InstrumentStudio highlights errors and warnings in project pin map files (.pinmap).

Error and Warning Behavior

Common causes of pin map errors and warnings include the following:
  • Improperly formatted pin map files
  • Pin map settings that do not correspond to configurations in your test system
To determine the cause of the error, double-click the pin map file to open the Pin Map Editor. The dialog displays a message with specific information about the cause of the error or warning. For information on pin map errors and warnings, see the following table:
Notification Type Expected Behavior
Error Panels will not function with the selected pin map. InstrumentStudio reverts to using the default instrument and channel views. You must address the error before you can use the pin map file.
Warning You can use the pin map, but errors might occur at run time. Determine the source of the warning and make the necessary corrections with the Pin Map Editor before run time.

For detailed information on pin map files, see Pin Map File XML Structure (TSM) in the Related Information section.
