This error usually indicates the Device ID (DEVID) value is set wrong.  The ADT_L0.h file contains the definitions of Alta device codes.  For Example:

/* The DEVICE ID is a 32-bit value that identifies the following per the ADT_L0.h file:
*       bits 28-31 = Backplane Type (0 = Simulated, 1 = PCI, 2 = ETHERNET)
*       bits 20-27 = Board Type
* (0 = SIM-1553, 1 = TEST-1553, 2 = PMC-1553, 3 = PC104P-1553, etc..)
*       bits 16-19 = Board Number (0 to 15)
*       bits 8-15   = Channel Type (0x10 = 1553, 0x01 = Global)
*       bits 0-7     = Channel Number (0 to 255)
*/
#define DEVID_GLOBAL (ADT_PRODUCT_PCCD1553 | ADT_DEVID_BOARDNUM_01 | ADT_DEVID_CHANNELTYPE_GLOBALS | ADT_DEVID_CHANNELNUM_01)

 

The error 3 usually means the ADT_PRODUCT_XXXXXX is set wrong above.

You may also get error 3 if the device/card is not in the system.
