The following table lists possible error codes you might receive while using the ATLAS step type example and the corresponding descriptions.
| Error Code | Description |
|---|---|
| -17001 | The test program set (TPS) cannot continue execution because the NI ATLAS Step Type ActiveX server is in an unrecognized state. Unload the server from TestStand and restart the execution. |
| -17205 | The TPS cannot be executed because the PAWS Run-Time System (RTS) is in a bad state or cannot be initialized. Terminate the current instance of the PAWS RTS and run the TPS again. |
| -17208 | The specified TPS file was not found. Ensure that the file path is correctly specified so TestStand can locate the file and its directory. |
| -17401 | The TPS cannot be executed because another TPS exists and is currently running on the requested host. Only one instance of the PAWS RTS can exist on a host at any time. Wait for the currently running TPS to complete execution or terminate the execution before executing another TPS. |
| -17500 | The execution failed because the RTS reported an error. The RTS error displays as part of the error message. |
| -17501 | An unexpected error occurred. |
| -17600 | The TPS cannot be loaded because the RTS was interrupted during the load process. Check the TPS and PAWS RTS for errors and try running the TPS again. |
| -17601 | No TPS file was specified for execution. Use the Edit ATLAS Call dialog box to select a file to call before executing the step. |
