I can't fix my insane object error!

Hi all,
I'm getting the following error messages when I try to save my VI after running it:
Insane object at FPHP+208BC in "backup.vi":{sub}(0x10): Scale (DDO)
" " FPHP+20634 " " Waveform Chart (DDO)
" " FPHP+20E78 " " Scale (DDO)
" " FPHP+20CB0 " " Waveform Chart (DDO)
I read all of the info on insane objects available on the web site, and followed the instructions to fix the problem when it first appeared last week. I deleted and recreated the last charts and scales that I made, and eventually I recreated every chart and scale. This seemed to fix the problem, as I had no more error messages...until this morning.
I'd like to avoid having to recreate everything all over
again if possible. It's probably best that I send the VI to someone to take a look at and try to fix. We're using an opto22 interface for our readings, if that helps at all. Hopefully someone can help me fix this problem....
Thanks,

Andrew,
I was having a very similar error this morning. It turns out that the source of my problem was the range on the y-axis on one of my waveform charts was messed up. I had it set to autoscale and had been running the program and it plotted some really huge numbers because of a calculation error in one of my formulas. In any case, it seemed to run fine despite plotting bogus information, but when I went in to make changes and then tried to save I received the error messages similar to your situation and could not save. I fixed it as follows: I simply changed the values on the upper and lower end of the y-axis to something reasonable like +10 and -10. Then I tried to save and it worked just fine.
So you might take a good look at your waveform plots and check
the values on all of the ranges. I hope that helps you.

How do I fix an "Insane Object" Error ?

I am receiving an "Insane Object" error when I load one partuclar VI. Is there any way to "copy" the diagram to a new file to fix the corrupted Object ? I am using Win N/T 4.0 and LabView 6i. The module was originally designed using LabView 5.X and the Module appears to work OK after accepting the Error Messages.

I think the most complete discussion of this situation can be found in the NI KnowledgeBase. Just go to the main ni.com site, search for "insane object" and follow the first hit.
That KnowledgeBase entry was created with a lot of input from some of the LabVIEW developers, so it's a pretty good guide.

Insane object error does not resolve upon re-load

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AFA28DCC3DE89839862566B200594E8C
does not resolve this issue. Even when I close the VI & re-open it, I get the following error message:
I tried doing dozens of undo edits of the last 10 or 20 changes. None of them work. None of the suggested fixes work at all, either.
Worse yet, I can tell that my code is not what is looks like. It is not running the code that is on the diagram, it is running some previous version of the code.
Solved!

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like you've been on both ends of a serious error/crash resulting in code loss before.
As Murphy's Law would have it, it happened right before quitting time.
I decided to stick it out & make it a late night while I remembered most of my changes.
I quit & restarted LabVIEW, pulled the VI from a backup done the day before, opened up the backup version of the VI, opened up the bad code, and tried pasting changes in. However, I soon got oodles of "insane object" errors, and gave up on this route.
I quit & restarted LV, opened up the backed up VI, opened the bad new VI on a 2nd monitor (after configuring the display etc.), and manually re-drew (i.e., "re-wrote") all my code just by inspection.
This worked. (To play it safe, I also forced a system backup before going home, and saved lots of revs. along the way during my edits.)
I rarely have experienced "insane object" errors in my 10+ years of LabVIEW programming. Therefore, I have used little of other languages the past 10 years, and have developed so much re-usable code that I know well, I don't want to move away from it. It is quite unsettling / scary when it happens, especially on a large program. It makes me consider going back to text-based programming, where at least there's some inspection of all but the most messed up files (vim/binary mode, for example).
Anyway, I am on my way now, but will be even more diligent about "Save As" to save interim versions during long code writing sessions.
Also, I ran chkdsk per Apps Engr suggestion on a ticket I did later open after doing this post.
Thanks, Matt

The eig() instruction in my matlab script is causing an insane object error

I have matlab script in a vi that I want to use to calculate eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a large array. I started with a small array (3x3)and it calculated them incorrectly. However when i ran the same script in Matlab the correct values are returned. On top of that when I try and save the vi after running it I get an insane object error at FPHP+DC. I tried rewriting the vi without copying and pasting etc. but it wont go away. I then simplified the vi to simple integer addition and removed the eig()instruction and error doesn't appear anymore, so it seems that the eig() instruction is causing all of this and it isn't even giving the correct answers! Where does this leave me? I can't get the e
igenvectors using the Labview vi because the array i will using eventually is (944x944) and the labview vi gives me an error saying I have exceeded maximum iterations. This is why I am using Matlab in the first place.
Thanking you in advance!!

