File permission error; NI-488: DMA hardware error detected

I'm running LabVIEW 8.0 on the latest supported SUSE linux. My vi saves a data file. If I save a file named "/home/bill/LabVIEW/data/file.dat," it saves okay the first time. But then if I run the program again, it gives me an error instead of just writing over file.dat (which is what I want it to do).
Error 8 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in filename.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File permission error.
NI-488: DMA hardware error detected.
Also, I don't know if this is related, but when I click on the folder icon to the right of the file path on the front panel, and navigate to the directory mentioned above, then type "file.dat," I get the message "/home/bill/LabVIEW/data/file.dat does not exist." Shouldn't this *create* the new file?
Thanks,
Bill

You should really start your own thread describing your problem in detail. One of the issues here is that there are two possible sources for the error code 8. Which one is applicable to you? What platform are you on? What version of LV? What are you trying to accomplish? What exactly triggers the error?
Please start again with your own thread and with the answers the questions I asked (as well as anything else that you think might be of value).

  • Hi,why I have a "DMA hardware error detected" when I try to save file as *.htm for remote front panel application?

    Hi,
    I try to learn how to present my data anywhere by using labview remote front panels. I use PCI-mio-16E-4 device to acquire data. After I start web server and try to save to as *.htm file, I got the "DMA hardware error detected" message. Can anyone help me to solve the problem. Thanks.

    What was the actual error code?

    Hi Ya-hoo,
    Error building application in LabView 8.0 seems to describe a similar situation. The .alias file is important, as described in that discussion forum.

  • Error 8 occurred when building an executable due to file permission error?

    I received this error on executable builds from two different .vis.  Other .vis in the project build without incident and the message below doesn't seem to indicate the file that is causing the problem, unless it is the SPT-errors.txt file listed at the end of the error message.

    Hi DanielAllis,
    Like mentioned earlier, there is most likely an application on the internet that you can find and use where you can see what processes are calling specific files or folders to see if that specific file is being used by anything else.  It doesn't sound like this is the root of your problem, but it couldn't hurt to check.  Also, I have seen a similar problem to this with someone who was using the software Subversion and Tortoise with their application.  I am not familiar with this software in particular, but I have attached a link below that goes through the steps that this other person took to try and fix the same error when having this software on their computer.  Let me know if any of this helps!

  • Error 8 (file permission​s) when using Help:Searc​h

    Hi there,
    When I use the help system and do a search, I get the following error:
    Error 8 occurred at Open File
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW:  File permission error. You do not have the correct permissions for the file.
    =========================
    NI-488:  DMA hardware error detected.
    This is Labview 8.2 running on Linux (Enterprise RHEL4), and I had the same problem with Labview 7.1.  The problem seems to be caused by the permissions on some or all of the following files, which are written to the /tmp directory when the search is performed:
    controls2.htm 
    index2.htm 
    js_buttons.htm 
    search_results.html
    If I do a search, these files are written but not erased (with permissions -rw-r--r--).  If someone else then does a search, they get the Error 8 problem listed above.  If the owner of these files (or root) deletes them, the problem is solved -- until a different user than the owner of those temporary files wants to search the help system.
    My guess is that if I could get Labview to either open up the write permissions on these files or delete them after the help session is complete, the problem would be solved.
    Any advice?  Has anyone else had this problem (you would need a multiple-user linux system to see it)?
    Thanks,
    Tobin

  • Adobe Encore. Hardware error (Sense Code 52100).

    I tried to output a dvd and received the following error:Adobe Encore. Hardware error (Sense Code 52100). Please contact the hardware manufacturerer for more information.

    Hardware errors are usually two things... bad media (try a different brand of disc) or a bad drive

    Set your Encore DVD/BluRay output to an ISO file or to a folder on your hard drive and then use the FREE Imgburn to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

  • Web-Disk on OSX 10.9 Give me this error: "Finder got an error: Network file permission error."

