| |||||
| 48016 3P7CBB4Q Return | Unsigned int32 loses value in formula node when you write to the most significant bit If you wire a hex value greater than x7FFFFFFF as an unsigned, 32-bit integer to a Formula Node, LabVIEW coerces the value to 0. If you use a negative number for U32 input/output variable, LabVIEW will coerce the value to 0. Workaround: 1. Use the Mathscript node or LabVIEW code for the operation that involves an unsigned, 32-bit integer.2. Use signed 32-bit integers instead of unsigned 32-bit integers in the formula node.
| |||||
| 50420 44CG88SN Return | Update the Pulse Transition Measurement Express VI The terminology and measurement definitions for the Transition Measurements VI comply with IEEE Standard 181-2003, IEEE Standard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms. However, the Timing and Transition Measurements Express VI does not comply with this IEEE Standard. Workaround: The Slew rate refers to the transition slope. The Preshoot refers to the pre-transition undershoot (rising pulse) or the pre-transition overshoot (falling pulse). The Overshoot refers to the post-transition undershoot (rising pulse) or the post-transition overshoot (falling pulse).
| |||||
| 51185 47FGSQCS Return | Cannot save VI as the same name as missing library member VI If a library contains a VI and the VI is missing, you should be able to save a VI as the same name as the missing VI in order to rebuild the missing VI. Currently, LabVIEW does not allow this. Workaround: Delete the item from the library, save the new VI as the same name as the missing VI and then move the VI into the library.
| |||||
| 51311 477DKPBQ Return | LabVIEW does not maintain child-only item setting when dragging an item within a tree If you have a tree item with the child-only setting, and then drag it within the tree, LabVIEW loses the child-only setting. Workaround: Use tree events to (1) get the child-only flag setting when the user begins a drag, and (2) reset the child-only flag after completing a drop.
| |||||
| 52027 4A4GRP00 Return | Cannot use the 'New>>VI for Override...' dialog to create override of password-protected VI unless you have the password You use the 'New>>VI for Override...' dialog to override an ancestor VI in a LabVIEW class if the VI you want to override is password-protected. Workaround: Make a public VI which wraps the functionality of the private VI, and instruct others to override the public VI.
| |||||
| 52263 4AJA41TQ Return | Some operations on integer waveforms lose dt value Some functions, such as Absolute Value and Logarithm Base 10 operate as you expect with DBL Waveforms, but when you apply the same functions to an I16 waveform, for example, the Absolute Value function works as you expect while the Logarithm Base 10 function loses the sampling interval dt value. LabVIEW resets the sampling interval dt value to 1.00. If the input waveform to the log function has a time stamp for t0, that value is also lost. Workaround: Extract the Y-array of the waveform and perform the needed operations on Y before re-building the waveform.
| |||||
| 52297 4AIFC0R0 Return | Internal error related to locked tab control at fpsane.cpp line 369 and line 367. If you lock a tab control that is already locked using Group»Lock, you might see two internal errors and LabVIEW may crash.

