    As the error states, do you have the .vwf file in question?

    Hi @serj053

    Please check that the Waveform.vwf is added in the project.

    And the naming must be matched.

    I do not see any attached file though.

    Best Regards,

      I apologize that I could not respond earlier, the issue was not resolved, I am sending the file again (apparently I did something wrong last time).
      Sincerely Sergey.
