What custom device are you using here? Was it something from the Community, or something you, or someone you're working with made? Most community devices have a feedback and support page. Also it would be helpful if you posted a screenshot of the block diagram. We cannot tell from just the front panel what this control is connected to downstream in your program.

thank you fou your help.

I have another question about this "customXML"tag. I want to get some information from the 'customXML' terminal in the "custom device initialization VI.vi" . I change the custom device XML file manually, when I load the SDF file, I get an error.

If I use the names that the custom device xcd file contained, there is no error, but I still can't get the information.

Latecomer to this discussion, so I apologize if this is stupidly out of context . . . 

 

hm7, I believe that you need to have valid XML tags inside that Custom XML section (not just text).

 

For example you could put in the following:

 

<Popup Text>Hello</Popup Text>

 

I'm fairly certain that what you currently have is not valid per the XML Schema (Custom Device.xsd).  I've used this tool before to validate XML: http://www.freeformatter.com/xml-validator-xsd.html

you could refer to any xml file of custom device example at C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI VeriStand 2013\Custom Devices as attachment.

 

if it doesn't work for you ,  I think you had better to rebuild the custom device from the custom template tool step by step.