| |||||
| 91672 477M7K00 Return | Large amounts of data in combo box can appear to hang LabVIEW. If you place a large amount of data in a combo box, on the order of megabytes, LabVIEW appears to hang by taking a long time to calculate wrapping. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 36543 4039KEG8 Return | Edit-time crashes when many modules, drivers, and toolkits are installed Edit-time crashes during various operations (right-click menu selection, VI save, moving a VI from one block diagram to another, building an application [executable], shared library, or source distribution, etc.) can result from LabVIEW's image table overflowing from large amounts of palette icons being loaded in memory due to many installed modules, drivers, and toolkits. In this scenario, may receive LabVIEW error log files reporting "You filled the image table" in image.cpp. Workaround: In Tools->Options->Controls/Functions Palettes, change the Palette Loading from "Load palettes in background" (default behavior) to "Load palettes when needed" and restart LabVIEW. This workaround does not work if you: 1. Perform a palette search. 2. Click "place me on diagram/front panel" from the LabVIEW Help.
| |||||
| 43109 4FRF0826 Return | Cannot customize plot legend with background image in LabVIEW You cannot configure a plot legend with a custom background image in LabVIEW. Workaround: Make the color of the plot legend transparent, and place the image behind it. This only works if your plot legend remains a fixed size in a fixed location.
| |||||
| 45133 4I0976O4 Return | The coercion of an enum through its digital display behaves differently in the development environment than in a LabVIEW executable. The coercion of an enum through its digital display behaves differently in the development environment than in a LabVIEW executable. Neither produce an out of range value, but one coerces to the last entry in the enum, the other leaves the enum unchanged. Workaround: Use an event structure to capture value change filter events and restore the enum to the value you choose. You can also disable the digital display for the enum.
| |||||
| 105509 Return | The "do not save automatic changes" setting does not affect libraries The "do not save automatic changes" options setting does not affect any type of library, including classes. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 117209 Return | Bundle by Name does not break VI when fields from the input cluster's typedef are deleted Workaround: Change the data type (numeric to string, string to numeric) of the cluster element to be deleted to force breakage at all references to that member. Repair the broken VIs and then remove the cluster element. Or you can delete the cluster element, save (keeping the control open), then mass compile.
| |||||
| 97181 Return | On a Mac, a VI that writes waveform data to a chart on the Web Server crashes the Web browser when accessed from a PC When posting a VI that writes waveform data to a chart inside a loop on the Web Server for remote front panels on a Mac, accessing the remote front panel from a PC may crash the Web browser. Workaround: Use graphs instead of charts. If chart functionality is necessary, you can programmatically create a history of data that gets plotted to the graph on each plot.
| |||||
| 118949 Return | Tab control local variables generate value change events when you use a multi-column ListBox A value change event is generated when a Tab Control local variable's value is changed in an Event Structure that was triggered by a double-click/ value Change on a multi-column ListBox. Workaround: Use Value Property Node for the Tab Control instead of Local Variable to change the Tabs.
| |||||
| 45802 4IDA53I0 Return | Using VI Server Get/Set [Variant] Control Values on Clusters with Fixed Size Arrays creates error 2 The VI Server get/set [variant] control values if used on a cluster with fixed sze arays, results in an error. This is expected as LabVIEW core does not support fixed size arrays. Fixed size arrays are meant to be used only with LabVIEW FPGA. Workaround: Pull the array outside the cluster for running on the development computer.
| |||||
| 118106 Return | Variant To Flattened String and Flattened String To Variant Do Not Support Fixed Point Data Type The Fixed Point data type is not supported by the Variant To Flattened String and Flattened String to Variant functions.

| |||||
| 119444 Return | Multi-column listbox format lost on upgrade A Multicolumn listbox created in LV 7.1 may lose its format when opened in LV 8.5 or later. Column headers lose their 3D appearance and font formatting might be lost. Workaround: Replace the Listbox and recreate all customizations
| |||||
| 120686 Return | Write to LabVIEW Measurement Files (LVM) using Express VIs takes up a lot of memory The "Write to Measurement File" Express VI consumes a large amount of memory when writing to a Text File (LVM). However, the memory usage is smaller when the same Express VI is used to write a TDM/TDMS File Workaround: Use general LabVIEW VIs (and not Express VIs) to perform an LVM write for large amounts of data. The other option would be to write in smaller chunks.
| |||||
| 122057 Return | Joining Numbers of Different Widths Produce Unexpected Values The Join Number VI produces different results when the inputs are of different widths/sizes. Workaround: Explicitly cast to same size before joining.
| |||||
| 123313 Return | Unnecessary IAK file checked into source code control When NI-FieldPoint is installed, and source code control is configured for LabVIEW, when you check in projects to source control the source code provider attempts to check in an IAK file for the project, even if one does not exist.

| |||||
| 43671 4GID11F2 Return | Opening VI Properties Window takes a long time When I try to open the VI properites window of a VI it takes a very long time to open. This can occur when you are using a network shared printer (as printer default), and that printer is offline. Workaround: Set default printer to "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" for example.
| |||||
| 51179 47B12U5U Return | Error 6 occurred at Create Folder in Create Directory Recursive.vi when building an application (EXE), shared library (DLL), source distribution or web service When building a Build Specification, the build process fails with Error 6 at Create Folder in Create Directory Recursive.vi. This usually happens if the path one of the files generated by the build (temporarily during the build process or as part of the output) is too long. The operating system requires paths for files to be less than 255 characters. Workaround: 1. Use a shorter path for your build destination (i.e. c:\build\) and if necessary copy the output to the final location you need.2. A. For application (EXE) and shared library (DLL) build specifications, place a checkmark in the Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout checkbox on the Advanced page of the Properties dialog box.2. B. For source distribution or web service build specifications, uncheck the Preserve disk hierarchy checkbox on the problem Destination on the Destinations page of the Properties dialog box.
| |||||
| 45360 4I0EE2BQ Return | Localization Codes do not Function for Timestamp Controls According to the help, localization codes are available for format strings.

