Unable to generate the complete set of exported files in SigmaStudio project.

Category: Software
Product Number: Sigma Studio 4.7 Build 0, Rev 1831 4/5/2022
Software Version: 4.7 Build 0, Rev 1831 4/5/2022

Hello All!

I'm facing an issue with SigmaStudio on my main system where it doesn't generate the complete set of exported files, such as TxBuffer_IC_1.dat, in my project. Interestingly, when I try the same process on a clean virtual machine, everything works fine, and all files are generated correctly.

I suspect the issue might be related to the fact that I manually removed some Windows updates recently. However, there are no errors logged in the Windows Event Log during the export process.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Uninstalled and reinstalled SigmaStudio.

Cleaned the registry after uninstalling.

Installed SigmaStudio on a clean virtual machine where it worked perfectly.

I would like to add that I'm experiencing issues with the AD1938 and ADAU1767. However, I do not have any problems with the ADAU1452, possibly because the necessary files were generated before the operating system failure.

Could you please help me understand what might be causing this problem on my main system? Is there any additional information I can provide or any further steps I should try?

Thank you for your assistance!

  • Hello OctopusDev,

    This is very strange and certainly looks like a Windows issue but I do not know why... This may be really difficult to track down. 

    Are you using the EXACT same SigmaStudio project file to produce these two output examples?

    Each part has a DLL for the part. You will find it in the program folder for SigmaStudio. When you drag in a part out of the library in SigmaStudio it pulls in the DLL for that part. So I wonder if those files were corrupted in some way?

    I will have to ask the programmers about this one. So let me know if you are using the same exact file. Not just a copy where one could have been corrupted. Delete the one that produces an error and make a new copy from the file that does create good output. See if the problem is still there. Make sure you save the old files under a safe name in a backup folder. I do not want you to lose anything and if it points to the file then we may want to look at it. 

    Thanks,

    Dave T

  • Problem is solved. I'm reinstall Sigma Studio but don't used defoult directory. Thank you!

    Are you using the EXACT same SigmaStudio project file to produce these two output examples?

    I'm try use same project files. And try create new projects for AD1938, ADAU1767.

  • OK, Great. Thanks for writing back to let me know. 

    It must have been something with the DLL files. By installing to a new directory it would be certain to use the newest version of the files. But that is just a guess and the install to the same directory should have overwritten the files... Anyhow. Glad you got past this. 

    I figured you were using the same files but for troubleshooting I need to know exactly what you were doing so that is why I was asking. 

    Hope your project continues to move forward.
