InstrumentStudio highlights errors and warnings in project pin map files (.pinmap).
Error and Warning Behavior
Common causes of pin map errors and warnings include improperly formatted pin map files, and pin map settings that do not correspond to configurations within your test system.
To determine the cause of the error,
double-click the pin map file to open the Pin Map Editor. The dialog will display a
message with specific information about the cause of the error or warning. Refer to
the following table for information on pin map errors and warnings.
| Notification Type | Expected Behavior |
|---|---|
| Error | Panels will not work using the selected pin map. InstrumentStudio reverts to using the default instrument and channel views. You must address the error before using the pin map file. |
| Warning | You can use the pin map, but errors may occur at run time. Determine the source of the warning and make the necessary corrections using the Pin Map Editor before run time. |
