CVI 2009 - Instruments loaded in project lost when CVI shutdown/restarted

[mwgesner]

Steps to duplicate:

1. Start CVI 2009; load a project with no instruments loaded.

2. Load instruments into project (the test case in which this problem was observed loaded niScope.fp and FieldPoint.fp; NI-Scope version was 3.5.1, Field Point was 6.0.4).

3. Compile/build project.

4. Shutdown CVI; restart (project will be reloaded by default).

Observed behavior:

1. Instruments loaded into project in prior iteration will not be loaded and need to be reloaded before project can be compiled/built.  This behavior was not observed in prior versions.

This is the expected behaviour, I think. At list it was up to release 8.5 (I can't test more further). See here.

How did you load the instruments to the project in step-2?

If you did it by adding the .fp files to the project (and saved the project) then they should be loaded next time you open the project.

If you did it manually from the menu, then I think what you are observing is normal.

Can you try it with adding the .fp files? (I would, but I do not have CVI 2009)

My mistake; I was loading interactively vs. loading the .fp files into the project.  Thanks for the help.
