| 242645 | Incorrect error reporting behavior LabVIEW FPGA 2010 corrupts error reporting for NI-RFSG, and you may receive the following error message: Error information resources required by the driver could not be found on your system. Reinstall the driver or contact National Instruments Technical support. Workaround: Visit ni.com/kb and search for 5C1CGPJD for more information about how to correct error reporting behavior.

| 258290 | A protocol violation error occurs when using an NI PXIe-1075 chassis When routing triggers across segments on the NI PXIe-1075 chassis, a protocol violation error may return. The NI PXIe-1075 has three bus segments: slots 1 through 6, slots 7 through 12, and slots 13 through 18. If the devices are located in different segments, you may run into this issue. Some features, such as RF list mode or NI-TClk when used for synchronization or MIMO applications, internally route triggers. Workaround: Visit ni.com/kb and search for 5FTGSP0O for more information about working around this issue.

| 214278 | VIInt64 attributes not working on LabWindows/CVI VIInt64 attributes do not work on LabWindows/CVI 8.0 or earlier if versions of LabWindows/CVI 8.1 or later are installed prior to installing NI-RFSG. Workaround: Navigate to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI80\include and replace visatype.h with visatype.h from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI81\include or C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\CVI\Include.

| 109764 | Measurement & Automation Explorer test panel does not work when running the NI PXIe-5673/5673E Running the test panel in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on the NI 5673/5673E when it is on an real-time system results in the following error: DAQmx Error -200170 occurred: Measurements: Physical channel specified does not exist on this device. Workaround: N/A

| 150413 | Signal generates at the NI PXIe-5450 CLK OUT connector when Reference clock export is disabled First setting the Reference Clock Export Output property to Clkout or NIRFSG_ATTR_REF_CLOCK_EXPORT_OUTPUT attribute to NIRFSG_VAL_REF_OUT_STR and then changing the Reference Clock Export Output property to Do Not Export Signal or NIRFSG_ATTR_REF_CLOCK_EXPORT_OUTPUT attribute to NIRFSG_ATTR_DO_NOT_EXPORT_STR still causes a signal to generate on the CLK OUT front panel connector. Workaround: N/A

| 248779 | NI PXIe-5650/5651/5652 takes 10 ms to hit target power level when switching to the divide by 16 path When switching to the divide by 16 path (any frequency between 100 MHz to 200 MHz) on the NI PXIe-5650/5651/5652, the output power behaves oddly. If you target 0 dBm on the device, the power starts off at approximately -25 dBm, but then overshoots to 10 dBm until it finally settles at approximately 0 dBm. Workaround: N/A

| 314607 | A simulated NI PXI-5610 fails self-testing in Measurement & Automation Explorer Running self-test on a simulated NI PXI-5610 in the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) causes the following error: Error -200437 occurred at Self-Test. Possible Reason(s): External calibration constants are invalid. Workaround: N/A

| 316551 | Building LabVIEW with NI-RFSG fails When building an installer using LabVIEW with NI-RFSG included as part of the installation, the installer build fails and returns the following error: The system cannot find the path specified. When Microsoft Driver Framework (MDF) attempts to access NI-RFSG from the second volume of the stand-alone distribution, there is no setup.ini file located. MDF then searches the registry for the relative path between the root of the distribution and the Microsoft Installer Package (MSI). The problem is that the MDF does not verify that the source of the relative path is from the same distribution as the source of the root path (only that they are the same product version). It uses the first distribution it locates (alphanumerically) to get the relative path. Workaround: Visit ni.com/kb and search for 5QJ95VUS for more information about working around this issue.

Switching from Ref In to Clk In when there is no signal on Clk In for the NI PXIe-5673 causes the device to enter an unknown state. If you configure the NI PXIe-5673E to use the Ref In as the reference clock source then change the reference clock source to Clk In, a message prompts you to connect a clock source to Clk In of Arb. When you cancel the message, the following error results: Error: The AWG reported the following error: PLL could not phase-lock to the external reference clock. Make sure your reference clock is connected and that it is within the jitter and voltage specifications. Changing a parameter value clears the error message, but the device remains in an error state.