I had a similar error message come up in the jump from LV 7.1 to LV 8.0. It would cause a couple of hard crashes of Labview whenever I worked with one particular VI. I found it was related to a wizard lock control that I had created in LV7.1 using the HMI Wizard options of my DSC module. I actually had two such loops in my original program, one behaved, the other caused problems in the upgrade of the VI to LV 8.0.
I discovered this by creating multiple copies of the VI in LV 7.1 and deleting different block diagram elements from each and seeing which opened without error in 8.0 and which caused the problem until I finally discovered the problem piece of code. It was really a divide and conquer technique.
I liked how LV 7.1 HMI wizard automatically created code that I could unlock and modify as I needed. It seems that the HMI wizard was eliminated from the DSC module of LV 8.0 and 8.2. There were several other major changes in the behavior of the DSC module from 7.1 to 8.0 which I am still trying to learn.
If you can discover which control or what piece of code (hopefully it is only one) is causing the problem, perhaps you can delete it in the older file version, upgrade the VI, then recreate it in the newer version VI.

Insane Object Error - Image.cpp

Is any other LV8.2 user having problems with customizing controls?
I have only needed to do this today since the upgrade to 8.2, and am having a hard time. I have yet to come up with an exact method to reproduce this, but it's getting to be a big problem, as LV crashes about 60% of the time when I'm editing controls.
Is this a known issue? I did some digging but didn't find anything specific to my problem. I never had this problem with 7.1 (same hardware in my PC).

Insane object error(The string control not getting any values)

In LabVIEW 8.2 i am using the string control to get the text from the users, and initially there was no problem at the time of development it works perfectly, after building the installer,
these string controls are not getting any string input, it seems like a disabled one, but actually it was not disabled, when we try to click over that through the mouse,
that text inputting cursor was not blinking over there,I screen looks as below, some error messages are thrown from the LabVIEW like insane object error, even
now there was the same problem in the source code itself, what to do rectify this. Only this part generates error all other remaining screen panels are working perfectly.

This kind of problem can be a pain to locate. This often occurs when the wiring to or from a control or indicator is bery long, convoluted and hidden inside of structures or behind things. So first, you need to identify which VI specifically is generating the error by individually saving VIs and subVIs until you find the one that is generating the error. Now try and remember the last time that VI saved without a problem and what edits you made since then. Places where I have had this occur was when I drag-copied a control and a couple VIs into a small structure. Sometimes the wires would seem to conect up properly, but when I tried to save the VI I got this error. The solution was to disconnect all the wires associated with the VIs I had copied and rewire them.
Also, can you post the VI that is doing it? Shouldn't need the subVIs for this...

Insane Object errors

I'm suddenly getting a lot of insane object errors on my program, I've tried everything listed in the Knowledgebase topic. They're only wire and sgnl graphical errors, but they aren't resolving themselves. When I change constants in the program, more insane objects pop up.
It's a little bit frightening, please help.
-Capuchin

Hi Capuchin,
As you probably are aware from reading through that KB, insane objects mean your VI has become corrupt and you may need to rewrite your code.
I have some debugging tools I can use to try and debug this for you. Could you post your code please?
I also have the email you sent to UKSupport so I can contact you directly by email if you would prefer.
Kind regards,

Insane object error causes LabVIEW 6.0.2 to quit (crash)

When I made a small modification of the wiring diagram and try to save the vi, the insane object error comes up and trashed all the modification. If I restart LabVIEW and apply the same modification, I can usually save the vi without problem. But next time when a new modification is made, LabVIEW would crash again when I try to save the vi. I am running LabVIEW 6.0.2 under Windows 2000.

I have seen the same error as well. It has occured during edit sessions (attempts) on very large (complicated) diagrams when my video settings were at 1600x1200. I have discovered that the errors seem to be related to the video resolution settings AND the size of the block diagram. I have a Gateway twin-cpu workstation with a 1x AGP video card with 16MB of RAM; however, the problem only occurs at high resolution settings. If I set the video to 1024x768, the errors stop occuring. For those applications that require high-res settings, I code at low resolution, close the diagram, change to high resolution, and can work on the front panel with no problems.
PS...
I was able to freeze the screen during one of the failures and found that all of the objects were literal
ly extruded to the same heigth as the wires -- it was really bizarre! The computer was "locked up" so that a screen shot was not possible. I called NI tech support and was told it was a "most likely" a video card problem.