    Previously I was using OSX 10.8 and Web Disk was working great.
    Since I upgraded to OSX 10.9 Web Disk Dont Attach to my compputer and give me this ERROR:
    FInder got an error: Network file permission error.
    When I got this ERROR first time I searched GOOGLE and found this link: http://cammodude.blogspot.no/
    And I did:
    To force all connections to be SMB1:
    Open A terminal window
    paste in the following line followed by the return key(should be all on one line): 
    echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf; echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf
    What the command does:
    Creates a file called nsmb.conf  in your  home directory at the path ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf.
    Adds directives to force SMB connections to use the SMB1 protocol.  This is slower but stable.
    Then I could use Web Disk on OSX 10.9 after executing this command in Terminal.
    But now I restarted my Macbook and now Im NOT able to connect to Web Disk and get the same ERROR.
    FInder got an error: Network file permission error
    After trying 100 times it attaches 1 time but then show this ERROR:
    Can't get <<class cdis>> "my.server.com/2078" of application "Finder".
    If this happen then I can see the files in Finder and see the Contents and Size of files but if I open a PHP file in BBEdit then it shows BLANK.. But actually it is NOT blank.
    Now Im stuck How can I solve this? All help is highly appericated..
    Thank you so much...

  • There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection..

    hello,
    there has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.
    this is the error my client gets sometimes when he wants to save a word document.
    when i go in the finder i have no problem accessing that network share, and when i look up the file and check the permissions there is no reason why this error should occure.
    situation :
    1 os 10.3.9 server
    7 os 10.5.5 clients
    1 os 10.3.9 client
    office 2004 for mac (version 11.50)
    there are 2 10.5.5 clients (emacs) with this problem on a regular base (3-5 times a week). One imac 17" 10.5.5 has this once a month.
    it is a wired cat5 network.
    any idea what could cause this problem?
    thanks

  • File permission error in LabVIEW, but what file?

    I am in the process of smoothing out the wrinkles in a large LabVIEW program that I've converted from LV 7.0 to LV 2011SP1.  I've also moved from WinXP to Windows 7.  I get why there are file permission errors and I understand what the issues are in regard to moving from XP to 7.  What I would really like, is for the error message to tell me WHAT file is having the issue.  There are entirely too many file accesses in this program, I am not the originator, and it's been painful.  A more explicit error message, a log file, or some other cool trick to find what file is having the issue would be super.  While I'm asking for stuff, a call stack or at least the name of the VI this code calls would be wonderful, as nothing at all calls New File directly.

    How are you currently handling the error?  The file you tried to access should be part of the string in the error cluster.

    When you post a question, it would help readers answer your questions if you mentioned the LabVIEW Version you are using, a screenshot of the error and possibly the VI that makes this error occur.

  • Network of file permission error.

    "There has been a network of file permission error. The network connection may be lost."
    This is happening only in the afternoon (after 12 noon) on someones machine with Word.
    We got him a brand new machine, deleted and recreated his user account on the server but it still happens when he re-opens and saves a document. He can only save it to his desktop and then drag it to the server.
    We used Migration assistant to transfer files. Haven't tried a new user account on his actual machine yet, but it's very strange. Others using Word are not having this problem.
    We have an Apple RAID server and a Windows server and he can't save to either one directly after about noon cst?

    I'm having the same problem with an Intel iMac. The user has a network account and has been having several strange account/permission issues like this. And we have deleted and recreated her account to no avail.
    Any luck figuring out what's going on or what the solution is?

