Cluster constant appears empty in printout

I'm using Labview 8.2 and I have to print a large block-diagram which has several cluster constants in it. The problem I encountered is that only the contents of the cluster constants that are visible on screen are also visible on the printout. This bug can't be reproduced in Labview 6.
Steps to reproduce (see zip-files for pictures):
1) create an cluster constant and fill it with constants
2) let it be fully visible in the block diagram window (Bug in Labview 8.2 - fully - screen.png)
3) print out the block diagram to html
4) observe that all the contents of the cluster are visible (Bug in Labview 8.2 - fully - output.png)
5) drag (with the scroll tool) the block diagram so that only a quarter of the cluster is visible in the block diagram window (Bug in Labview 8.2 - partly - screen.png)
6) print out the block diagram to html
7) observe that only the contents of the cluster that were visible in the window are also visible on the picture of the block diagram (Bug in Labview 8.2 - partly - output.png)
Is this a known bug?
And is there a workaround for this problem? (Other than making a screenshot of every cluster constant and combining that with the whole image.)

Error cluster constant appears different in two locations on a block diagram

I am a newbie to LabVIEW. I have taken Core 1 & 2 and Machine Vision and I have not com across this before.
The image on the right is obviously an Error cluster constant used in the block diagram to create an Error cluster and wire it to an error out terminal. As far as I can tell the image on the left is about the same thing, but why does it look different? The different appearance causes raises a concern that there is a difference in behavior that I do not understand. LabVIEW help suggets that both are Error constants. When I create a new error constant, it always ends up appearing like the right image above. I have not been able to create someting looking like the image on the left.
Could someone please confirm what the image on the left is on a blck diagram?
Thanks,
Bill
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The image on the left is an error cluster control. It has a front panel presence and can be set either via the front panel or through a property node or local variable. The image on the right is an error cluster constant. It is a static value.

Mapped network drive appears empty for all users on one computer

We have several network drives mapped via a batch file at log in. On one particular Windows 7 computer one of these drives maps but appears empty. Manually mapping to the drive and assigning a different drive letter makes no difference but manually
mapping by entering the IP address allows viewing and accessing the contents.
The malfunctioning network drive is also using Hosted BranchCache. The following settings are set in local group policy:
(\Network\BranchCache)
Turn on BrancheCache - Enabled
Set BranchCache Hosted Cache Mode - Enabled - <servername>
Configure BranchCache for network files - Enabled - 0
The servers involved are running Windows Server 2012.
I am at a loss here and will appreciate any suggestions.

With Offline Files disabled the contents of the mapped drive are visible and accessible. Unfortunately, Offline Files must be enabled for BranchCache to work.
Looking in the Event Viewer at “Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\OfflineFiles\Operational” I can see that the mapped network drive transitioned to slow link during high latency but has never transitioned back.

MacBook Pro says "startup disk full" and that I have 58GB of photos, but folder appears empty

For the past couple of days, I've been getting the message that I'm unable to save/download something because the startup disk is full. I checked the storage and the main problem appears to be 58.7 GB of photos, even though I've deleted all photos I could find (including iPhoto). I checked all of the folders on Finder, only to find my picture one taking up most of the space, but when I tried to view what was inside it appeared empty, and it wouldn't let me move the folder to trash. Any help on how to delete the contents of the folder?
Thank you

Issue: installed Adobe Reader XI, Norwegian version, existing pdf will not open or appear empty

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, but I still have the same issue. Adobe automatically gives me the Norwegian version as I live in Norway. When I open existing pdf files they appear empty, and automatically close themselves after a few seconds.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Your input is highly appreciated!
Thank you.

Make a JComboBox With JTextField Appear Empty?

greetings all
i have a JComboBox With a JTextField
and the JComboBox Always Appear with the First value in the array or in the vector
but i want it to appear empty when the program runs,how to do that?

You only want to do that if you want to allow the user to select the null value in the course of running the program. If not, Joerg22's solution is the correct one.

My Events Suddenly appears empty

After I finish editing a photo, when I click back on the event name, the event appears empty.
When I go back to all events, and then click on the event, it remains empty
When I switch events within an event, using the arrows at the top right, the event repopulates.
If I close iPhoto and re-open it repopulates.
Anyone else experience this?

Ok, so this is iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) showing an Event that actually has 280 photos in it. Notice anything missing? Jump out of Full Screen mode. Even the buttons in the top-right corner to change Event aren't working properly, because they're not white and clickable.