| |||||
| 138552 Return | Load VRML File.vi missing "error in" terminal In LabVIEW 8.6, the "error in" terminal was removed from the Load VRML File.vi. LabVIEW 8.2/8.5 has this terminal. Thus, if a VI that has the Load VRML File VI is upgraded to 8.6, the previously working VI will be broken. Workaround: Place a case structure around the Load VRML File VI to handle the error manually.
| |||||
| 119204 Return | Plot Legend Does Not Update When Using Property Nodes When the properties of a plot legend are changed by property node or by a reference and a property node, the legend does not redraw. Workaround: A redraw can be forced by changing the property node Plot.Name, changing the property node Legend.Visible, or a mouse movement over the plot legend.
| |||||
| 141699 Return | NI Distributed System Manager does not show deployed libraries if they contain non-Latin characters. If a library with non-Latin characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean) is deployed, it will not show up in the NI Distributed System Manager tree view. Workaround: Rename the library using only the Latin alphabet and re-deploy the library.
| |||||
| 148149 Return | Event Structure Cases can Incorrectly Remap to Other Dynamic Events When deleting a user event refnum from a cluster which is input to a Register For Events Function, the associated Event Structure cases can be swapped. Workaround: Make sure User Events registered multiple times like this have unique names. On the attached VI, all the User Events have the same name "Event A". Popup on each Event refnum control, choose "Show Control", then show the control's label and renamed it to match the top-level type name, or some other unique name.
| |||||
| 157246 Return | The Property Node "Bring to Front" doesn't work in Windows Vista Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 124783 Return | Sound Input Read VI does not return samples requested If the user inputs a value of "number of samples/ch" into the Sound Input Read VI and the waveform that this returned is only 75% of the samples. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 128059 Return | Shared variable bindings in the same library are not updated properly when copying/renaming the library If you have shared variables in a library which are bound to I/O servers or other variables that are also in the same library, and you rename or save a copy of the library, the bindings still refer to the original library name. Workaround: Manually rebind the variables after copying or renaming the library.
| |||||
| 162800 Return | "Wait on Notification from Multiple" returns inconsistent results when multiple refnums refer to same named notifier When using the "Wait On Multiple Notifications" primitive, problems have been observed if two refnums in the input array refer to the same named notifier. These problems apply if the exact same refnum is included multiple times or if different refnums to the same notifier are included. If the Wait node executes and there is already a notification available then the output refnum array will include every refnum that refers to the underlying notifier (including multiple copies of the same refnum) and there will be N copies of the notification in the output notification array, one for each output refnum. If the Wait node does have to go to sleep, when Send Notification executes, the Wait will wake up but will return an array containing only a single refnum and one copy of the notification. Workaround: You can use Notifier Status function on each of the refnums passed as input to the Wait function in order to get the names of all those notifiers. When the Wait function returns its results, use the Notifier Status function to get the name of the returned notifier, then search the original list for all refnums that have the same name as the one returned. This allows you to identify the original refnums that should have been returned.
| |||||
| 147187 Return | Crash using Xscale Info or YScale Info graph properties Graph properties Xscale Info and YScale Info available in LabVIEW 6.0 are no longer available. Using these properties will cause your VI to crash when executed. Workaround: Use newer individual properties XScale.Range etc. to adjust your graph properties.
| |||||
| 164268 Return | Tab control incorrectly displays ComponentWorks 3D Graph when other tabs are selected "Page Labels Display" Tab Controls display remnants of ComponentWorks 3D graph when toggling through the pages using Page Labels Display. The issue does not occur when manually clicking on the Page names, or when changing the value of the tab with the tab's terminal, a local variable, or a Value property node. Workaround: Change the value of the tab directly on the terminal, with a local variable, or a Value property node.
| |||||
| 166253 Return | LabVIEW.app does not show up after LabVIEW 2009 Installation Workaround: This is only an issue for customers who installed the LabVIEW 2009 Beta for Mac. Delete /Library/Receipts/LabVIEW*9.0.pkg before running the LabVIEW 2009 installer for Mac OS.
| |||||
| 178273 Return | "Must Override" doesn't break descendant classes if ancestor implementation is renamed On a parent class, mark one dynamic dispatch VI as "Must Override". Now add an override VI in the child classes so that the hierarchy is not broken. Now do Save As:Rename on the parent VI. The child classes should be broken because they no longer have an override for the VI that changed its name, but they are not broken. Workaround: Unloading the classes and reloading them will correctly break the classes.
| |||||
| 181687 Return | Web publishing tool fails without error The web publishing tool may fail to start the web server if the port is already reserved, yet not return an error. Workaround: Ensure that the port to be used by the web server is not in use.
| |||||
| 173080 Return | When a project that contains variables with binding is created in one language and opened in a different language, variables may fail to deploy Workaround: Open the project in the desired language, double-click on the variables with binding, and re-bind the variables.
