NI-Digital: Execution Time When Toggling Sequence Flag in niDigital After Pattern Burst with Single Digital Group in Pin Map is Slower than Expected

The execution time of toggling a Sequence Flag using NI-Digital after bursting a Pattern is significantly longer when operating the driver session with all instruments defined as a single digital group in the Pin Map compared to when each instrument is defined with its own separate digital group in Pin Map.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

DUT pins output incorrectly when performing a scan pattern using at least 16 scan pins

When performing a scan pattern which contains at least 16 scan pins, any DUT pins in the pattern may not be properly applied.

For patterns that use at least 16 scan pins, the driver is not applying the correct data to the DUT pins during the scan cycle. The correct behavior is that the DUT pins' state at the beginning of the scan pattern shall be repeated during each scan cycle.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

NI-Digital: Loading a pin map returns an error if an instrument in the pin map does not follow NI-Digital instrument resource name rules

When niDigital_LoadPinMap() is called, it incorrectly attempts to validate the names of all instruments in the pin map according to the naming rules for NI-Digital. This can cause errors if, for instance, an NI-DAQmx instrument is named using characters such as a '/'.

Workaround:

Do not name other instruments using characters (e.g. '/') which are not recognized as valid characters for an NI-Digital resource name.

When sourcing waveforms with a site disabled, an underflow error may occur

When using a pin map with multiple sites, if one site is disabled, niDigital Burst Pattern may return error -1074118619, "The pattern sequencer overflowed source memory during a pattern burst...".

Workaround:

Use a pin map that has the disabled site entirely removed.
