Hello Community,
My situation is the following,
We are starting to update some tester's DMMs on our production Machines. Before we were havindg PXI 4071 & 72, but we are moving to PXIe 4081 & 82, however, after setting it up, installing the drivers and configuring the IVI Logical name on NI MAX , the IVI Step from Teststand keeps showing the same Error
-----------------------------------------------------
Session Manager: niDMM_InitWithOptions returned an error: -1074134964 (0xbffa004c). Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA004C) The option string parameter cpontains an entry with an unknown option value.
-----------------------------------------------------
So I took a look at the Step Option ad tried to edit it, but I still have the same error when trying to validate the configuration, It seem that no configuration is valid for this DMM.
Could you help me out to figure out what I am missing or what I am doing wrong?
Best Regards
Testand 2013
IVI 16.0.1
DAQmx 19.0

Hi Pedro,
I happened across the same issue while trying to initialize a PXI 4070 in TestStand 2017. In my case, the Driver Setup field under the IVI Driver Session (NI MAX) for this card was incorrect. The initialization succeeded when I made this field empty (as shown).
You may have already resolved your issue, but perhaps someone will benefit from this. The error message and output from NI IO Trace was rather misleading.
