The channel "TVRSPDIVFBDLVIHKIQMVB" is a curve signal that is referencing the channel "BOBNKYCWZQJVUAVHLDJHC" as its axis. When the value of TVRSPDIVFBDLVIHKIQMVB is changed during measurement, ETAS INCA will create an entry in the measurement for that channel, but not for the referenced channel.
This causes the channel lengths to differ (the axis has one less entry), ultimately causing the above exception when accessing the signal in most ways (e.g. get, to_dataframe, merge).
The reason for not updating the axis is that mutliple signals may in theory reference that same axis channel, which would then require updating all channels referencing that axis whenever any one of them gets an entry.
Workaround
The problem can be worked around by replacing the axis reference with a reference to an interpolated copy of the axis. But since that will modify the original measurement file, it would be preferable not to do this.
