The database file is there. Rather than spend a lot of time trying to
get this working, I'll just wait for the next release. My long term
goal is to be able to run a 5000A, a 1500 and a SoftRock-like board (or
two) all on the same system using three (or four) instances of
PowerSDR. Does that sound feasible?
Thanks,

Look in the folder you created for the 1500 and make sure there is a database

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.

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

Directory of c:\Program Files (x86)\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR

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.