| |||||
| 185059 Return | Member VIs of a class that is a member of a project library have a red X on them in the palettes Normally this red X only appears when you put private or unlicensed VIs into the palettes. VIs marked with this red X still drop on block diagrams successfully. Workaround: You can create a set of Merge VIs that are not part of the class that have just a single subVI on their block diagram that is the class VI you wanted to drop.
| |||||
| 163371 Return | "Save As:Copy" on a nested library breaks member VIs if use option to add copied library to owner library Old Description :"Save As:Copy" on a nested library breaks member VIs if use option to add copied library to owner libraryIf you have a nested library, a library that is owned by another library, and you use Save As:Copy, there is an option to add the duplicate library to the original owner library. If you use this option, the member VIs of the duplicate library are all broken because they are not correctly named as members of the owning library.This bug affects all types of libraries, .lvlib, .lvclass, .xctl and .lvsc. Workaround: Option 1: Do not use the "add to owning library" option and instead add the duplicate library to the owner manually after the copy. Option 2: After the copy operation, open and close one of the new VIs and then move the duplicate library out of the owner library. Browse to any missing VIs that pop up a browse dialog. Move the duplicate library back into the owner library.
| |||||
| 173963 Return | Pressing "Stop" while dropping Snippet with SubVI that cannot be located hangs LabVIEW Workaround: Do not press Stop, use Ignore instead.
| |||||
| 174929 Return | Repeated Loading & Unloading of the Analysis Library Generates Exception This problem has only been reproduced on Linux using the latest versions of MKL v10.x, and has been reported to Intel as 545399. Some analysis VIs in LabVIEW use Intel's Math Kernel Library (MKL) internally to compute results. Opening these VIs or using them on another VI's diagram loads the MKL library. When all references to these analysis VIs are closed, the MKL library is unloaded from memory.When working with a VI that use these analysis VIs, the following development patterns can lead to this problem:1. Dynamically opening and closing references to the VI while no references to the analysis VIs are in memory.2. Iteratively opening and closing the VI while no other analysis VIs are loaded in memory.3. Using the File >> Close All operation in between editing one or more VIs that use the analysis VIs. Workaround: To avoid the exception, the MKL library must remain in memory during the entire LabVIEW session. You can achieve this in many ways:1. Open the front panel of an analysis VI that loads MKL and keep it open until exiting LabVIEW.2. Open a reference to an analysis function that loads MKL and close the reference before closing LabVIEW.The A x B.vi from the Mathematics >> Linear Algebra palette is an example of analysis function that serves this purpose.
| |||||
| 168005 Return | Dynamic Variable API Does Not Support I/O Servers that Use Ranges You cannot use the Variable classes, properties, and methods or the associated Shared Variable functions (Dynamic Variable API) to dynamically read and write PSP items published by an I/O Server that uses a Range item. For example, Modbus I/O Servers and Lookout Ranges are affected by this issue. Workaround: If you want to use the Dynamic Variable API to read or write one of these PSP items, you can create a network-published shared variable and bind it to the PSP item. Then you can use the Dynamic Variable API to read and write the bound shared variable.
| |||||
| 169840 Return | Large matrix operations that utilize the Intel MKL on Linux may crash LabVIEW When one or more matrix operations consumes most of the system resources, the Intel MKL library produces an unhandled exception that results in a LabVIEW application crashing.This Intel library is used to accelerate fundamental linear algebra operations performed under Linux operating systems. This issue has been reproduced outside the LabVIEW execution environment and a bug report has been submitted to Intel.Because the crash is tied to system resources, it can manifest itself in many ways. For example, we have reliably reproduced the problem by:1. Decomposing a large matrix into multiple large matrices.Specific example: Computing the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a 2500-by-2500 matrix on a system with 256M RAM.2. Simultaneously computing multiple matrix operations using relatively small matrices.Specific example: Computing 30 matrix expressions using 300 x 300 matrices on a system with 512 MB RAM. Workaround: If you have identified one or more matrix operations in your application that exhibit this behavior, you have multiple options to avoid crashing.1. Serialize the matrix operations so that they are not consuming resources in parallel.2. Replace affected matrix arithmetic functions using Basic Linear Algebra Subroutine (BLAS)functions found on the BLAS palette.3. Structure your application so that these operations are not competing with other functions for system resources.
| |||||
| 103315 Return | Creating a circular link between an Xcontrol and a LVClass can crash LabVIEW. The circular load leads to VIs that are permanently broken and no matter what you do the run arrow will not become fixed. Workaround: Do not create a circular link from your XControl to your class. In other words, write your class completely and then write your XControl using the class. Do not put the XControl or any property/invoke node for the XControl into member VIs of the class.
| |||||
| 154260 Return | Context Help does not update for controls or indicators placed in a tab control on front panel Workaround: Right click on the item in the tab control and go to Properties»Documentation and add a custom Description for that item.

