When using the RTL component (using the RTL2832U device), allocating both the digitizer and the scanner at the same time causes an issue where after deallocating, the domain and IDE needs to be restarted before a new allocation can be made.

Steps I took that led to the issue:

  1. Allocate the digitizer and scanner together. The FrontEnd Tuners are now listed as 'Allocated'.
  2. When trying to plot digitizer data, an error pops up saying the allocation ID is invalid.
  3. I plotted the scanner data instead, which had no issue.
  4. After taking my data, I deallocated both FrontEnd Tuners (digitizer and scanner). Sometimes (not consistently), this gives an error saying deallocation of the digitizer failed due to invalid allocation ID, but even after this error message, both FrontEndTuners are now listed as 'Unallocated'.
  5. I tried to allocate the digitizer and scanner again, with a new frequency, but it gives me an out of range error. My first allocation had a frequency of about 100 MHz, but now I get this error unless I give a frequency of 0.00001 MHz or lower.
  6. I tried disconnecting the domain and reconnecting it to reallocate. This did not solve the issue.
  7. I tried disconnecting the domain, restarting the IDE and connecting the domain to reallocate. This did not solve the issue.
  8. I disconnected the domain, removed it from the REDHAWK Explorer, restarted the IDE, launched a new domain, connected the domain, and reallocated. This ultimately worked, but only for one allocation. After trying to deallocate and allocate again, the same issue persists.

Allocating just the digitizer seems to work fine, but when allocating the scannner, it leads to issues with the digitizer (I can't do much because of an 'Invalid Allocation ID' Error) that cannot be resolved except by recreating the domain and restarting the IDE. There seems to be an issue with the allocation of the scanner itself, and how it affects the digitizer it is linked with.
