Broken Wire? (SBS 5.1 560)

First off, I've had this SBS 5.1 560 sound system for about a year and a couple months.
As time went on, it got to the point with my SBS 5.1 560 speaker setup that the sound from my left speaker would "crack in and out" occasionally. By messing with the position of the volume control thing (bending it), I would get the sound to play properly. I assumed something happened to the wire.
NOW, the sound is completely unattainable out of that speaker. I think the wire may have fully severed, or something along those lines. All I know is that it is physical, involving the wire.
I considered stripping and soldering the wire, but there are a number of problems with that:
1) I don't know which wire it is.
2) I don't want to damage the system to the point of hopelessness
3) I'm sure there are other things I haven't thought of
I guess my biggest concern is FINDING the wire that is broken. On the volume control thing, there is one wire that is separate from the rest, and then a combination of 3 little wires. I wish I didn't have to strip that, but Murphy's Law might come into play.

The speakers system does not depend on the bundled software to achieve 5.1 surround. Most sounds that you will play within windows are stereo. This means that they are encoded with left and right signals only.
Do you have a Creative sound card installed in this new PC?
If so, what happens when you enable CMSS?

Deleting broken wires crashes Labview 2010

Hi
I am down to earth after
enjoying all the nice features of LV 2010.
I randomly encounter
hour-glass hang-up when I try to delete broken wires. This is really
unpredictable as far as I have watched. I t happens if click on a broken with
the mouse or when I select a couple of those. It does not happen, if I use
ctrl-b.
When you try to delete it,
the hour glass comes up and the window is no longer refreshed.
I use the task-manger to
kill LV after
that a wild hard disk action starts, whoever initiates that ??
After LV-restart I usually
can recover a lot, but this make RAEL work almost impossible.
I a running an English LV
2010f2 on a German WinXP professional.
And Please, please patch
this as soon as possible.

Hi Gabi,
I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying LabVIEW 2010! Can i ask what is the specifiation of the computer you are using it on?
This is because it might be that your computer doesn't have enough memory for this program.
Also there is a patch for LabVIEW 2010, in this link.
Hope this helps!

Create Callback VI for IMAQdx Event - Broken Wire

My application is using IMAQdx to communicate with a Basler camera. When my camera is triggered with a digital trigger, it sends out an event when exposre finishes. I can use this event to know when to grab an image.
I have a working VI that uses an event structure to handle this event and pull the image. Using an event structure in my main application will not work for my arcitecture, though, so I need to do a callback VI upon event generation.
I have been trying everything to get a callback VI to work, but it seems LabVIEW thinks that the callback VI doesn't match the input to the "Register Event Callback." I have tried everything ranging from making my own VI to match the exact inputs to just using "Create Callback VI" by right-clicking. No matter what I do to the VI, there is a broken wire.
See attached VI's. The callback VI is unnecessary because it is just a blank VI that was generated.
Any help with this would be highly appreciated!
Thank you,
James

It looks like your code is looking for a TypeDef called CtlRef. I don't know if this is part of the IMAQdx spec, or something you need to provide, but providing it should get rid of the broken arrow.

I have tried to wire a "get waveform components" to my WDT signal, but I get a broken wire.

I an answer to a previous question I was told that I needed to wire my WDT signal to a "get waveform components" to seperate out the time stamp, but the second that I connected the wire I got a broken wire, with the comment that the two were of different data types. Where am I going wrong? and what is it that I don't understand? I have the vi file attached below.

AI Read returns a waveform array. Each element in the array is for a single channel. Even if you're acquiring a single channel, an array is returned. What you need to do is use index array function first before wiring it to the Get Waveform Components.

Broken Wire ---- FPGA Interface Node Error

Hi there,
I am programming my RT application and I am getting this weird error:
As you see, I am trying to set the value to a FPGA control (which is a typedef enum) and I am getting this broken wire strange
for me, error.
I was looking for a solution in the forums but I wasn´t able to get one.. Anyone could help me??
Thanks!!
PS: The error message was like "The type of the sink is void" which is untrue because is already defined in the FPGA vi.
Solved!

