    I build the LV, a request using the tabs, the FPGA dll and DLLs that communicate with devices CAN, GPIB, and PCI.

    I'm still going through the example, but since the error ocours sporadicaly this could take some time to identify the error.

    I was browsing the code and I was wondering about simple things, like:

    -J' have many local variables, could it be the cause protected by some kind of error?

    -Since I use dll on my code, is there a way to make sure that all DLLs are loaded and unloaded properly?

    My program has a TAB with a simple UI of TestStand and when I change the tabs I close the user interface for teststand. When I use this UI I have load and unload DLLs of same that I use on other tabs, i. e., when you use the UI I load all DLLs that communicate with devices and when I change the tabs I unload all DLLs because on each separate TAB I can control these indicidually devices.
