again.
The PXIe is popping up on NI Max, and there appears to be no issues with self-test. The PCI Express Power Setting on the desktop is "off", so it's not a power-saving issue. Am using LABVIEW 2020, 32-bit.
Error first initiates at Device Session.lvclass > Check for Clock Fault > Read Clocking Status > devicePathFromFPGAInterface > nirio_device_attrGet32 (loading in the kRioOldestCompatibleDevice) then it's password protected.
Is this a hardware error with the MXIe port? (Which I'm assuming is built-into the 1073's?). If it's a hardware failure, I don't know what to start replacing.
Is this a driver issue as the VI "worked" for a few days after switching the RIO port? Also that the PXIe is being found with NI Max?
I do have video of the exact moment the -52018 popped up. I was using the VI fine for a few tests, then the next run it just started. Not an overnight Windows update or anything
