'Control terminals on connector pane not on top level block diagram.' comment on CLD report

Hello All
Could anybody enlighten me please , what does that comment mean on CLD report
'Control terminals on connector pane not on top level block diagram.
Does it mean that some terminals are hidden within some case structures and not showing on block diagram without going into case structures or by 'top level block diagram' it means
main.vi and controls on main.vi must also be connected to its connector pane?
Thank you

For one thing it means that they run VI analyzer on your VIs since that is a verbatim warning that you receive. It simply means a terminal which is wired to the ConPane is not on the top level diagram, ie. inside a case structure.
As to why it is often not a good idea to do this read this classic thread:

Get Control Reference From Connector Pane

I am trying to get a reference to a control associated with a specific index on the connector pane. I see that there is a method to assign a control to a terminal but not get control from a specific terminal. I know I can list all controls on the connector pane, but this doesn't tell me specifically where they are.
Edit: I see there are private methods for getting and setting properties which may have this info, but because these are undocumented and they are properties of a VI which is binary, I can't reverse engineer.

The disconnect I had was that the array of controls that the connector pane property node will return has null refnums for unwired terminals, but there are still references for every terminal on the pane.
For learning about the terminals on an object, a good tactic is to drop the object on a diagram and select Visible Items > Terminals:
If you see completely enclosed terminal rects (like in the subVI terminals), then reading the "Terminals[]" property of the object will return all of them, even the null data type ones. So for the subVI, you can see that there are 12 distinct terminal rects, so that's how many terminals the object has. But on the built-in function, there are only 6 enclosed terminal rects. So reading the "Terminals[]" property on the subVI will return 12 items, and reading it on the function will return 6.

How can i NOT include top level keyword in the metadata of an image?

Hello,
I want to know how can i NOT include top level keyword in the metadata of an image. I know there is an option for not applying a keyword to an exported image, but is there an option for not applying the top level keyword to the actual image?
I have organized my geographical (by location) keywords like this:
Places
USA
New York
Miami
Spain.
If i add geographical keywords to all my images, all my images will have the keyword "Places", i dont think that it have any sence to have all your images with one keyword. How can i fix this? Any sugestion? i will appreciate it a lot any help or information that you could give me.
Excuse my english, i know it is not good. I hope that you could understand me.
Thanks,
Marcelo :)

Explicitly excluding a keyword only applies when "exporting". Unfortunately, there's currently no way to stop the keyword being written to the file when "Save Metadata to File" command is used. The natural reaction of users to this difference is to suggest that it is stupid. Nevertheless, there are good reasons why the difference exists:
1. "Export" creates a new file whereas "Save Metadata to File" writes the metadata back into the existing file.
2. There are very good reasons why certain keywords should not be written to file, and the example given in the OP is one. Saving metadata to file is more often used as means of backing up important image related metadata, independently of the catalog or allowing the metadata to be visible in other aplications. It would be rare that such a file would be shared with a third party, so the reason for not including certain keywords is less obvious. Actually, not including it can result in no end of confusion and grief. For example, if the top level (or any keyword) was excluded during the save metadata process then the other keywords would be orphaned when image is imported back into the catalog (e.g. buiding a new catalog).
The development team are aware of the need, in some circumstances, to exclude certain keywords when save metadata command is used. How and when the issue is resolved, without adding even more confusion/complexity, is some way off.

Content admin - iview not in top level navigation bar

Using my Administrator ID.
Also Portal Admin -> channel assigment not in top level navigation bar.
What role am I missing?

Hi,
The short answer to your question is that you need to add the relevant iView(s) and change the applicable role or iView properties to display in the areas necessary.
Generally you require the super admin role to structure other admin roles to the different types of admin roles in your enterprise with a default installation.
You could for example determine that your content admin receive more than just the default iView(s) applicable to them, and that you want those iView(s) to display as tabs, or only in the detailed navigational areas. This is a matter of personal preference and thus SAP allows you to customize this as you see fit.
I hope this helps.

Why do i get an empty output if i connect a control to the connector pane ?

hello everyone..
i must admit the behaviour of the following program somewhat blew my mind and made me doubt whether i had ever understood anything about programming in labview.
please have a look at the attached vi and it's subvi. i probe the output of debug.vi (result path) two times. once when it is connected as an indicator on the connector pane and once when it is not. then i run test.vi.
the prize question:
why don't i get identical values?
in the case "result path" is connected i get an empty path at some point. in the case "result path" is not connected i always get a value, something i thought should always be the case. what is happening?
Attachments:
test.vi ‏8 KB
debug.vi ‏9 KB
StateMachineStates.ctl ‏5 KB

There are a lot of questionable conde constructs that make very little sense.
Where do you actually probe the output (the subVI does not seem have any output connectors assigned)
Are the indicators big enough to avoid wrapping?
Why is the browse option set to "existing files", however, you are building a path from it. This will invariably give you an illegal path.
Instead of all these local variables, use a single feedback node.
Please provide an exact step-by-step procedure on what we should do to reproduce your observations. How can you possibly get a value in an indicator if it is not connected to anything?

Not all Top level folders showing item count

Hi there, I have Aperture 3.2.2 running on OSX 10.6.8.
I use referenced files and a folder structure with a top folder and projects nested.
Some of my top level folders when clicked, show ALL images in the projects nested below. Others do not. When I examine them in finder, nothing jumps out at me that is different. Have you any experience with this happening? Thanks, Deb

Here is a screen shot. Some of the blue folders will show all images nested in the projects below, some show nothing. ie: 2013 shows all, but 2012, shows nothing. You must click on each individual project to reveal the items contained. I would like to click on each top level folder and see all items nested beneath. There must be something I'm doing different, but for the life of me, can't figure it out. Why some show and some don't.

