ABS function bug in Lookout 6.6

I ran across this issue when recompiling one of my process files that uses the absolute value function. Some time after creating an expression using the absolute value function, if I go back to that expression, "abs" will be replaced with "must range between -1 and 1. The result is output in radians and ranges from 0 to PI" (see attachments). The absolute value will still be calculated, but if you recompile your process file you will get syntax errors.

 

I do not know if any other functions are affected in this way.

Hi Ryan

 

I have now the same problem with the ABS function in Lookout 6.6

 

Is there a fix available?

 

Best regards

Dennis

I recall back in 5.1 there was a bug that would cause Symbolic Links to be replaced with "INVALID SIGNAL", causing the L4P and LKS to be corrupted.

What's your lookout version?

I don't remember there is a workaround. If it's not old version, I can build a fix for you.

Why not actually release it as a patch, you know how NI used to do things before every bug fix/introduction is a new "version".
