Bug? LabVIEW 2009 Enum in Datalog Refnum Loses Data in LabVIEW 2010+

[jgcode]

Hi 

Can I please get support from an AE?

Attached is a LabVIEW 2009 VI with a Control of an Enum in a Datalog Refnum.

Whereby the Enum's FP Object is represented as an image.

In LabVIEW 2009 this works fine however, in any higher version (I have definitely tested with LabVIEW 2011, but have been told LabVIEW 2010 is the same) the image is blank.

Is this a bug - is data being lost?

Interestingly enough, if I remove the LabVIEW 2009 Enum from the Datalog Refnum then load in LabVIEW 2011 this image displays correctly.

Is there anything I can do (setting? etc...) in LabVIEW 2009 that will correct this problem so it displays correctly in later versions?

This issue originated in this LAVA thread.

Cheers

This was reported to R&D (# 311354) for further investigation. 

As a possible workaround, if you move the enum control out of the datalog refnum before saving in LV 2009, when you open your VI in LV 2011 the image will still show up for the enum control. You can then move the enum control back into the datalog refnum and it should work fine. 

Thanks for the feedback,

Hi Daniel

Thank you for your reply, I look forward to hearing what R&D say and if there is anything I can do to the LabVIEW compiled code, that would fix this issue, so the end users (of LabVIEW 2010+) distributed code would not have to do anything.

Hi JG,

R&D has been notified of this issue, but I can't be sure of when this issue will be investigated and addressed. We periodically release lists of bugs that are fixed in service packs and new versions of LabVIEW, and you can use the R&D number I listed in my previous post to check for this specific issue on the bug fix lists.
