Hi TechyV community,

I'm using LabView Real-Time Module Version 2009 SP-1. Hope somebody can get me past this error that I get every time I run the get target information. I'm at the end of my rope. Any idea to help me with this would be great.

Error 1 occurred at NI_Real-Time Libraries.lvlib:

RT Get Target Information (MAC).vi:1

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: An input parameter is invalid. For example if the

input is a path, the path might contain a character not

allowed by the OS such as ? or @.

==============================

NI-488: Command requires GPIB Controller to be

Controller-In-Charge.

Hi,

The error says the RT Get Target Information (MAC).VI:1.

Therefore, according to that MAC address must be input in hexadecimal format without the semicolons.

In order to input the MAC address in hexadecimal format under the conditions mentioned above;

  • First, right click on the string input to the MAC address input.
  • A menu will appear.
  • From that, Hex Display should be selected (fourth option counting from the very bottom of the menu).
  • The MAC address can then be inserted without the semicolons.

Hence, the RT controller's information can then be accessed by its MAC address. And Hopefully, the problem is solved!
