MAIN BOARD ERRORS:

-4000

A board type could not be detected at the given base address.

Check the DIP Switch base address setting for the DIO board. Make certain the board is configured with that base address specified and that this does not conflict with any other board’s base address. Change the base address to resolve conflicts. See the appropriate hardware user guide for the specified board DIP Switch setting.

If the board is installed in a GTXI chassis, then check that the specified base address is enabled (using GTXI.CFG). Check that the carrier board DIP Switch is set correctly.

-4001

This function requires a Master board handle.

The function was called with a Slave handle instead of a Master handle. See the Function Reference section in the Software User Guide and Function Reference to find out which functions apply to a Master and which to a Slave.

-4002

Invalid attempt to initialize a Master board as a Slave.

A Master board cannot be initialized or used as a Slave. Check the base address and the DIP Switch settings of the DIO board.

-4003

A specified Slave cannot be associated with the specified Master handle.

Check the Slave board number. Call the “DioSetupinitialization” function to add a missing Slave to the DIO domain, or use the Configuration panel in the GTDio Panel in order to add a Slave board.

-4004

The write/read command tries to access memory past its configured depth.

Attempts to write/read to DIO Data or Control Memory beyond the available physical memory. This error is trapped before invalid data is stored or retrieved. Check the code. Add memory to DIO boards as needed.

-4005

Incompatible memory size.

The DIO board could not be initialized since it contains different SIMM densities. SIMMs of different capacity (density) cannot be mixed on a board. SIMMs can be different for each board.

-4006

Bank 0 is not installed.

Memory Bank 0 could not be detected on the DIO board. Any DIO board must have bank (0) installed.

-4007

Make sure the Program Counter specifies an address within the range of physical memory. Add additional memory as required.

-4008

Control Memory is not installed.

Control Memory must be installed for DIO to operate.

-4009

I/O board direction is invalid.

Set the DIO direction to “input” before calling the “GetIOPins” function.

-4010

The Program Counter value does not reside on 32-bit boundaries.

Check the following:

If the width is 32 bits, then the Program Counter value modulo 2 must be zero.

If the width is 16 bits, then the Program Counter value modulo 4 must be zero.

If the width is 8 bits, then the Program Counter value modulo 8 must be zero.

-4011

Mismatching board types are not allowed.

Adding a Slave to a Master in another DIO family is not allowed.
