This issue shows when starting a VI to use the WDSS, he would get the following error notification.

“Error 1097 occurred at Call Library Function Node in BlueIO_SearchForDevices.vi -> BlueIO_Setup.vi -> WDSS Data Collection.vi.”

In the above path the WDSS Data Collection.vi is the Vernier sample VI to test out a WDSS. If this error appears press “Continue”. The VI will resume and run correctly.

It turns out that the BlueIO_SearchForDevices.vi is throwing the 1097 warning at a very low level in the dll. Vernier Software & Technology will not be able to fix it until a future release of the dll. As of 7/17/12 The following is the recommended work around if you cannot tolerate the 1097 error.

* Open the VI and go to the File menu and select VI Properties.
* A dialog box will open. Select Execution from the pull down menu.
* Uncheck the box “Enable automatic error handling”
* Close the dialog box and save the VI.

This VI was set to this state in the download, which is in LabVIEW 2009. Unfortunately LabVIEW restores the default check mark in this box when it updates the VI to a later version.
