The allocation error indicates we failed to allocate memory at some point during the configuration. Usually the result of malloc failing. You can see this more often when using the 32-bit version of the API since memory allocation limit is lower.
Is it possible you were passing 200Hz instead of 200kHz as the RBW, or something similar?
Are you using the 32-bit API? If yes, is it possible your own allocated memory was high enough that our API couldn’t stay within the 32-bit limitations?
That being said, its certainly possible this is a bug and a specific combination of settings produces this error code. If you can provide a simple code example that reproduces the problem including information about your OS and what API version you are using, I can try to reproduce it. I was unable to reproduce the issue just based on the information you provided.