Itunes library appears empty

I have about 5GB of music but all of a sudden my itunes library appears empty... I am pretty sure the music is still in my computer but I can't access it.
Windows XP

do you know where on your machine the files are at (start in "my computer", then into your hard drive, and so on)??? If you do then make sure that the directory that itunes has for your music is the same as where they are actually at. If you can't find them do a search for "all files and folders" using an audio extension such as .mp3 or .aac and see if you can locate where they are at.

After uninstalling Google Toolbar, Bookmarks Toolbar appears empty (but they exist in Organize Bookmarks)

On uninstalling Google Toolbar Extension and restarting Firefox, the Bookmarks Toolbar appears empty, but the Bookmarks do still exist in Organize Bookmarks.

Apparently, while moving around buttons on the Navigation Toolbar, I accidentaly dragged "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" off the Bookmarks Toolbar. I didn't even know you could do that.
To fix it, I just went to "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout..." and dragged it back from the "Customize Toolbar" interface.

Music directory appears empty, but it's

I have a Creative Zen 32 GB.
Firmware version .2.0
Contains about 7 GB of music
I've had it for about 3 weeks, and it worked great until last night.
I listened to it for awhile yesterday afternoon, and then went to add some new music yesterday evening and ran into problems.
I opened Windows Explorer to 'drag and drop' the new mp3's and the Music directory appeared empty from within WE. I've added new music this way previously, and I was able to see all the subfolders of mp3's on my Zen; it looked just like browsing folders with? WE on my computer.
I unplugged the Zen, and verified that the music was still in the player, and it was.
I plugged it back in, and tried the Zen Media Explorer. I ran into the same problem. The music directory appeared empty when I tried to browse it from the ZME.
I went back to Windows Explorer and tried dragging and dropping a folder of new songs into the Music directory.
It acted like it was copying them, but afterwords, WE still read the directory as empty.
I unplugged the player and checked the music list, and the new songs were on there.
I thought maybe it was my home computer (Dell Dimension 8250 running Windows XP w/ SP2), so I tried my work computer today (Dell Optiplex 755 running Windows XP w/ SP2), and got exactly the same results. Tried both Windows Explorer and Zen Media Explorer, and neither one would view the contents of the Music directory on the Zen.
I downloaded the Recovery Tool and ran it. It upgraded the firmware, but that was all it did. I went back into Windows Explorer and Zen Media Explorer and there was no change. They both still show the directory as empty.
It seems like the problem is within the Zen player, since I've run into the same behavior on two different computers.
Has anyone out there run into a problem like this?

Hi,
(first of all: sorry for my bad English!)
I have the same exact problem, the music files stills in the Player (with the Folder Icon too) and the Zen still them correctly, but in the Media Explorer the Music Directory Is Empty.
Plus all the Videos and DataFiles (no multimedia files) have totally deleted from the player!!! (how it is possible?)
In this scenario (files in the Player but not showed in the Zen Music Folder) i've add some new files (with the Creative Media Explorer), the player correctly puts these new files in the list togheter with existing files, but in the Media Explorer -> Music Folder i can see only the new added files.
If i select Properties from Windows it tells me the right free space available (even if i couldn't see the files).
There is something i can do instead of Format the Player? (i've update the firmware but didn't change the situation)
Zen 8GB fw:.2.0e, no SD in the Player.
Thanks

Bootcamp partition appears empty to mac after restore...

I recently chose to upgrade the HD in my 2007 macbook, in order to squeeze another year or 2 out of it. Setting up the mac part was no problem - just used superduper to copy the old disk to the new one while it was temporarily mounted in an external drive, then replaced the disk - worked perfectly.
The bootcamp partition is another story. I did a bunch of research on how to best transfer my old windows 7 setup, and found the windows system backup and restore method was advised, and easy, so went with that method. Ran boot camp assistant, had it create the new ntfs partition the same as the old one, and ran the system restore from the windows setup disk, and it worked fine. Windows 7 works just as it once did, and I ran the bootcamp driver setup again just in case. Everything appears hunky dory on the windows side of things, and I can easily boot back into the mac os from it.
So everything appears ok, but here's the problem - once I return to mac os, the bootcamp partition appears empty, and I don't have the option to boot to it via the Startup Disk in System Preferences, which is how I always used to boot to windows. I can still get into windows via the bootcamp assistant, but that's a really tedious affair that involves inserting the windows disk.
Edit - I should add that I can also get into windows by using the option key during startup, that seems to work ok. But I still can't access the files in the bootcamp partition, which is a big problem - can this be fixed?
Any ideas?
Message was edited by: sduck409

