LoadLibrary failed with error 87

If you connect to a system using a remote desktop and open the mmWave OTA Validation Configurator or the mmWave OTA Validation Visualizer, the following error occurs:

"LoadLibrary failed with error 87: The parameter is incorrect."

The error occurs because there is a Windows problem when running OpenGL hardware-accelerated programs through remote desktop (RDP) sessions.

Workaround:

  • Disable the graphic card driver if the option to disable is available.
  • For ATI E6460 (PXIe-8880)/E4690 (PXIe-8135) and Windows 10, complete either of the following options:
    • Uninstall the ATI/AMD drivers until only the Microsoft compatibility drivers are in use, as this driver does not have hardware acceleration support.
    • Rename the driver file that is responsible for the OpenGL support:
      • Navigate to C:\windows\system32
      • Rename atig6pxx.dll to atig6pxx.bak

Workaround:

  1. Run the TestStand sequence by clicking the Start button on the Execution tab in the mmWave OTA Validation Configurator.
  2. Close the mmWave OTA Validation Configurator.

The mmWave OTA Validation Test Software does not Support the German Operating System due to Driver Error

When you run the OTA examples or use the RF System Calibration Assistant, error -1074097903 occurs because the NI-RFSA/NI-RFSG drivers (19.2.1 or later) required for using the mmWave OTA Validation Test Software do not support the German operating system.
