| 433769 |
| UIR changes are not included in an executable build when the Embed project .UIRs option is enabled. | A change, introduced in the LabWindows/CVI 2013 f1 Patch prevents incremental changes to embedded UIR files from being included in subsequent builds. |
| 434048 |
| LabWindows/CVI displays a A custom control callback raised an exception message when changing the Array Display window format to ASCII. | After dismissing the dialog box, the mouse pointer changes into the wait cursor, but the development environment does not hang. Stepping over in the debugger after dismissing the dialog box causes the development environment to crash. |
| 434857 |
| Opening the Variables and Call Stack window in the SymmetricMultiprocessingRT example crashes the real-time target and hangs the development environment. | |
| 434892 |
| It is not possible to step into a LabWindows/CVI DLL from NI TestStand when using LabWindows/CVI 2013. | While debugging in TestStand, if you choose to step into a LabWindows/CVI DLL, TestStand will instead skip to the next sequence. This problem is unique to the LabWindows/CVI 2013 development environment. |
| 435055 |
| The LabWindows/CVI 2013 f1 patch version of cvi_lvrt.dll cannot load on real-time targets. | If you manually transfer the 2013 f1 patch version of cvi_lvrt.dll to your real-time target, it will fail to load with the following message:Error loading 'cvi_lvrt.dll': Missing export 'GetShortPathNameA' from 'KERNEL32.DLL.Note: Installing the 2013 f1 patch does not automatically cause this DLL to be installed to your real-time targets. |
| 435108 |
| Compiling source code with enums in the Interactive Execution window fails with an Invalid allocation size message. | The following snippet produces the error message:enum months { Jan=1, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec }; |
| 435714 |
| If you upgrade the version of NI-VISA or IVI Compliance Package on your system and the upgraded versions have added new functions, you will not be able to run the newly added functions in the Interactive Execution window. | |
| 435982 |
| The Build Output window is cleared after calling ActiveX automation function GetCVIState. | |
| 435983 |
| Instruments loaded in the Library Tree are not loaded in the Interactive Execution window. | This can lead to unresolved symbol error messages when certain functions are called from the Interactive Execution window. |
| 436211 |
| The Array Display window, configured to display ASCII, shows the octal code for last 9 bits for an array with more than 1 byte width. | |
| 437051 |
| Data tooltips display infinite precision instead of scientific notation. | |
| 437134 |
| GetCVIState and GetCVIStateEx sometimes return the wrong state between the build-time and run-time of a project. | When building and running a project, there is a window of time in which the project has been built but has not yet started running. During this time, GetCVIState and GetCVIStateEx return the same state as after the project has begun running. Consequently, a program that is checking if the project has finished executing might incorrectly think that the project has finished executing, when it has not started yet.This happens very infrequently. |
| 437610 |
| LabWindows/CVI 2013 removed support for specifying a .c file as the module to load to the LoadExternalModule and LoadExternalModuleEx functions. | LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP1 restores support for this feature. |
| 438332 |
| Clicking the options button in the graph cursor control from the graphcursorctrl.prj shipping example causes a non-fatal run-time error | The error message is as follows:NON-FATAL RUN-TIME ERROR: "graphcursorctrl.c", line 58, col 5, thread id 0x00001078: Library function error (return value == -46 [0xffffffd2]). The attribute passed is not valid |
| 438578 |

| 438840 |
| The ATTR_TOOLTIP_HIDE_DELAY attribute is not saved when saving a UIR as a TUI. | |
| 438949 |
| Breakpoints in project source code are not bound when running a stand-alone Interactive Execution window program. | If you set breakpoints in the source code of your project, those breakpoints will not be reached while you run your program in the stand-alone Interactive Execution window. |
| 440415 |
| Debugging via LabVIEW does not fully support multiple calls into the same DLL at the same time. | For example, a LabVIEW project might call two functions in a DLL from separate threads at the same time. Both LabWindows/CVI functions register the DLL with the LabWindows/CVI debugger. The first thread to exit the DLL will unregister the DLL from the LabWindows/CVI debugger while the second thread is still executing inside the DLL. This is a problem only when the second thread generates a run-time error, because the debugger thinks the location of the error is in an unknown module. The debugger cannot display proper source information for the error. |
| 441043 |
| Combining several operations on a pointer after a pointer cast or referencing specific elements in a global array causes compile-time crashes. | Combining several operations on a pointer after a pointer cast example:*((unsigned short *)ptr)++ = x;Referencing specific elements in a global array example: temp = &GlobalPointer[0]; |
| 442199 |
| LoadExternalModule loads .obj files that are linked into the calling executable instead of loading only .obj files on disk. | This occurs when the .obj file is specified by name instead of by its full path. |
| 443056 |
| Break On Change option in the Watch window does not work for items below the fourth position in the watch list. | |
| 443084 |
| The Watch window does not retain the Format setting for variables between debugging sessions. | |
| 443134 |
| Running a function panel with attached source in the Interactive Execution window always uses the Debug32 object, resulting in link errors or unintended behavior. | Note: This appears to work with 32-bit configurations, but the wrong compiled object is used. |
| 443144 |
| The Watch window does not retain the Format setting for variables when stepping through code. | |
| 443270 |
| Adding an enum variable to the Watch window crashes the debugger. |