| 231877 Return | Polymorphic VIs with "Adapt to Type" set can choose wrong instance VI With a polymorphic VI with instance VIs that take a floating point type and an integer type, the "Adapt to Type" mechanism may incorrectly choose the integer type instance VI when a floating point type with more precision is wired in. For example, if a polymorphic VI has one instance VI that takes an I32 and one that takes a Single Precision floating-point number, when wiring in a Double Precision floating-point number the polymorphic VI will choose the I32 version. Workaround: Coerce the input data type to correspond to the desired instance VI.

| 185890 Return | Text on a VI can be mutated to appear as Unicode After building a project into an executable, various text for controls and indicators changes languages. It appears that the text was interpreted as Unicode.We have not been able to reproduce this in house to find a definite cause. Because of this we will leave this CAR open even though we have created code to recover from the corruption if it happens.Previously tracked as CAR 179683 Workaround: Upgrade the VI to LabVIEW 2011. In 2011 we put in code to only view text on VIs as unicode if the UseUnicode=True is in the LabVIEW .ini file. Previously this would only switch on the ability to change something to unicode.When the VI is upgraded to 2011 it should be saved and then saved for previous to return it to the original version.

| 230799 Return | Crash on exit in process which calls a LabVIEW-built shared library on Linux A process which calls a LabVIEW-built shared library may crash on exit in some cases because the LabVIEW runtime engine is still trying to clean up while the process is shutting down. This usually happens only when the main process links directly to the LabVIEW-built shared library or when the shared library is loaded dynamically and then unloaded just before exiting. This should not happen if sufficient time passes between the unloading of the shared library and exiting the process. Workaround: Load the LabVIEW-built shared library dynamically using dlopen, close it using dlclose, and then sleep for around 100ms (ex, usleep(100000); ) before exiting the process.

| 232348 Return | Changes to a library item's access scope sometimes do not update broken callers. Changing a library item's access scope sometimes does not update callers which are broken only because they were attempting to access an item which was out of scope to them. Workaround: Force recompile (ctrl+click on the run arrow) any VI which incorrectly believes that access scope forbids access to it's dependency. Changing the access scope to another value, then back to the desired value while the VI is open will also fix the issue.

| 318415 Return | Error reading LVM file "Incorrect file type" If you save data to a LVM file using the "Overwrite once, then append to file" mode, you can potentially get an error when reading this file back. The error will show up as "incorrect file type". The problem is that the step reads back the file in 65K chuncks and if this chunk happens to end in the middle of a header section, the step will give this error. Workaround: A potential workaround is to add a few extra lines in the beginning of the file and thus shifting where the next 65k chunk starts. Also, in general, the LVM file type is not the best file format for overwriting the file with multiple sections, thus it's better not to use this mode

| 242778 Return | Library (or class or XControl) may become corrupted by saving a reference to non-existant untitled VI If you create a new, untitled VI in a library (including .lvlib, .lvclass and .xctl files) and then disconnect the untitled VI from the library but keep the VI open in memory, the library will often not actually disconnect entirely from the VI, and when you save the library, it will be saved with a reference to a non-existent untitled VI. When you later load that library, the blank VI will be recreated, but the library will report itself as broken because of a missing VI, and the library will have no obvious way to be fixed short of recreating the library from scratch. Workaround: Open the library file in a text editor. Find an tag where the Name attribute refers to an untitled VI. Delete that tag (everything from the to the ) and save the library file. This fixes the corrupt part of the library.

