LabVIEW applications that allocate memory using nipalk.sys may occasionally have bugcheck (Blue Screen) errors

A customer has reported that one of their LabVIEW-based applications causes occasional bugcheck (Blue Screen of Death--BSoD) errors. The crash dump stacks vary, the involved process varies (nipalsm.exe, 'Customer Application'.exe), and the reported types vary (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY). However, all the observed errors involve nipalk.sys and they all seem to involve memory allocation. The error is observed only when the application initializes access to NI-DAQmx for the first time during an OS session. If the application is able to initialize successfully, the error is not observed while the application executes. The root cause of this error is currently unknown.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

When adding connections to an 802.1w capable Ethernet switch, some NI Ethernet devices may briefly send duplicated packets

FieldDAQ and TSN Ethernet cDAQ devices have an integrated network switch to enable daisy-chaining of devices. When used with a dedicated ethernet switch, like the cRIO-9805, rings of devices can be created. To prevent network flooding when connected in rings, the switches on theses devices implement the rapid spanning tree protocol (IEEE 802.1w). This protocol establishes a loop-free logical network from a physical network which may have multiple paths between devices.

Rarely, when a physical link is established between a FieldDAQ, TSN Ethernet cDAQ, or cRIO-9805 device and any other 802.1w capable ethernet switch, if the link completes a physical network loop, the NI device may incorrectly forward packets through the new loop. This error can be triggered when manually connecting a cable, or when a link is lost temporarily and returns; perhaps because of a loose connection. The time in this error state is brief; much less than a second. 

This error is not believed to affect the operation of FieldDAQ or cDAQ devices. It may affect devices using the network that cannot tolerate receiving duplicated packets.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

Using the DAQAssistant with DAQmx 2022 Q3+ on LabVIEW 2023 Q3 Fails to Generate Code

Using the DAQAssistant on LabVIEW 2023 Q3 with DAQmx 2022 Q3+ installed fails to configure the DAQAssistant node and gives the following code generation error:
"LabVIEW Code Generation failed to execute. This may occur if the code gen engine is not properly installed, or if you are using a LabVIEW version under development" . 

Other workflows that use the DAQ Assistant to generate DAQmx tasks also fail.

Workaround:

Install LabVIEW 2021 SP1

  • LabVIEW 2021 SP1 does not need to be activated, it is sufficient to install LabVIEW 2021 on your system and not activate it
  • Installing just the LabVIEW 2021 SP1 run-time engine will not be sufficient, the LabVIEW ADE needs to be installed 

Reported Version:
