Error Codes
The following error codes could occur when a driver function has been called. Please check carefully the allowed setup for the register and
change the settings to run the program.
error name value (hex) value (dec.) error description
ERR_OK 0h 0 Execution OK, no error.
ERR_INIT 1h 1 The board number is not in the range of 0 to 15. When initialisation is executed: the board number is yet
initialised, the old definition will be used.
ERR_NR 2h 2 The board is not initialised yet. Use the function SpcInitPCIBoards first. If using ISA boards the function SpcI-
nitBoard must be called first.
ERR_TYP 3h 3 Initialisation only: The type of board is unknown. This is a critical error. Please check whether the board is
correctly plug in the slot and whether you have the latest driver version.
ERR_FNCNOTSUPPORTED 4h 4 This function is not supported by the hardware version.
ERR_BRDREMAP 5h 5 The board index remap table in the registry is wrong. Either delete this table or check it craefully for double
values.
ERR_KERNELVERSION 6h 6 The version of the kernel driver is not matching the version of the DLL. Please do a complete reinstallation of
the hardware driver. This error normally only occurs if someone copies the dll manually to the system direc-
tory.
ERR_HWDRVVERSION 7h 7 The hardware needs a newer driver version to run properly. Please install the driver that was delivered toge-
ther with the board.
ERR_LASTERR 10h 16 Old Error waiting to be read. Please read the full error information before proceeding. The driver is locked
until the error information has been read.
ERR_ABORT 20h 32 Abort of wait function. This return value just tells that the function has been aborted from another thread.
ERR_BOARDLOCKED 30h 48 Access to the driver already locked by another program. Stop the other program before starting this one.
Only one program can access the driver at the time.
ERR_REG 100h 256 The register is not valid for this type of board.
ERR_VALUE 101h 257 The value for this register is not in a valid range. The allowed values and ranges are listed in the board spe-
cific documentation.
ERR_FEATURE 102h 258 Feature (option) is not installed on this board. It’s not possible to access this feature if it’s not installed.
ERR_SEQUENCE 103h 259 Channel sequence is not allowed.
ERR_READABORT 104h 260 Data read is not allowed after aborting the data acquisition.
ERR_NOACCESS 105h 261 Access to this register denied. No access for user allowed.
ERR_POWERDOWN 106h 262 Not allowed if powerdown mode is activated.
ERR_TIMEOUT 107h 263 A timeout occured while waiting for an interrupt. Why this happens depends on the application. Please
check whether the timeout value is programmed too small.
ERR_CHANNEL 110h 272 The channel number may not be accessed on the board: Either it is not a valid channel number or the chan-
nel is not accessible due to the actual setup (e.g. Only channel 0 is accessible in interlace mode)
ERR_RUNNING 120h 288 The board is still running, this function is not available now or this register is not accessible now.
ERR_ADJUST 130h 304 Automatic adjustion has reported an error. Please check the boards inputs.
ERR_NOPCI 200h 512 No PCI BIOS is found on the system.
ERR_PCIVERSION 201h 513 The PCI bus has the wrong version. SPECTRUM PCI boards require PCI revision 2.1 or higher.
ERR_PCINOBOARDS 202h 514 No SPECTRUM PCI boards found. If you have a PCI board in your system please check whether it is cor-
rectly plug into the slot connector and whether you have the latest driver version.
ERR_PCICHECKSUM 203h 515 The checksum of the board information has failed. This could be a critical hardware failure. Restart the
system and check the connection of the board in the slot.
ERR_DMALOCKED 204h 516 DMA buffer not available now.
ERR_MEMALLOC 205h 517 Internal memory allocation failed. Please restart the system and be sure that there is enough free memory.
ERR_FIFOBUFOVERRUN 300h 768 Driver buffer overrun in FIFO mode. The hardware and the driver have been fast enough but the application
software didn’t manage to transfer the buffers in time.
ERR_FIFOHWOVERRUN 301h 769 Hardware buffer overrun in FIFO mode. The hardware transfer and the driver has not been fast enough.
Please check the system for bottlenecks and make sure that the driver thread has enough time to transfer
data.
ERR_FIFOFINISHED 302h 770 FIFO transfer has been finished, programmed number of buffers has been transferred.
ERR_FIFOSETUP 309h 777 FIFO setup not possible, transfer rate to high (max 250 MB/s).
ERR_TIMESTAMP_SYNC 310h 784 Synchronisation to external timestamp reference clock failed. At initialisation is checked wether there is a
clock edge present at the input.
ERR_STARHUB 320h 800 The autorouting function of the star-hub initialisation has failed. Please check whether all cables are mounted
correctly.
