Reading waveforms from file

[jdavis01]

I have an application that writes waveforms to file originally written in LV 6.1. I currently am trying to read the waveforms from file in LV 8.0 Feb 2006 release and I continually  get the error 116  unflattened string    ..... or the send Microsoft error report and Labview shuts down. I am not sure what is going on can anyone assist me?

Could you provide a simple example vi and a short test file demonstrating the problem ?

Here is a vi example that reproduces the error 116 behavior

Hello ab_man,

I don't see that behavior on my machine, when I run the application in LabVIEW 7.1 or in LabVIEW 8.0.  Some other customers have corrected this problem by initializing their waveform constant before writing it to disk.

Hope that helps.

Seems I needed to mass compile my LV 8.0 directory.. Thanks for you suggestions

Hi,

you have to update LabVIEW 8 to 8.0.1.

http://ftp.ni.com/support/softlib/labview/labview_development_system/8.0.1/Windows/ni_labview_8.0.1....

 and mass compile the LabVIEW directory. This will fix the problem.