| 246375 Return | Unexplained broken wire when local variable of Chart control interacts with uninitialized shift registers A Chart changes its type to match the type of the wire connected to its FPTerminal. If you create a local variable of the Chart, that local variable will also change its type to match the FPTerminal. If both the local variable and the FPTerminal are inside the same loop AND the wire going into the FPTerminal is coming from an uninitialized shift register, then there are rare situations in LabVIEW 2010 where the wire going into the local variable will end up broken and complaining about incompatible types even though the types on both ends of the wire are identical. This bug does not exist in LV 2009 or earlier. Workaround: Set the type going into the FPTerminal explicitly instead of relying upon the type calculated by the uninitialized shift register. Methods for doing this will vary greatly between diagrams.

| 245609 Return | Swapping Connector Pane terminals loses Required status If you use the switcheroo tool to switch connector pane terminals this will re-categorize the terminals as Recommended. Previously tracked as CAR 277047 Workaround: Set the status of the terminals after switching.
| |||||
| 246681 Return | lvwsdsc not generated correctly unless your VI is in your project directory If your web service VI is in a subdirectory under your project, then the lvwsdsc file does not generate the sections under each . This causes the Web UI Builder to not generate these as inputs to the generated wrapper VIs. Workaround: Use the 8.x file layout
| |||||
| 255982 Return | Child Class Property Node does not output until deleting and rewiring any part of the VI This issue pertains to Object-Oriented Programming in LabVIEW. Essentially upon creating a Parent class and Child class, we are unable to read the child class properties in the main VI through property nodes unless we have changed the VI recently (i.e. unwire & rewire). Workaround: The workaround for this issue is to use subVIs created from 'VI for Dynamic Dispatch Template.' Within the subVIs you are able to unbundle and bundle the object.
| |||||
| 257275 Return | Format Into String does not work with the %d format for numbers larger than I32 The Format Into String VI does not correctly format numbers outside the 32-bit integer (I32) range when using the '%d' format. When the number is outside the I32 range, the resulting string displays either -2147483648 or 2147483647 depending on if the number is negative or positive. Workaround: Use %.0f instead of %d as the format string.

| 278559 Return | Nested classes in a packed project library breaks a VxWorks VI. When building a packed project library that includes nested classes for a VxWorks target, the VIs in the built library are broken. However if you build for a PharLap or Windows target, there aren't any issues. Workaround: Use a debuggable packed library
| |||||
| 279298 Return | Deploying a VI with OO Accessors can cause internal error 1394 Certain LabVIEW classes can cause deployment errors if they contain accessor methods that are available as property nodes. The possible errors that occur are internal error 1494 or an RTEmbEditor.cpp DWarn at line 105. Workaround: Recompiling the VI may offer a temporary solution but replacing the property nodes with regular accessor methods should fix the problem.
| |||||
| 254317 Return | LabVIEW can crash when deleting broken wires. LabVIEW will sometimes crash when deleting sections of block diagram code that contain broken wires. Workaround: Use Ctrl+B to delete broken wires

| 192804 Return | Error 91 occurred at the Variant To Data node Variant To Data sometimes throws an error 91 when running in a built executable in LV 2009"Error 91 occurred at ...Possible reason(s):LabVIEW: The data type of the variant is not compatible with the data type wired to the type input." Workaround: 1) Update the variant type by generating a new one. (In an empty VI wire the typedef into the "data to variant" prim and run the VI. Then create a constant from the indicator and use this constant as the new type for the variant.)OR2) Use a Flatten Variant to String and then an Unflatten from String (not the variant version). If you wire in the control you're trying to extract from the variant, it will work like a charm.

