Broken arrow but no errors?

I have a VI that has a broken run arrow but displays no errors when I
clicked the broken arrow. I can find no obvious errors on the diagram.
It was working fine and then I added another control to a cluster and it
started giving me the broken arrow. I removed the new control and I
still get the broken arrow.
Any help? I'm using LabVIEW 6.0i on Windows 98.
-Stephen

Unfortunately, it is possible for some node or control to break a VI,
but when
asked to elaborate, it doesn't give any reason. This is a bug,
hopefully one
that is fixed in the latest patch, but if not, it needs to be investigates.
You might want to upgrade to 6.02 first. If that doesn't fix it, you should
send the VI to NI technical support so that the bug can be investigated.

  • Labview crashes every time I click on a broken arrow (vi has errors).

    I just upgraded Labview from 7 to 8.5.1 a few weeks ago.  Now, when I press the broken arrow to check the errors in a vi, Labview crashes.  This is a vi that was developed using the state diagram toolbox under Labview 7.  I now have the state chart toolbox but not the state diagram toolbox.

    Try to disconnect the state diagram from the the state diagram (right-click on the main while loop).
    If that doesn't work in 8.5, try to do this in 7.1.
    Or install the state diagram toolkit in 8.5.

  • Excel toolkit --excel save.vi is broken arrow

    Ok, first -- do you have excel installed? Sorry, had to ask.
    It seems a little odd that you say the vi has a broken arrow and also gives
    you an error message. Does that mean that the vi will try to run even
    though it has a broken arrow but then it gives an error message, or do you
    mean that even without running it it gives an error message?
    I once had a vi with a broken arrow but no error in the error list window.
    I clicked the box to show warnings and it turned out that it was a warning
    that caused the broken arrow.

  • Why a VI has a broken arrow when I open it when labview is open but becomes executable when it is opened by double clicking

    I have a VI with some subVIs from a dynamic link library. When I open the VI using "open" or "open VI" in labVIEW, the VI is broken. In the error list,it saids one or all the subVIs from the dynamic link library are not executable. However, if I exit labview and open the same VI by double clicking it, it becomes executable without any change being made. Sometimes I can fix the broken arrow by configuring the "call library function node" in the subVI and saving it. But when I open the VI again, the same problem and error message appear. I am using labVIEW 6.1 for the top level VI and those subVIs from the dynamic link library could be developed in a different version of labVIEW. Is this the cause of the problem? Another possible reason I can think of is that somebody installed another application developed in labVIEW on the same computer. Is it possible that some settings were modified during the installation that cause this problem to occur? I am suspecting this because I first notice this problem after the installation of the other application.

    Since the problem started ocurring after installing another application, I would suspect something with that last installation. Without knowing more about the installations, I would not be able to help much. Did the other installation perhaps install another DLL of the same name? Try uninstalling the last app to see if the problem goes away.

  • I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

    I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

    Hi
    And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
    No exclamation marks there either ?
    and non at the front page ?
    iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
    Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

  • Report Generation Toolkit 1.01 and broken arrow

    Hi,
    I desperately need help because I need to build my application tomorrow morning for our production department and have trouble with the report toolkit.
    I am aware of your knowledge base entry regarding this problem. I already deinstalled and reinstalled the toolkit (version 1.0.1 for LV 6), and I checked the windows registry entries. Still, after mass-compile, the report generation toolkit VIs are not executable (broken arrow, invalid property node). I have LabVIEW 6.02, 7.0 and 7.1 on my computer and I am using the report generation toolkit version 1.0.1 with LabVIEW 6.02 and version 1.1 with LabVIEW 7.1. The application that I need to build is written in LabVIEW 6.02. What else can I do to get rid of the broken arro
    ws?
    Thanks in advance for your fast answer....
    Gabs

    Hi,
    the problem is the following: during the build error 1003 occures at ....\internal.llb\Word_New_Page.vi. Possible Reasons: LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. When I open my main VI, I see no broken arrow. When I force a mass-compile (Strg+Shift+Run button), the broken arrow appears suddenly. I can then see the following error message: Word Easy Text.vi is broken because Word Format Text.vi is broken because the Property Node Range\Style calls an invalid property. Actually, the property nodes in these VIs have NO properties and the invoke nodes NO methods.
    I know now that this is due to the fact that I need to build this application for a computer on which Word97 is running, so I installed the Report Generation Toolkit for Word97. But - on my developme
    nt computer where LabVIEW is installed Office XP is running, not Office97. If I install the Report Generation Toolkit for OfficeXP, no error occurs during the build, but the executable does not run properly on the target computer (when calling Word97).
    Question for NI: How am I supposed to build an executable using Microsoft Word Report Generation Functions if the target computer has Word97 installed but the development computer has WordXP installed???
    Please help,
    thanks,
    Gabs

  • Broken Arrow with Case Structure Input Selector

    Generally We get a broken arrow when a case structure 
    is wired incorrectly to its case selector .
    I found that even after this is fixed, the arrow remains broken.
    however when you click on the broken arrow, the VI 
    starts to execute instead of highlighting the error.
    Seems like a compiler Issue.
    I want to know if anyone has faced this issue.
    I am currently using LV 8.6

    I can confirm that. I HAve seen it with type defs as well as LVOOP classes.
    I have never been able to reproduce it on demand but it always seesm to be associated with situations where a type or class definition was changed. I think I have seen this issue on and off from LV 8.2 thru LV 8.6.

  • HT201299 Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

    Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   When I try to use Safari.
    Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Broken Arrow makes LV crash !!

    Hi,
    A while ago I excperienced a problem with activation of the broken arrow that made LV to crash.
    By simple activating the same functionality by using the menu selection "View->Error List"
    I found a work-around that worked fine, for a while.
    Now I back to square 1. I can not develop my code anymore.
    No help seems to be found.
    Does anyone have any idea what to do ?
    Regards,
    Mikael Ekman

    Hi GerdW,
    The problem is that there is no (visible) errors in the code.
    Without errors it is OK to run the and the arrow is solid.
    If I disconnect a wire the broken arrow appear, as it should.
    If I activated the LV crashes. That problem make development a hell.
    The code is big. Top VI about 3.5 Mb using roughly 50 sub VI.
    There has to be a built in problem in the LV.
    This problem suddenly appeared after upgrading to LV 8.2.
    Regards,
    Mikael Ekman

    Hi Leo22,
    Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

    I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open. It said LR would try and fix this error next time I opened it but the error remains. I tried uninstalled and installing the app and the error remains. I have windows 8. Can anyone please help???

    Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. The normal location is Pictures\Lightroom. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again, and Lightroom will begin building and new previews folder. Do not delete anything else.

  • In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field.   In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view.   What am I missing?

    Thanks for chipping in.   I discovered something after trying what you suggested.   I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard.  I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained.   If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears.   But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD.   So, I type "Classic Rock 1964,"  in the search field.  First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons.  Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more.   I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music.  When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD.   On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field.    So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field.   And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.
