Look in the folder you created for the 1500 and make sure there is a database there. If not, then the runtime command didn't process properly.
I also have an another suggestion. Hold off on running multiple radios until the next beta release of PowerSDR 2.0.x comes out. It has a brand new feature called the Radio Chooser and it automatically builds a small database of the radios you have attached to the PC by model and serial number. When you select a particular radio, it creates a unique database for that specific radio. It makes using multiple radios sooooooooooo much easier. This new feature essentially obsoletes the "-datapath" runtime feature. Oh yeah, one caveat with either the new radio chooser or the -datapath. You can only run a combination of one Firewire based radio and either a FLEX-1500 or a SDR-1000. Running multiple FLEX-1500s or Firewire based SDRs (FLEX-5000 / FLEX-3000) is not supported. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Clay W7CE Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 8:25 PM To: Flexedge Subject: [FlexEdge] PowerSDR 2.0.8 Error Running 1500 on my 5000A Computer with -datapath option I've been running a 1500 on my laptop (WinXP,SP3) and a 5000A on my desktop (Win7 Ultimate, 64-bit), both using PowerSDR 2.0.8. I decided to try and get them both running on the desktop computer. I followed the instructions in KnowledgeBase Article 50469 and created a 2nd shortcut on the desktop for the 1500. I modified the Target Field in the shortcut properties as follows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR v2.0.8\PowerSDR.exe" -datapath:"%appdata%\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR v2.0.8\FLEX-1500" ** When I started it, it ran the one-time optimization. The Radio Model dialog box was next. It was already checked for the 1500, so I hit next. And finally I hit Finish. Next comes a Driver Error dialog box "Error opening radio driver." I hit ok and PowerSDR starts up. From the Setup Menu, I select Windows WASAPI and Flex-1500 for the Input/Output. Hit Apply and then OK, but now the Start button doesn't seem to work. So I closed PowerSDR and reopened it. Next there is a dialog box with the following: "Could not load file or assembly 'wdapi_dotnet1011, Version=10.1.10, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. . . . " I checked to see if the dll exists and found it in the following locations: Directory of c:\Program Files (x86)\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR v2.0.8\1500 Driver32 07/02/2010 03:02 PM 149,560 wdapi1011.dll 07/02/2010 03:02 PM 74,808 wdapi_dotnet1011.dll 2 File(s) 224,368 bytes Directory of c:\Program Files (x86)\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR v2.0.8\1500 Driver64 07/02/2010 03:02 PM 116,792 wdapi1011.dll 07/02/2010 03:02 PM 74,808 wdapi_dotnet1011.dll 2 File(s) 191,600 bytes Any ideas how to get the 1500 to co-exist with the 5000A on my desktop computer? I plan to run both radios simutaneously. BTW, when I first plugged the 1500 into my computer, it found the drivers ok and indicated that I was good to go. Also, during the above exercise, the 5000A was powered off. 73, Clay W7CE _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