| 236193 Return | Crash with invalid input (o or negative values) of "samples per channel" when misusing TDMS Set Channel Information There are some situations if you set the value of "samples per channel" of TDMS Set Channel Information as 0 or negative values (invalid values), which could cause a crash. Workaround: Avoid using 0 or negative values as "samples per channel".
| |||||
| 245148 Return | Class Properties dialog sometimes throws timeout error 123 when opening and must be restarted In LV 2010, there appears to be a timing race condition in the Class Properties dialog for LabVIEW classes. Every once in a while if you try to launch the dialog, the dialog will throw an error dialog reporting error 123 that the dialog has timed out while trying to launch. After you dismiss the dialog, you may see a secondary error dialog. Once you dismiss that, you can relaunch the Class Properties dialog and will generally succeed. There is no danger to your class and no corruption to you class file has occurred. It is solely a bug in trying to launch the dialog. Workaround: Hit Continue or OK button to dismiss all error dialogs that come up then retry opening the Class Properties dialog.

| |||||
| 278029 Return | Changing an case selector from I64 to U32 can cause a corruption If you originally have an I64 wired to a case selector terminal and then change it to U32 the case structure will become corrupt and will eventually thrown an insane object error. Workaround: If the real need for change is the source and not the case structure itself, drop a conversion bullet in front of the Case structure so the input to the case structure is not changed.
| |||||
| 281124 Return | Nested diagram disable structures can cause LabVIEW to no compile. If you place a diagram disable structure with both cases disabled on your block diagram, you get an broken run arrow and an error from LabVIEW saying "Diagram disable structure has no active diagram".However, If you place a diagram disable structure with both cases disabled inside the disable case of another diagram disable structure you don't get a broken run arrow. When you try to run the VI you get the error message, "LabVIEW Needs more memory to compile". Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 256238 Return | Last iteration of parallel for loop may not execute in parallel when it has non-indexing output tunnels The last iteration of a parallel for loop may execute serially after all of the other iterations are finished when the loop has at least one non-indexing output tunnel. This can be particularly noticeable when the loop executes a small number of iterations and each iteration performs a large amount of work. Workaround: Remove all non-indexing output tunnels from the loop.
| |||||
| 289842 Return | Get Variant Attribute VI returns wrong value if attribute not found The default value that's returned by the Get Variant Attribute VI is not blank when nothing is wired to the default value terminal.

| 238713 Return | 3D Picture Controls can display transparently or crash LabVIEW on certain graphics cards The 3D Picture Control is built on a OpenSceneGraph which uses OpenGL. Several reports of the 3D picture control crashing LabVIEW have been reported. In almost all cases it was an Intel integrated graphics card involved. This crash is caused by an incompatibility of the graphics hardware.Note: Many of the 3D Graphs use the 3D Picture Control Workaround: There have been several things that have worked for users:
| |||||
| 255617 Return | Error 1502 can occur if dependencies are placed in non executing case structures In previous versions of LabVIEW you could place VIs in a case structure with a constant wired the the case selector. This would load the VIs at runtime. If you have this pattern and attempt to build an executable you could receive error 1502 Workaround: Don't use unreachable code
| |||||
| 283943 Return | Many VI Server methods work across contexts and use variants, which can crash LabVIEW when provided with context sensitive data (such as LabVIEW Classes). Writing a VI which passes or returns variants with a VI Server method or property to interact with a VI open in another context can crash LabVIEW when using context sensitive data (such as LabVIEW Classes). Workaround: Make sure that any interaction with context sensitive data is performed by a VI loaded in the same context as the target. If you need to give commands to a target in another context, you may need to load a helper VI in the target's context and use simpler datatypes to instruct the helper VI how to interact with the target.

| 283709 Return | Logos Sockets should broadcast on all available NICs The behavior of a UDP broadcast on a machine with multiple network adapters has changed between Windows XP and Windows 7. It's not clear at the moment whether this change was introduced in Windows 7 or Windows Vista. In Windows XP, if a UDP socket is not bound to a specific NIC, a broadcast packet would be sent on all available adapters. In Windows 7, only one adapter is used (the one with the lowest numeric IP address, which is essentially random). This link gives further details:http://serverfault.com/questions/72112/how-to-fix-the-global-broadcast-address-255-255-255-255-behavior-on-windows Workaround: Setting the "ServiceBindTo" INI token to the MAC of the primary NIC will guarantee that broadcasts happen on that NIC. However, this will not allow broadcasting on multiple subnets, and it will make the chosen NIC the only NIC which can perform Logos Sockets communication. New Logos XT communication will be unaffected, but this could be important for legacy apps. Note, however, that Logos Sockets can only ever use a single NIC, so any legacy app running on a mult-NIC machine has likely already bound all Logos communication to the appropriate NIC.

