TSW1400EVM: Bug in python dll?

Part Number: TSW1400EVM

Hello,

I have a TSW1400EVM and I'm trying to perform automated measurements with it. Whenever I try to connect to the board the output of the following code (Python) is: "Error Status = 7004"

from ctypes import *
import os
import subprocess

if('PROGRAMFILES(X86)' in os.environ): #selecting the DLL path from HSDC Pro installed location based on 32 bit or 64 bit OS
    dll_path = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Texas Instruments\\High Speed Data Converter Pro\\HSDCPro Automation DLL\\64Bit DLL\\HSDCProAutomation_64Bit.dll"
else:
    dll_path = "C:\\Program Files\\Texas Instruments\\High Speed Data Converter Pro\\HSDCPro Automation DLL\\64Bit DLL\\HSDCProAutomation_64Bit.dll"
HSDC_Pro = cdll.LoadLibrary(dll_path)


TimeoutinMs = 30000
#Boardsno = 'K1227453-TSW1400' #Serial Number of board to be connected. Eg: "TIVHIV9Z" or "TIVHIV9Z-TSW1400"
Boardsno = 'K1316405-TSW1400' #TUM Board

Err_Status = HSDC_Pro.Connect_Board(Boardsno,TimeoutinMs)
print("Error Status = " + str(Err_Status))

However, if I try to connect to the board using Matlab, the connection takes place without errors, the output is "0" and the Board Number can be seen in the GUI's bottom side. The Matlab code I use is:

% Add folder into path that contains the Automation DLL
addpath(genpath('C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro\HSDCPro Automation DLL'));

% Load the Automation DLL
if ~libisloaded('HSDCProAutomation_64Bit')
    [notfound,warnings]=loadlibrary('C:/Program Files (x86)/Texas Instruments/High Speed Data Converter Pro/HSDCPro Automation DLL/64Bit DLL/HSDCProAutomation_64Bit.dll', @HSDCProAutomationHeader);
end

BoardSerialNumber = 'K1316405-TSW1400';
TimeoutInMs = 30000;

% Connecting to the board and selecting DAC device
fprintf('\n\nConnecting to board : %s',BoardSerialNumber);
[Error_Status] = calllib('HSDCProAutomation_64Bit','Connect_Board',BoardSerialNumber,TimeoutInMs);
fprintf('\nError Status = %d (%s)',Error_Status,HSDCPro_Automation_Error_to_String(Error_Status)); 

I have triple-checked, the Board Number is K1316405, no I's.

Is there a bug in the Python code?

Thank you in advance

Regards

Ricardo