Thanks for the many ideas Hatter. I think you jogged my brain in the right direction. I tried the convert to ntfs thing, but the windows install already thinks it's ntfs. And since the disk is actually formatted as fat32, the fat is screwed up. I actually knew that thing about boot camp assistant only creating fat32 (once, a while ago), but forgot that detail in my hurry.
So I ran bootcamp assistant, and deleted the bootcamp partition, with the idea of starting again. Ran bootcamp assistant again to restart the process, but this time it said Bootcamp assistant can not run - this disk is not supported. Hmmm. I had already inserted the windows disk and my windows backup volume.
SO I figured I'd try restarting my computer; maybe that'd reinitialize the disk or something and bootcamp assistant would work. Hey, stranger things have worked in the past. But, for some reason the windows disk started up! And started copying files. I aborted it, but it was too late - it had somehow mangled my mac disk - it was now a empty fat32 disk - I had to reboot from the mac os x setup disk and run disk utility to find this out. So now I'm restoring from my time machine backup (I absolutely love time machine btw).
The backup is going to take another 3 hours, so to get some stuff done I resurrected an old sony vaio win xp laptop that dates from 2000 I think. Holey moley, this thing is crappy.
Anyway, thanks for the help. Once I get the machine back up and running, I'll try it again, and this time make sure the disk is actually ntfs before restoring to it.

'build waveform' in cluster-constant not possible?

I would like to read a 2d-array of a cluster from file that contains - beside 4 clusters - a waveform.
As far as I understand, you have to determine the byte-stream-type for the "read-file" operation.
In order to do so I tried to generate a 2d-array-constant that contains the cluster mentioned above with all values as empty constants.
But soemhow it doesnt seem to work for "build waveforms". I am not able to put the waveform inside the cluster!?
Any ideas so far?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

I'm a lttle confused. You can put a waveform datatype inside a cluster and put that cluster inside an array and make that array multi-dimensional. This is all easily done on the front panel. Putting a function like "Build Waveform" inside a cluster doesn't work any more than trying to put an arithmetic function inside a cluster. Clusters hold valid datatypes, not functions. If I've misunderstood your problem, could you explain a little more?

What is the difference between String Constant and Empty String Constant

What is the difference between string constant which does not contain any value and the Empty string constant?
While testing a VI which contain a normal string constant in VI analyzer, it gives error to change string constant with the empty string constant?
Please Reply

Readability.
Functionally, they are the same. From a coding standpoint, the Empty String Constant is unambiguous.
It is empty and will always be; good for initialization. Also, because you can not type a value into and Empty String Constant, someone would need to conciously replace it to set a 'default' value that is something other than NULL.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

All iPhoto events appear empty in "Event" view

When I view my iPhoto 11 library by "Events", I get the usual listing of all my events, and I am able to scroll through the preview pictures at this level within the individual small Event icon. The key photo shows as normal. However, if I double click on an event, the event comes up but without any photos showing, not even an empty grey window frame for each photo. The name of the event shows correctly but on the top right corner it simply says NO PHOTOS.
Now the strange thing is that if I view the library by "Photos" or "Faces" or via Albums etc, I see all my photos and they all appear to be in their corresponding events as normal. I can even right click on one of my photos and click "Show Event" and then the correct event comes up with all the photos showing. But if I then go back to "All Events", I will see all the events but if I select one (even one I have just viewed), it will then say NO PHOTOS.
I have deleted the plist files (included the "locked" ones) from both iPhoto and Aperture but this doesn't resolve the problem. I've also done a "Repair Permissions", "Rebuild Thumbnails" and "Rebuild Database" from the iPhoto First Aid menu (Opt-Cmd Click when opening iPhoto) and none of these have fixed the problem!
I just recently started using Aperture to view the same Library and I have no problem viewing the "Projects" (which is the same as Events in iPhoto) in the normal way. I have a feeling that this problem started only when I first opened the iPhoto library in Aperture.
Any ideas?

You don't need to purchase iPLM to use it to rebuild the library. But try this first: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
