When running one of the example Universal Library programs, the error message "Error 41: This function cannot be used with this board" appears.

This indicates that a function is being called which is not supported by the type of board specified. This error often occurs when the board number defined does not correspond to the board that you wish to use.

For example, when Instacal is installed, the default is for a virtual board called the "Demo Board" to be assigned to board 0. The example Universal Library programs contain the line BoardNumber%=0 or similar, which sets the value of the Board Number used by the functions. This line should be edited to contain the Board Number of your hardware. To find the Board Number of your hardware open Instacal, where the boards are listed with the board number assigned by Instacal.

For example, in the list below, the PCI-DAS6035 card has Board Number 1.
