| ID | Known Issue | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 474723 Return | DST Enabled Property Node is not supported on NI Linux RT targets. Using System Configuration to set or read the DST Enabled property on a Linux RT target results in error -2147220364. This feature is not supported on NI Linux RT. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 587524 Return | NI-VISA Trigger Bus Query Property is not supported by NI System Configuration API. NI-VISA allowed users to query for the PXI Trigger Bus number using the instrument session handle but there is no similar functionality in the NI System Configuration API. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 609380 Return | NI System Configuration installer does not include header files on Linux. When installing NI System Configuration a Linux machine the System Configuration header files (i.e. nisyscfg.h) are not installed on the machine. Workaround: Contact technical support at ni.com/support for a copy of the header file.

| 610493 Return | Initialize Session VI Returns Error -2147220598 When Run From Pharlap or VxWorks Target With Non-Default Admin Password. When running the Initialize Session VI from the System Configuration palette on a Pharlap or VxWorks device, you will receive error -2147220598: "The username or password is incorrect" if the admin account does not have a blank password. Workaround: Do not set a non-blank admin password, disable LabVIEW Project Access on the device and run the Initialize Session VI from a host PC, or use an NI Linux RT device if you require a non-blank admin password.
| |||||
| 633751 Return | NI MAX System Settings page doesn't populate when all host network adapters are disabled. On any system that either has no network adapters, or has all network adapters disabled, the Systems Settings page in NI MAX for My System does not populate. Workaround: Enable a network adapter on the machine.
| |||||
| 674572 Return | On Linux RT devices, target discovery can cause the calling process to crash when a large number of NI discoverable devices are present on the network When performing network device discovery on a Linux RT target, the lvrt process can occasionally crash. Examples of discovery include a call to the Initialize Session VI, or the discovery of a network cDAQ. This will only happen in situations where a large number of devices that are discoverable by NI are present on the network. Workaround: Reduce the number of NI discoverable devices on the same network.
| |||||
| 683930 Return | The Install Startup VI will reinstall all dependencies of the Real-Time startup executable even if those dependencies are present on the target When using the System Configuration API Install VI to install a startup executable to a Real-Time system, all dependencies of the executable will be reinstalled to the target. This installation will happen even if those dependencies were previously installed on the target. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 700712 Return | NI IO Trace on Linux displays only the hex code for properties instead of the property name When using NI IO Trace on a Linux Operating System, only the hex code will display for certain properties and not corresponding the property name. Workaround: Refer to nisyscfg.h for the numeric values that correspond to each property. Note that this file may need to be requested due to CAR 609380.
| |||||
| 714415 Return | When interacting with a PharLap Real-Time device using the System Configuration API, the API will hang if the system has a network adapter set to DHCP Only that does not obtain an IP address When using a PharLap Real-Time device with System Configuration API, API calls will hang in scenarios where one of the system's Network Interfaces is set to DHCP Only mode and has not obtained an IP address. For example, this error will occur if the port is set to DHCP Only with no connected Ethernet cable. Workaround: Set the Network Interface to use DHCP or Link Local instead of DHCP Only.
