Monthly Bugs (February 2006)

Here is a FusterCluck for all you state machine fans out there:

Don't know if this is a bug or demotion.  PDARocker Classic control on LV8 PocketPC does not display the boolean text when running.  In LV7.1 the boolean text was there.

we see that in LV 8 the "Tools»Convert Build Script" function reports the user has aborted the operation when in fact an attempt was made to save a write protected VI. Simple work-around, write-enable all VI's associated with a build script!

When does "Bring to Center" not actually bring the cursor to the center?  When the scale is != 1.0 in LV 8.

I was showing something in LV8 to a colleague and as always something went wrong. He asked me about arrays, I put a build array in a diagram and want to expand this build array with the mouse (as usual). Easy, euh NO I tried everything but expanding the build array, concatenate string or cluster function was only possible with the right mouse menu.

Afterwards I looked further into it. I know that there was an other VI running. I stopped this VI and tried again. Now the expand was working again.

This problem does not exist in LV7.

LV PDA 8.0 doesn't work properly with multidimentionnal arrays and there are probably some other related bugs...

As confirmed by Darren, this thread

documents a bug with the "get Image" method of a cluster that also affects other functions that use that method.

Selecting "Show Control" on constant cluster crashes LabView

Replacing a shift register with tunnels leaves a bogus tunnel in place of the unwired half of the shift register pair. The VI is broken without any error showing when clicking the broken run arrow.

Page 20 "Instrumentation Newsletter" "First Qarter 2006" in the article entitled "Help Define the Next Generation of LaVIEW" includes a section labeled "Discussion Forums".

That section include the following statement;

I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to this thread and helped to make this a reality.
