Solution
The nican.h file lists -1074388990/ 0xBFF62002 (in NI-CAN 1.6 or later) as a driver specific error. This error indicates that there has been an internal error at the driver level.
First make sure that you are not using any CAN Objects or unsupported Frame API Functions, as described in this document:
Which NI-CAN Frame API Functions does the NI USB-847x Device Support?If you need to use a channel database or the Channel API you can use the CAN Frame to Channel Conversion Library.
If you are not using any of these elements, you might have a problem with the card or the installation of the driver.
- Perform a self-test on the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX). Ensure that the device is properly connected to the computer, disconnect and then reconnect the device.
- Determine if the error code occurs in other VIs. Run an example program (Help>>Find Examples), or write a simple piece of code to reproduce the problem.
- Install the Latest NI-CAN device driver and put your card in a different PCI slot this time. Run the NI MAX Self Test, before you run the code again.
- If you still see the problem, search your computer for the NicanErr.txt file. This file helps the NI Support to determine the root cause of your problem. Normally you can find the file in your <National Instruments>\NI-CAN\bin folder. Then, call National Instruments for technical support.
