* You start only one RadiMation and you get the message that the error message
* Only start one {{RadiMation}} program at the same time.
Check with the task manager if there are 2 RadiMat-main programs running, if so close them both and restart RadiMation.
* Close all RadiMation programs that are available in the taskbar and start RadiMation only once.
* You start 2 RadiMation instances, and after closing the first one the second one is not getting the control over the GPIB board
* Terminate or Kill all 'RADIMAT.EXE' processes in the task manager and start RadiMation only once.
This is correct functionality, during the start up there is a check to see if the board is available. If the answer is no this is remembered during the whole session.

Device Driver System is already used by another application.[edit]

It is possible to run 2 or more instances of the RadiMation software, however only one instance of RadiMation® can have control over the GPIB bus. This is due to the fact that the GPIB bus itself is not designed to be used by 2 different applications at the same time. Like for example Ethernet or USB. The first instance will take over the control of the GPIB card, the second instance will be in a view only mode. You are able to perform report generation if you have the rights, or change TSF settings.

This problem is often caused if a RadiMation® program has crashed, but still some parts of the program are running in the background.

Solution[edit]

  • Only start one RadiMation® program at the same time.
  • Close all RadiMation programs that are available in the taskbar and start RadiMation only once.
  • Terminate or Kill all 'RADIMAT.EXE' processes in the task manager and start RadiMation only once.
  • Restart the PC and then start RadiMation only once.

If 2 RadiMation® instances are started, closing the first one does not give the second instance control over the GPIB board. This is correct functionality. During the start up of RadiMation there is a check to see if the board is available. If this check is unsuccessful, it will be remembered as long as RadiMation is running. Close all RadiMation programs to make the device driver system usable again.
