Configuration Property Editor

[FWRay-wjbroc]

I'm wondering if anyone elses has seen this problem with using the Configuration Property Toolset:

When implementing with the ConfigTool (v3) "Get Subproperties" subVI with settings of  "Get Property => get subproperties", I've discovered a bug in the software for configurations numbers greater then or equal to 10:

"................

 [DataClass.CC-ATE-TPS-726860-WalkingZeroInputs.Instrument.PXI#IP409#1.Configuration#1]

ClusterCriticalElements_I32=4
ChanDirection_U32=31361
ChanMask_U32=31361
ChanValue_U32=321
ResetCard_BOOL=TRUE
[DataClass.CC-ATE-TPS-726860-WalkingZeroInputs.Instrument.PXI#IP409#1.Configuration#17]

ChanValue_U32=31360
ClusterCriticalElements_I32=1

...................."

What will happen is if I request just the "...Configuration#1",   I end up getting both the subproperties for Configuration#1 and Configuration#17?

Is there a correction to this problem???

What is the "Configuration Property Editor" or "Toolset"?  I haven't heard of this before.  What does it have to do with Labview?

The Configuration Property Toolset is a ascii file base means of designing LabVIEW tests to read values from it.  The file format is similar to a .ini format with tabular types of tags (referred to as subproperties).  The software package includes a library of sub .VIs to read from the file plus an API that launches from LabVIEW  to edit the files.

Do you know who developed the tool?
They should be able to tell you what the problem is, or you code dig into the code yourself.

NI coded it as I got the download from their site....   I figured I'd post it here because I thought that NI reps also watch and contribute to this discussion board.   Also, sometimes users have better answers then the developers.  I've found a workaround to the problem but I just want to make sure that this problem hasn't been addressed in their design.  It is preferred by my workplace that we attempt to resolve by software upgrades first if possible.

I believe that I'm still able to produce this problem...  Even after upgrading to ConfigTool version 3.0, it appears that the problem is still there.  I could provide a snippet of code for you to evaluated...

Strangely enough,  the problem only occur for configuration numbers using  multiples that factor out as 1: (I.E. 1...10...11...100...199....). The configuration toolset call to get the get properties - subproperties seems to always return all subproperties for #1*.  However multiples of any others 2, 3, 4 seem to retrieve properly?

I will email the code snippet upon your request