Solved.
To who may concern, it was like I changed some of the typedefs and didnot have that in mind. A recompilation solved the issue.

2011 9501 C-Series Example broken wire/property

Hello,
I'm trying to run the 2011 Position Control (open loop) example for the 9501 module, but it is showing a broken connection to the "Time Interval" property of the "Straight-Line Move" property node in the "Calculate Move Profile" VI. I've searched and the Time Interval property is not listed as a property of Straight-Line Move.
I'm running 2011 Softmotion Standard, is this simply an issue of not having Premium, or is this an actual problem with the code that I can fix. If so any advice on where to start? Thanks

Wandering,
As long as you have the Soft Motion and Real Time modules installed, there should be no reason why a broken wire should appear when the Calculate Move Profile.vi is opened. If the Real Time module is not installed, then every wire to this property node would be broken, not just the Time Interval.
This could indicate that a particular file or dll is missing. I would attempt to try a repair on the installation of both of these modules, restart your computer, and then see if the example opens up correctly.
If you are still able to use the 2010 example, you could easily fix this reported issue with the incorrect Mechanical Action by referring to this NI White Paper, and look at item #288167 under Axis Interface. This describes the simple work around necessary in order to fix this small error.

Broken wire : Refnum Class diagram objet

Hi,
Many times on my applications. On several computers, different project and LabView version (2011 to 2014).
A "Refnum Class diagram objet" needs to be "updated" because its wire is broken.
The attached example shows a valid WaveformChart Refnum class reference which is suddenly and aleatory "broken" and needs to be reset. Otherwise the vi is broken ...
(In the example attached the Refnum "selected" by labview ar Control and "XControlTREE", the problem has no relation with its existence.)
Thank you
Best regards,
Ulysse

Hi Gerd,
I have had problems in the past with passing control references into subVIs. I had these problems because the strict control reference is often incompatible with a non-strict refnum control, or a strict refnum control of the wrong type. For example, if you have a multi-selection listbox, but you try to wire that control reference to a listbox reference associated with a scalar datatype (single-selection), you will get a wiring error.
The easiest solution for these problems is to right-click on the control reference and choose Create > Control. Then, copy this control into your subVI and use it as the subVI input. I think this will solve your class conflict problems.
If this doesn't work right, let me know and we can talk further...attachi
ng a sample LLB that demonstrates the problem would be helpful.

Broken wire

context help: you have connected two terminals of different types.
the type of the source is 1-D array of boolean.
the type of the sink is boolean.

Feels like a broken record. Here is what I have posted before for a similar question.
An understanding of what the data represents is important, and knowing this will likely answer your question for you.
Lets say you have a single analog reading of 5 volts. This is a scalar double. Now you want to graph it so you grab the Waveform Graph and put it on the front panel. But when you wire your 5V reading to the graph it says you need to provide a 1D array. This makes sense when you realize the graph is intended to display many values at once, not just one value. This is why it wants an array of values to put on the graph all at once.
A single reading can be turned into an array using the Build Array function, but it is still just a single reading. If you wired a 5V reading to a build array then to the graph it would run, but what would you see? Nothing because the graph can't display a single point of data, it needs multiple values. So you could try to build previous 5V readings into the array so you have multiple values to display at once.
You need to understand why you have a 1D Array of Booleans, and you need to understand why your function needs a single boolean. Then you can realize how to fix it.

Weird network stream broken wire

Well, we decided to use network streams. Here is a strange one. Can anyone explain this one to me? I have resorted to transposing the data external to the process that receives it so a transpose doesn't have to be done in the receiver, which is resulting in a broken run arrow.
Full disclosure, this project we are required to use LabVIEW 2011, haven't tested in newer versions.

Does apple cover a broken wire

HI I have an iPad mini and after like a month or two the lightning wire isn't working... Does apple trade you for a new one?

They probably will if it doesn't show signs of abuse.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Powerbook g4 right hinge broken pink wire broken...

well as the title states the right hinge on my powerbook is broke, and theres a pink wire broken. my screen is not viewable at all unless i put a flashlight to it. is this an easy fix at all...if i take it into a repair shop? just wondering if its worth the $ to fix.

