Known Issues with NI CompactRIO Device Drivers January 2019
| ID | Known Issues |
|---|---|
| 738710 |
Intermittent invalid data on NI 9775 when sampling continuously at 4 MS/s When continuously sampling at the maximum rate (4 MS/s) on the NI 9775 in a cRIO, the module will intermittently return invalid data. Workaround: Update to CompactRIO Device Drivers June 2019 (19.1). |
| 732821 |
Compilation failure when compiling on cRIO-904x targets with greater than 5 modules With a cRIO-904x target with greater than five NI-9202 modules, LabVIEW FPGA compilation fails with the message "ERROR [Synth 8-3202] design needs 2 RAMB exceeds device capacity of 0". Workaround: Update to LabVIEW 2018 and CompactRIO Device Drivers 18.0 or higher. |
| 714320 |
WiFi-capable CompactRIO-903x models cannot connect to hidden SSID WiFi networks with hidden SSID's will not appear as available networks to WiFi-capable CompactRIO-903x targets, and cannot be found by name. If a WiFi-capable CompactRIO-903x target is connected to a network whose SSID is hidden, the CompactRIO will disconnect from the network and cannot reconnect. Workaround: Use a non-hidden SSID. |
| 707391 |
Mode switching a module from Scan Mode to FPGA/DAQmx while the module is in use can cause data corruption If a module is in use and mode-switched from Scan Mode to FPGA/DAQmx mode, it will output corrupted data during one scan before error -65536 occurs. Workaround: Ignore data from one scan before error -65536 is produced. |
| 711964 |
MAX Technical Report doesn't include nirio.ini for Linux-RT-based controllers When generating a technical report in MAX, nirio.ini is no longer included in the zipped report folder. This file contains details about the RIO Server remote machine access list. This issue only affects Linux RT targets and does not affect VxWorks or Phar Lap. Workaround: Browse to the report on the target at |
| 710783 |
Host Memory Buffers Return Crossed Data If the arrangement of Host Memory Buffers in your LabVIEW Project Explorer are not in alphabetical order, the references used by Real-Time and FPGA will not match. This can result in Real-Time and FPGA VIs accessing different regions of memory, despite using the same Memory Name. Workaround: Alphabetize the Host Memory Buffers in your LabVIEW Project Explorer. |
| 710205 |
FPGA Serial Number Enumerates As 0xFFFFFFFF For Some cRIO-905x The RIO Resource (FPGA) serial number can be seen in NI-MAX as a property of the FPGA, and can also be queried in LabVIEW using the System Configuration API. The FPGA serial number on cRIO-905x enumerates as 0xFFFFFFFF occasionally. This does not affect the controller's serial number, which returns the correct value (and matches what is printed on the label). Workaround: If using the FPGA serial number for device identification, we recommend instead querying the controller's serial number. Both can be accessed using the System Configuration API. |

Warning glyphs appear for cRIO 904x and 905x devices after uninstalling and reinstalling RSS Uninstalling and reinstalling the recommended software stack (RSS) on CompactRIO-904x and 905x targets will cause warning glyphs to appear on the controller and modules in NI MAX, which indicate "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." Workaround: Reformat the target and reinstall the recommended software stack to resolve the warnings. |
