After deploying a Veristand system definition containing XNET if the controller is reformatted but the system definition is unchanged subsequent deployments will fail with an error similar to "NI VeriStand: The specified Device Driver VI was not found at the following path: C:\ni-rt\NIVeriStand\XNET\NI-XNET.llb\NI-XNET.vi"

Workaround: Change the system definition such that it needs to be saved. Save and re-deploy the system definition.

Recursive call of nivsseq can cause Stimulus Prifle Editor to crash
If a nivsseq refereneces itself it can cause the Stimulus Profile Editor to crash when it is opened.

Workaround: Open the XML of the nivsseq and delete the recursive reference

Undeploying a project immediately after deployment can cause hang
If you attempt to undeploy a project immediately after deploying it Veristand can hang.

Workaround: Delay between deployment and undeployment

Return
Interacting with Veristand while instrumented through the API can cause Veristand to hang
Using the mouse or keyboard to interact with Veristand while it is being instrument through external API code can cause Veristand to hang.

Workaround: Don't use mouse or keyboard to interact with Veristand while its operation is being instrumented through external API code

Veristand cannot built model from LabVIEW if VI contains static reference to a shared variable
Veristand cannot built model from LabVIEW if VI contains static reference to a shared variable. Error 1003 will be displayed.

Workaround: Use programmatic access for shared variables

Return
Real-time sequence expressions might produce incorrect results
Real-time sequence expressions might produce incorrect results if they use the same variable on both the left-hand and right-hand sides of an equation in which the right-hand side also contains other compound operations. o Example: x = x + sin(y * 100). This example might apply the result of sin(y * 100) to the variable x before adding x to sin(y * 100). This would cause the result of the expression to be 2 * sin(y * 100).

Workaround: Install VeriStand 2011 f1 or Veristand 2011 SP1 f1 Patch

Return
FPGA and DAQ devices don't slave to RTSI 0 when timing and sync device is specified as timing master
If you have a timing and sync device in the system definition and you specify it as the timing master on the chassis page it is expected to export a clock on RTSI0. In the FPGA template the boolean "use external timing" is set to true on FPGA devices when they are supposed to listen to RTSI0 for a sample clock. This works unless a timing and sync device is set as the chassis master. Then, this bool does not get set true. So the FPGA devices run free and unsychronized to the timing and sync device For DAQ devices, if a timing and sync device is set as the master, they will throw an error at start up (-200714) indicating they failed to transfer data to the host.

Workaround: FPGA: Hard code your FPGA to listen to RTSI triggers (always be slaves to RTSI) by ignoring the "use external timing" bool and use a constant instead. DAQ: No work around

Return
XNET Bus Monitor uses the wrong network adapter if there are multiple adapters on a machine
When using a development computer with multiple network interface cards it's possible that the VeriStand XNET Bus Monitor will listen on the wrong network adapter.

Workaround: Disable the network interface card that is not used with NI VeriStand.

NI VeriStand Experiences a Significant Delay When Loading under a Network Connection without Internet Access
You may experience a significant delay when loading NI VeriStand, Stimulus Profile Editor or System Explorer under certain network configurations. This behavior is due to our .NET authenticode-signed assemblies. Verification of these assemblies requires connecting to the network to download the trusted certificate.

Workaround: NI VeriStand.exe, Stimulus Profile Editor.exe and System Explorer.exe may be configured to ignore downloading the authenticode certificate. Place the following three files in the same directory as the NI VeriStand.exe. You will be prompted to replace the Stimulus Profile Editor.exe.config file - select Yes to replace the file.

Return
Excluded/included frames do not save for Data Replay files
Adding excluded or included frames to a Data Replay File does not work correctly when using the Veristand UI. Frames can be selected but do not persist after saving the system definition.

Workaround: Use the .NET API to set up the System Definition to exclude frames
