SCXI-1127 (Rev D and earlier) continuously drives the TTL1 trigger line on the SCXI backplaneContinuously driving the TTL1 trigger line on the SCXI backplane does not allow bus sharing of TTL1 with other SCXI modules. NI-SWITCH returns an error if an SCXI-1127 is in the chassis and if TTL1 is being used for scanning. If using the NI-DAQmx driver for your SCXI system, you get a resource reservation error if you try to perform a switching or signal conditioning operation that requires use of TTL1. Workaround: There is currently no known workaround for this issue. |

There are known DLL collision issues with the Microsoft Visual Basic debugger and a National Instruments device driver using Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy)A support DLL used by NI-SWITCH fails to load if Visual Basic has already loaded another DLL into the same address space. Workaround: To change the default address that is used to load the driver DLL, create the following registry key: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-PAL\CurrentVersion\palConfig\Memory\ sharedFixedAddress where the value is a DWORD (0x44000000 generally works). For the change to take effect, you must close and restart all applications after adding the registry key. |

Test Panels in MAX do not work for NI-SWITCH devices on RTOS target systemsFor NI-SWITCH devices on a NI Linux Real-Time or PharLap target system, the Test Panel button in MAX opens Instrument Studio instead of a test panel.
Workaround: Use an example VI or a similar VI and deploy it to the target to exercise functionality instead of a test panel.