It is not a trivial repair, since you report a broken wire. The right hinge of the Titanium powerbooks carries the cable from the inverter to the backlight, so if your book is a Titanium model, that explains why you have no backlight. Hinges themselves can be replaced. I just swapped both hinges in my slightly older unit with the not-inexpensive steel replacements from Powerbook Medic. We'll see how they hold up, compared to the aluminum originals.
With a broken wire, though, you are looking at replacing the inverter cable, which is even more involved than replacing just a hinge and might involve some serious disembowelment of the machine, as otherwise you will be likely unable to actually get the cable fished through the back of the upper case. This was my "older" TiBook just before replacing the display about five years ago. Note the important off-camera location in the blue arrow.
The situation can be handled, but not without serious effort.

Cinima hd monitor A1082 dvi cable broken

the dvi connector from the monitor has 2 broken wires. i need either the dvi connector wiring diagram or where to get a new or second hand cable. apple tell me this cable is not available through themselves and a google search finds no results. please can someone help as i do not want to throw this away because of 2 broken wires

Hey there - I have the same problem - mine was cut off and when I took it to apple to resolve they basically told me to throw it away. Searching today I found this link which should hopefully solve my issue.

Inspire T3000 - Speaker Wire Broke

Ok, you can laugh all you want, but I doubt this is the first time something like this has happened.
I bought my Inspire T3000's on 2/7 and I'm very pleased with them. However, my cat chewed through one of the speaker wires and I'm interested in purchasing a single T3000 speaker to replace it. How should I go about doing this? I did not find any way to purchase spare or replacement parts via the creative website, but I am sure there is a way they can accommodate me.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Okay I will not lye I did laugh lol because I know cats love to chew on our technology but if you did not want to wait for the replacement wire just fix it yourself and I will walk ya through that below.
First cut the 2 ends nice and even the peel each side of the wire back so you can peel there coating off now one will be Black and the other Red on both ends of the cut in half wire one will be positive + Red or White and the other will be Negative - Black just cut the other end of that broken wire like you did one side then match the colors togeather like a puzzle then twist the wires togeather then if you want I preferr solider but if you can't get ahold of this the electrical tape will do just tape the wires up so they can't touch eatch other and when your done they will work fine and withstand minors pulls and tags but not cats
hope this is better help to you

Replace from clipboard, or "connect overlapping wires" ?

I am going back through many of my early block diagrams and cleaning up the code
with things that I've learned since I started using Labview. A lot of this involves deleting
objects, then copy/paste from a good reference design into the old design.   However,
this often leaves a lot of broken wires to clean up.    For example, where I had individual
enums that are used throughout the design I am replacing them with typedef enums.
(I could not get the typedef controls to show up in my functions palette, but that's a matter
for a different post)
As it is my only choices appear to be "replace->Select a VI->[.llb file]->typedef->[OK]",
or delete the old one, paste in the new one, ctrl-B and re-wire. That second option seems
to go faster than the first one. But in either case it's a lot of click and drag to replace one
control, and there are scores of them to be done.
So the wire routing is identical, but it takes time to hook them all back up.
Is there any way to tell LV to "re- connect broken wires that overlap pins",
either globally or within a specified area?
Or is there a way to simply "replace from clipboard"?
Thanks and Best Regards,
-- J.

Oh, dear, I think I hit "solved" too soon. I had used search and replace before for *text*, but not for *objects*.
It turns out that the object search is rather primitive. For example, I can find *all* FP controls, but I cannot find a *specific* FP control by name (no, not the label text, the object itself).   Also, when searching for FP controls, I can replace *all*, but I cannot replace individually selected controls. And the search results to not list the controls' labels, so I can't know which ones to individually select anyway. So I'm afraid this search/replace function has quite a ways to go before it is usable for this purpose.
Thanks and Best Regards,

What versin of LV aare you using?
A method that can speed things up is to copy the type-def'd object into your clipboard then click on the object that needs replaced to select it then hit "ctrl-v" to replace the previous with the new. That will save you having to re-wire then nodes.
If you really want to un-mark a solution flag you can use the options drop-down to un-mark it. I still think Lynn's suggestion counts as a solution.
