Occasional error if the SFP's control is stolen back by the main application and the main application immediately does a Read shortly afterwardsIf the SFP is in control, and the original main application steals control back, the main application may return an error if it makes a call to Read shortly afterwards. The error will return a code of -1074117751 with the description "The measurement status returned by the hardware was not valid. Try decreasing the acquisition rate or the acquisition size. Alternatively, you may try upgrading your system's performance by increasing the processor speed, memory, or both." This problem only applies to real devices and not simulated devices. Workaround: Instead of stealing control back, set the SFP back into "Monitor" mode first. Then choose to apply the settings instead of reverting to keep changes made. This should prevent the error from occurring and performs the same actions as stealing control. |

Windows power management modes terminate any NI-DMM operation in progressWindows power management modes, such as sleep, standby, and hibernate terminate any NI-DMM operation in progress. Notice that in Windows 7/Vista or on a laptop computer, the default power management settings are likely to enable sleep mode. Workaround: NI recommends that you disable Windows power management modes, such as sleep, standby, and hibernate. |

The PCI/PXI-4070 in Traditional DAQ (Legacy) always passes test in MAX regardless of the device conditionIn MAX under the Configuring Device window for the PCI/PXI-4070 in Traditional DAQ (Legacy), Test Resources always indicates the device has passed the test regardless of the device's condition. Workaround: Do not use MAX to test the PCI/PXI-4070. |

The PCI/PXI-4065/4070/4071/4072 cannot be programmed with NI-DAQThe PCI/PXI-4065/4070/4071/4072 cannot be programmed with NI-DAQ. NI-DAQ function calls and DAQ virtual channels are not supported by the PCI/PXI-4065/4070/4071/4072. Using NI-DAQ with the PCI/PXI-4065/4070/4071/4072 can cause an error that requires a system reboot. Workaround: Use NI-DMM to program the PCI/PXI-4065/4070/4071/4072. |

Replacing the PCI/PXI-4060 with the PCI/PXI-4065 or PCI/PXI-4070/4071/4072 in an application that uses triggeringThe PCI/PXI-4060 configured as an SCXI controller automatically sets the Measurement Complete (MC) destination to the location where SCXI is configured (external or internal PXI/SCXI trigger lines). However, the PCI/PXI-4065 and PCI/PXI-4070/4071/4072 configured as an SCXI controller automatically sets the MC destination to NONE. Workaround: If your application relies on the routing behavior of the PCI/PXI-4060 by not explicitly calling niDMM Configure Measurement Complete Destination, you must modify your application by calling the VI/function. Alternately, the PCI/PXI-4065 and PCI/PXI-4070/4071/4072 can emulate PCI/PXI-4060 routing behavior by specifying the following registry key: |

When setup.exe is run from a CD, a prompt asks if you want to always trust software from National InstrumentsWhen you run setup.exe to install the software from the CD, you are prompted to choose whether you want to always trust software from National Instruments. If you do not select this option, your installation may be interrupted by one or more Microsoft Windows security dialog boxes. Workaround: If you run the installer in silent mode from the command line, you will not receive this prompt, and the installer will automatically install NI's Software Publisher Certificate to the your Windows Trusted Publisher Store. If you do not want to make this change to your Windows Trusted Publisher Store, do not choose this installation method. |

Topic not locating in table of contentsWhen linking to a topic in the NI Digital Multimeters Help from the context help or opening the help file from a VI within LabVIEW, the NI Digital Multimeters Help launches and the relevant topic displays, but the location of the topic might not be highlighted in the table of contents. Workaround: A topic must be manually located within the table of contents when linking to a topic in the NI Digital Multimeters Help from the LabVIEW context help or opening the help file from a VI within LabVIEW. |

No device names appear when initializing a session with NI-DMM on LinuxRTWhen selecting a resource name with niDMM Initialize.vi or niDMM Initialize With Options.vi in LabVIEW on an NI Linux Real-Time target, the drop-down menu for selecting resources appears empty and you cannot select a device that is in your system. Workaround: Manually enter the resource name for the device you want to use. Use MAX or NI System Configuration software to retrieve the resource name for any devices in the system.
