706379

Deploying an EtherCAT master with a NI 9144 or NI 9145 slave containing C Series modules in Scan Mode would also change the corresponding C Series modules' program mode to Scan Mode on the local cRIO-904x chassis. If there was an existing FPGA application running on the cRIO-904x while deploying the EtherCAT master, the C Series' I/O Nodes would report error 65673 (if error terminals are enabled) and would hold the last reported value. 

704486

When calibrating the PXIe-7846R, either programmatically or when using the NI 78xxR Calibration Utility, the calibration would fail with the message "The device type of the chassis or FPGA target in the LabVIEW project does not match the actual type of device".

661605

User Defined Variables (UDVs) written to in a Single Cycle Timed Loop driven by a derived clock would occasionally fail to transmit data to the host. In some circumstances, this was accompanied by the error code -1 on the FPGA UDV writer node.

701809

Using SystemLink, software installation to a cRIO-904x or cRIO-905x would fail to complete. This would only happen if before attempting to install software, you first uninstalled CompactRIO Support 18.1 and declined to reboot the CompactRIO controller.

682562

The analog input channels AI0, AI1, AI2, and AI3 on the NI 9351 (Functional Safety module) would erroneously report a value of 0. This only occurred when using the Direct Access method to access the channels as opposed to the default Scanned Access.

686090

After DAQmx is installed to a cRIO target, it requests a restart of the target. If the target was restarted too quickly following installation, the MXS database would become corrupted. This error would manifest as an inability to use any DAQmx Tasks or Scales or to configure DAQ devices.

614890

When an SD card was inserted into cRIO-903x or cDAQ-913x "SD In Use" LED did not light up. The issue was purely visual and did not affect SD card operation.

699295

NI 9882 and NI 9881 modules showed a warning "System storage for this item has entered an inconsistent state. The device name displayed here may be wrong. To fix the problem, give this device a unique name".
