Build deployed RT Scan Engine IOV (Variable.XML) Parser and Editor into MAX or other standalone utility

Status:

If you have a deployed RT system running the scan engine you may have IOV channels with scaling that was configured and deployed from the project.

What happens when you need to change a scaling factor after the system has been deployed? You would need the development tools to do this.

Since the smarts for this is already built into the LV IDE why not put the same code into MAX for remote viewing and modification of IOV properties.

Make Auto-Assigned Names in Multiple Variable Editor Zero-Indexed

Status:

When renaming a set of variables for all the channels on a cRIO module, the names are assigned numbers starting with 1. These names do not line up properly with the names of the physical channels, and referencing the inputs becomes confusing with two different assigned numbers. This could be resolved by zero-indexing the numbers that are appended to the name of the channel.

Remove Ability to Add Invalid cRIO Controller / Chassis Combinations in the LabVIEW Project

Status:

Currently, when you add a new (not existing) cRIO controller and chassis to a LabVIEW project, there is no check as to whether this is a valid configuration or not. For example, you can successfully add a cRIO 9072 controller with a 9112 chassis to a project, even though the 9072 is a controller with an integrated chassis. I believe that the LabVIEW Project interface should notify the user (via dialog box) that this is not a valid configuration before they can add modules and start developing code to use an invalid configuration.