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
I have several movies from 2008 that are labeled as .mov but I now get a QuickTime error saying "The document "XXXXXX" could not be opened. A required Codec isn't available."
These movies ran in QuickTime just fine until about a month ago.
All the folders in which these movies were stored in 4 folders in 2 folders in one folder. All folders at each level were encrypted with Stuffit Deluxe a version circa 2008 and decrypted with a newer Stuffit Deluxe 10.x. Other movies that are NOT .mov and in with the .mov movies still run.
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
How can I fix this?
TOP image is the Error message.
BOTTOM image is the Thumbnail Preview info.
I've checked out "Tell Me More" and have not found a solution.

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
The basic work flow is to determine which codecs were used to create the non-playing file and then check to see if these formats are supported by your current system codec component configuration.
If the files will open in one of the QT player app, the open the inspector window to see which codecs were used to create the original file as seen here...
or here in the "Format" entry...
Or, if you have QT 7 keyed for "Pro" use, you can open the "Properties" window to gain even more information as demonstrated here...
if you file will not open in either of the QT Player apps, then you can try opening the Finder "Get Info" window for the file,
use a third-party media player that will open the file, or
use a dedicated media information utility to learn this information....
Once you know what codecs were used to create the file, post back with this information so we can deterine if the file should be natively supported by your Mac OS X install, requires an Apple Pro editing codec normally installed by the editor app, or requires a third-party codec which the user must supply.
These movies ran in QuickTime just fine until about a month ago.
All the folders in which these movies were stored in 4 folders in 2 folders in one folder. All folders at each level were encrypted with Stuffit Deluxe a version circa 2008 and decrypted with a newer Stuffit Deluxe 10.x. Other movies that are NOT .mov and in with the .mov movies still run.
Your information does not indicate whether or not the files actually played on the current system or were transferred from a different system which was properly configured for playbac, whether or not you recently upgraded your operating system/modified your codec component configuration by adding or deleting any codecs, whether your compound "Stuffing" of the files created corruption, etc.
As to MOV files the selves, this extension just implies the data was placed in the QT generic file container and the actually data could be of any compression format thathat was compatible with the codec component configuration for the system on which the files were created and could include natively supported system codecs, pro editing codecs, and/or third-party proprietary or hybrid codecs. (I.e., this is why we may need more information regarding the individual non-playing files.)
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
f you are referring to QuickLook (QL) then the technology is different than QuickTime (QT). In the former case, the system is playing representative data but not actually opening the file as QT does. Thus, there is always the possibility that the problem is in the file structure (atom) information. For instance, suppose someone merely changed the MOV file extension in the Finder rather than actually copying data to a real MOV file container. Then it is possible that the QT player app may be searching for a codec that is not supposed or expected to be supported in the MOV file container and, not finding it, issues the erroneous codec error message—especially since you did not inticate the source of the file you are trying to play or, in some cases, which QT player is now not playing the file.
In short, there are several possibilities here and not enough specific information.

Insane Object error while saving: Can i identify case from error message?

Hi,
I get the following message "Insane Object at BDHP+36C8c in "Data Logger.vi"{graphics}(0x80):Wire Segment (WIRE). I have seen errors like this in the past. It usually happens when the wire gets coiled like a snake or gets behind a place that cannot be viewed etc. The last time i had the problem, i had to delete the wire and rewire to have the problem solved. Is there any way for me to identify the case that has this wiring problem from the error description? I get this annoying dialog everytime i save my vi. Thanks for your time in advace.
Anand.

The message means there is a problem with an object on the block diagram (the BD of BDHP). Fixes include copying the diagram to a new VI, and randomly deleting objects and replacing them. You might also try pressing control-shift-run arrow on the VI to perform a binary recompile of the VI. It is a long shot but it is quick and easy do do. Ususally you will not see anything happen but occasionally LabVIEW can highlight the error or even correct it.

TS3694 how can i fix an apple support error 2 issue

my computer lets me install itunes however it say i cant run it because i need apple app support. how can i fix this error?

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
