| 349731 Return | 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
| |||||
| 360521 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.

| |||||
| 383092 Return | Streaming a large number of waveform graphs can cause VeriStand gateway to stop responding Streaming a large number of waveforms to the waveform graph can cause the VeriStand gateway to be overwhelmed and stop responding in a timely fashion.

| |||||
| 386381 Return | The Pulse Measurement task may return incorrect data In certain configurations where the signal is disconnected or has a 0/100% duty cycle, the Pulse Measurement task may report invalid readings. The returned reading of the disconnected signal will be the last non 0/100% duty cycle processed by your device. Workaround: Install NI DAQmx 9.7 drivers
| |||||
| 387298 Return | VISA Error -1073807192 thrown on launching Hardware Discovery Wizard for target with Reflective Memory VISA Error -1073807192 is thrown on launching Hardware Discovery Wizard for target with Reflective Memory Workaround: In MAX, go to the Software section for the target. Browse to NI Visa and select the VISA options tab on that page. Add the IP of the host PC to the Remote Access List.
| |||||
| 392092 Return | Error -200452 occurs when a 433x device uses hardware timed single point If a 433x device is set as the master or if there is only a 433x device in a system definition, using hardware timed single point will cause error -200452 to occur during deployment. Workaround: Use at least one other device in the system definition
| |||||
| 402293 Return | Model files imported to VeriStand with vector channels appear as Nx1 rather than 1xN Model files imported to VeriStand with vector channels appear as Nx1 rather than 1xN making it impossible to map to the channel correctly.