  • CAN Test File Permission Error

    Hi Everyone,
    Could someone help me with a file permission error when calling CAN test with a different user login account that has full local admin rights.  The error is as follows:
    Labview: File permission error.  You do not have the correct permission for this file.  Please refer to attached picture for more details.
    We are using TestStand/Labview 2012, SP1 and windows 7.
    Thanks very much,

    Hi tstand,
    Are you able to run the sequence if you're logged in as the Administrator on your computer?  Also, are you able to access the LabVIEW Run Time Engine at all from this user account?  Try running a simple LabVIEW executable.  Can you call LabVIEW code modules from any other steps, or do you receive this error every time you call any LabVIEW code module?
    Thanks,

  • Error 7 file not found NI-488 nonexistent GPIB interface

    I'm trying to use an accelerometers with cRIO through NI 9234. I'm using an Fpga example which I modified according to my characteristics. Till here, everything is OK, nevertheless when I open the Fpga vi file and I run it compilation is not finished and it si returned the next message:
    Error 7 occurred at NI_LVConfig.lvlib:Load.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW:  File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS X, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.

    Are you using any filepaths in your application?  Does the VI have any subVI's?  The error you are getting is triggered by a reference to a filepath.  Does your application call a file at any point?  You need to make sure that all of the filepaths your application is referencing are in fact the correct location for these files.
    Also, you may need to check your Open FPGA Reference VI, which loads a bitfile.  Usually, this bitfile relies in the same directory as your LabVIEW Project.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Error 8 - File permission error

    Dear Sir,
    I'm trying to run a Labview file that is complied to read thermo couples and mass flow controlers. However it gives the follwing error.
    "Error 8 occured at new files. LABVIEW file permission error."
    Please see the attached PDF
    The file was initially run in a computer with LABVIEW 8.6 and in it it works properly. But I'm now trying to open it in another computer which has LABVIEW 2010 installed. Please the atttached ZIP file taken directly from heirachical order. addres of the file is,
    Madura\MFC3_thermocouple Folder\D\Nur\rover\MFC3_thermocouple

    Does the machine that is using LabVIEW 8.6 use Windows XP or Windows 7?
    The reason I ask is that the new machine looks like it has Windows 7. I have seen it where on Windows 7 you think you are an admin (because it says so), but being an admin isn't really the same thing as being a real, "super" admin. I've run into this on other computers, where Windows prevented me from doing all kinds of things with files (like editing, moving) because I was not an administrator even though it said I was...
    I don't have Windows 7 on this machine, so I'm not sure exactly how to fix it, but I have run into this on other machines. After you make sure the account you are using has admin rights on Windows 7, maybe try Googling something like "Windows 7 not admin" or something similar.

  • Network file permission error and Log???  Need help...

    Hi everyone!
    Based on what I learned here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1760312&#1760312
    I have a log in my script like this:
    set log_path to (startup disk as string) & "Applications:My Folder:My Log"
    set the_date to (current date) as string
    set logfilecontent to (open for access file log_path with write permission)
    try
    write the_date & return & "Here's my Log:" & return & "item1" & return to logfilecontent starting at eof
    on error
    close access logfilecontent
    end try
    close access logfilecontent
    It has always worked but this is part of an app. I just realized that this will work on my admin login but not on a regular login (I mean logging into the computer). And if I change the owner/group of the app sometimes it will change if I can do it either on an admin login or standard. I often get a Network file permission error and it gets stuck. I know it's something to do with permissions, but maybe I don't fully understand still? I need it so it will work on admin or standard login without that error. In that same link above a user mentions he had the same problem. So there's something I'm just not getting??? And I know it's here with the Log because I took it out and no problem. Hope you guys can help out???
    Thanks in advance,
    Reg

    If the log already exists on the hard disk, you may not be able to write to it from a non-admin account, and you may want to avoid writing to the Applications folder. You can provide an empty log in the expected place which allows all accounts to write to it, but the permissions may be lost when the application is installed.
    Alternative options include creating different logs for each account:
    set log_path to (startup disk as string) & "Applications:My Folder:" & (do shell script "whoami") & "'s Log"
    or writing the log to the account's home folder:
    set log_path to (path to home folder as string) & "Library:Preferences:My Folder:My Log"
