Overview

This document contains the LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite 1.0 and 1.1 known issues that were discovered before and since the release of LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite 1.1. Not every issue known to NI will appear on this list; it is intended to only show the severe and more common issues that can be encountered.

Known Issues by Date

The following items are known issues in LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite 1.0 and 1.1 sorted by Date.

505995Multiplication with Inverted Terminals Change the Output to Double When Wired

IDKnown Issue
505995

Return
Multiplication with Inverted Terminals Change the Output to Double When Wired
Multiplying with inverted terminals will always produce a double but it does not show it until the inputs are wired

Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 1.0  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 12/08/2014
507482

Return
The IIR Filter FPGA IP Example Does Not Run on Hardware
When opening the IIR Filter Example, the example runs in simulation. However, when switching to run the example in hardware, there are several issues: The 2nd Order IIR Filter.gvi shows up underneath the FPGA target which causes errors as the filter isn't supported on FPGA. In addition the Open FPGA VI has 'Run' set to False which produces an error. The Host.gvi has the close FPGA VI wired to True for 'abort?' which is not supported and will generate another error.

Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 1.0  Resolved Version: 2.0  Added: 12/08/2014
507503

Return
FPGA Host Interface Example Returns Wrong Value In Indicator for USRP
When running the FPGA Host Interface Example, the example reads a control 'x' and writes the value of 'x+1' to an indicator. However, the USRP portion of example shows that the indicator is returning 'x' in the 'x+1' indicator.

Workaround: You can rebuild another example based off of the USRP example that points the 'x+1' value to the indicator instead of the 'x' value or use one of the other examples.

537576

Return
SISO TDD OFDM Video Stream Example Does Not Work
When running the batch script associated with SISO TDD OFDM Video Stream example, the video loopback fails in VLC.

Workaround: Use an older version of VLC (2.1.5 or earlier).

Return
LabVIEW Communications 1.1, or earlier, cannot load bitfiles created in later versions of LabVIEW Communications and LabVIEW NXG
Bitfiles created in LabVIEW Communications 2.0/NXG 1.0, or later, will fail to load in earlier versions of a LabVIEW Communications host VI with the message, “This version of the bitfile is newer than the current version of the application”.

Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 1.1  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 05/01/2017