| |||||
| 294285 Return | Type Defined Shared Variable not found in Executable When a VI is made with the following conditions:1) Uses a Shared Variable attached to a type definition2) The type defined control (attached to the shared variable) is not in the main project directory (ie, it is in a different folder)3) The VI uses dynamic data (or waveform to dynamic data function)A created executable seems to not include the *.ctl file defining the shared variable type. This missing type definition causes the run time engine, when starting the executable, to search for and (if the control is not located in the searched directories) fail to find the *.ctl file. If the location of the *.ctl file is specified, the executable runs without issues. Workaround: Disconnect from Type Def during the build.
| |||||
| 294981 Return | Creating a copy of a class and adding it to the current project from the Save As dialog may crash LabVIEW A bug exists in LabVIEW which may cause it to crash when using "Save As" to create a copy of a class and add it to the current project at the same time. If you have a class that has LabVIEW class properties and that class contains a VI which uses those properties, LabVIEW may crash when adding that class to the project. This only occurs when you use the check box in the Save As Dialog that says "Add copy to XYZ.lvproj" Workaround: Don't add the class to the project from the Save As dialog. Once you've saved a copy, add it to the project separately.

| 179603 Return | Call Parent Node input must be the same as dynamic dispatch terminal. When using the call parent node in a VI with dynamic dispatch terminals, the data must flow from the terminal to the Call Parent Node. If not the VI should break. In LabVIEW 2010 and previous this doesn't break. However this will break in LabVIEW 2011 with the error message: "The data from the dynamic input must flow to the Call Parent Node; however, you can modify the data along the way. In this error, there is no wire path that leads from the dynamic input front panel terminal to the dynamic input of the Call Parent Node. Without such data flow, a child class may violate the functionality contract established by its parent class." Workaround: Turn off the output's "Dynamic Dispatch Output" option.
| |||||
| 112702 Return | Cannot read file that shows up as zero bytes. Linux, Unix and Macs can have files that show up on disk as zero bytes but actually have data that can be read.

| 187412 Return | Custom RTM will incorrectly link to the source location when built into an executable If you have a custom Run-Time Menu you can include it in an executable. When we build the executable we incorrectly link to the original location of the RTM file instead of the one being brought into the build. Workaround: Save the original RTM files in a location that you can distribute. For example if you save them in the "Data" directory that is next to where the executable will be saved this will work and create a package that isn't terrible to distribute.
| |||||
| 250532 Return | ConnectorPane.cpp can cause a VI to be unable to load This internal warning can cause a VI to have a corrupt connector pane. If this occurs you will get Error Code 3: Cannot load front panel, when you attempt to open the VI. Workaround: N/A

| 286917 Return | DSC Periodic I/O Servers run as SYSTEM and creates a security vulnerability Period I/O server runs within the Shared Variable Engines (tagsrv.exe) in the SYSTEM security context. Any user on the machine (excluding guests), regardless of security level (administrator, user, power user, etc...) can deploy a Periodic I/O server to be run by the Shared Variable Engine. This makes it possible for a non-priviledged user to run LabVIEW code at a higher permission level than they are allowed. This is commonly know as a priviledge escalation vulnerability. (This does not apply to guest users as they seem to be unable to deploy LabVIEW Web services)This is dangerous as the Application Web Server is automatically installed and enabled (at least in LabVIEW Beta 2), allowing any user on the machine to use this vulnerability to execute code in the SYSTEM security context without having to enable or modify anything. This invalidates Windows user security. Workaround: 1. Open the Service Control Manager (in Vista and Win 7 simply type "Services" in the "Search for Programs and Files" box in the start menu.2. In the service control manager, find "National Instruments Variable Engine" 3. Right click and select "Properties" in the popup menu.4. Click on the tab labeled "Log On"5. In the dialog, click on the radio button labeled "This account:"6. Select a user account on your machine or domain that does not have administrator privileges on the machine itself.7. Click OK8.

| 245359 Return | Selecting a newer version of a .NET assembly does not reload assembly Changing a constructor from an old version of a .NET assembly to a newer version at edit time does not cause the new assembly to be loaded and consequently none of the new functionality is available. Workaround: 1. Remove the old assembly so the .NET Runtime is not able to find it. It will then return the updated version to LabVIEW.2. Load the new assembly in a blank VI before opening your existing VI. This will load the new version into memory prior to you requesting the older version.
