Error -70072 with NI-Motion Controllers

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-Motion/FlexMotion
Primary Software Version: 4.5
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Motion Control>>Controllers

Problem:
When using my motion controller to generate an analog output with Load DAC.flx, I receive Error -70072: The Flexmotion controller is in power up reset state. Please execute the Clear Power Up Status function or VI before sending any commands to the controller. How do I correct this error?

Solution:
Before calling Load DAC.flx in a VI, call Clear Power Up Status.flx, as the error message suggests. Next, programmatically reinitialize the motion controller by calling Initialize Controller.flx.  Load DAC.flx should now be able to be executed without populating the error message. 




See Developer Zone Example: Analog Output from Motion Controller with Clear Power Up Status for an example.
