Distributed System Manager has numerous bugs:
1. Save Workspace does not work correctly, position and graph size information is totally lost when saving. Also the act of saving will reset size and position of many panels.
2. Data field in the plot legend of a historical chart does not update correctly, many times it will show (no data) when I can see from the NSV table that the data is in fact changing.
BTW, deadbanding is set to zero so logging should occur at every change.
3. Editing the properties of a NSV will cause that variable to be deleted from the DSM and will have to be redeployed.
4. Historical charts do not update correctly, data points are not connected until you click the mouse on the chart which forces a refresh (this problem was reported back in 2009 and I even
had a net meeting with NI staff where this was mentioned and unbelievably this is still not fixed)
