Apparent bug in Simulation Interface Toolkit

Labview v7.1
Simulation Interface Toolkit v2.0.1
Matlab v6.1 or v6.5

When generating a simple VI with the "SIT Connection Manager", the VI doesn't display any outputs. The other behavior seems to be correct though. For instance, parameters are passed correctly to Simulink and the simulation changes accordingly. Upon comparing the block diagram of the VI to figure 13 in the SIT User Guide, I noticed missing connections inside "SIT Read Loop" between the "Unbundle By Name" block and the case structure.

By adding these connections, the VI seems to work correctly.

Is the lacking connections the intended behavior? If so, I don't think it is described in the tutorial. If not, is there a fix to this and po
ssibly other bugs or am I stuck making these connections manually?

The attached model is for Matlab 6.5 containing a constant connected to a Simulink display and an NISink block. The VI has 1 control for the constant value and 1 indicator for the NISink block. The connections were made with "SIT Connection Manager".

This is a known bug with LV7.1.

The SIT works with LV7, and NI is apparently working on a patch to make it work with 7.1

You need to get a patch (Simulation Interface Toolkit 2.0.2) in order to use the tool with LabVIEW 7.1