"Top level objects not released" warning when accessing LabVIEW adapter through API

I'm having a problem when using the TestStand API in LabVIEW: I'm trying to get the VI path for a TestStand test step, but I'm getting the "Top level objects not released properly" warning. It doesn't look like I'm forgetting to close something, but obviously I am. Snippet is below, and warning text follows. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using LabVIEW 2010 and TestStand 2010.
This forum has been a huge help. Thanks to everyone!

References to PropertyObjects were not released properly. Total number of objects: 418 Number of top-level objects: 7
Note: Some top-level objects may be included if they are referenced by an incorrectly released top-level object. For example, an unreleased SequenceContext object references a SequenceFile object.
The following top-level objects were not released:

Type Definition #2: Name: VIParameter
Type Definition #3: Name: VIParameterElement

Yep, that worked. I thought that Variant To Data was just converting the module reference to the LabVIEWModule data type, but apparently I was wrong... This TS leak checker is sure making me learn about how to properly close references... I've been programming memory leaks for years!
I was also having problems with LabVIEW crashing after the VI ran, and fixing the order of the close references fixed that, too.
Working code is below.

Resizing controls in top level VI

In the LabVIEW8 version of the TestStand3.5 OI, in the Top-Level VI, there is a call to FULL OI - Resize Controls.vi. If I (at the top-level VI) set the VI properties in Window Appearance::customize:: and uncheck the show vertical/horizontal scrollbars, thus disallowing the user to resizer the OI, do I need the Resize Controls.VI?

Hi MrBean,
I would recommend to leave the Resize Controls.VI there because even though you have disabled the scrollbars there are other things that can affect the control sizes such as Windows themes, using large fonts, etc.

Top level application structure with parallel data acquisition

Hey all LabVIEW-forum members!
I have some experience programing LabVIEW, but mostly concerning smaller for the simplest form of data acquisition. Now I need to develop a larger application that might be continuously run for several weeksin a row and for that reason I woiuld like to make sure the application structure is stable! I turn to you in hope of some input regarding the most suitable approach to my problem or some pointing in a good direction.
-The project involves making hardware communication with a few different hardware interfaces, such as GPIB and NI’s DAQ-card (analog and digital reads/writes on PCI-6221).
-Save acquired data to disk.
-The communication and data save are based on condition of elapsed time (for example there could be a need to make parallel analog measurements med DAQ-card every 5th minute but GPIB-measurements every 30th second).
-At the mean time I would have to regularly the status of the test object and update the user interface. (However, while in test the user won’t be allowed to interact with the application other than to monitor the UI or pause the test).
The project isn’t really time critical (in case I need to make one type of data-acquisition while another one is already initiated, they can be carried out in sequence).
I’ve started with programmatically control the user interface by using the “Top Level Application Using Events”-template and produced code that will let the user set up a new test or load an existing test. All the data concerning the status and configuration of the test I’ve saved in two clusters that can be passed along to different events.
I’ve reserved one subdiagram in the event structure for the actual execution of the test. It is the structure of this subdiagram I am a bit confused about…
Could I use another while-loop/event-structure inside this subdiagram and use user-registered events for the different data acquisition? Or is there some type of state-machine that is better suited to monitor time elapsed and can make a transition to a suitable state when it’s time to make any of the hardware measurement required? It would be nice to avoid using polling loops but maybe that is best way to go?
I’ve checked the “Continuously Generate Occurrences.vi”-example and that might be a way to go? What seems to be good with this approach is that I could let the different parallel hardware acquisitions actually be parallel, right?
I am really confused right now, hope someone has some helpful inputs!

Opening a Remote Panel of the Top Level vi for an executable

Hello Everyone
I was wondering how you would open up a remote panel for the top-level vi in an executable?
I have created a LabVIEW application and have tested opening the remote panel when it is running in the full labview development suite - this all works fine. I simply go operate>connect to remote panel and enter the server address, the port (8000) and the vi name using the path "My Project.lvproh/My Computer/main.vi" format.
However, if I then build this application into an executable I do not seem to be able to open a remote panel - it might be that I am just entering the VI name incorrectly.
with VI name = "main.vi" or with VI name = "C:\builds\main.exe\main.vi" and the exe. running I get the error:
Connecting to remote panel server...
Requested VI is not loaded into memory on the server computer
However I am not sure how else I would enter it.
The main.ini has the following configuration:
server.app.propertiesEnabled=True
server.ole.enabled=True
server.tcp.acl="0800000008000000"
server.tcp.enabled=True
server.tcp.paranoid=True
server.tcp.port=6363
server.tcp.serviceName=""
server.vi.access=""
server.vi.callsEnabled=True
server.vi.propertiesEnabled=True
WebServer.Enabled=True
WebServer.TcpAccess="c+*"
WebServer.ViAccess="+*"
DebugServerEnabled=True
DebugServerWaitOnLaunch=False
Both machines have LabVIEW 2011 Profesional Development System SP1 on so I do not think it is a limited remote access licence issue.
Any suggestions as to where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
Cheers
John
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It appears that you can infact use remote panels within an executable.
The problem I had was that I had left the web server port for the remote panels the same as the LabVIEW development environment. That meant that the main LabVIEW web server was getting in the way of the web server that was associated with my built application.
With the application's web server on a different port and the VI in memory (and the file in a library/directory external to the exe if it is not the top level VI), you just need to specify the VI name such as main.vi .

Top Level Navigation Invisible for Administrator in EP6.0

I have installed SAP NetWeaver 2004s SP16, EP6.0 and Developer Studio 2.0.16. But When I log on to portal using Administrator user id, I am not getting Top Level Navigation. I also tried other user id's. Please provide me solution. Thanks in advance.

I suggest you login to Visual Administrator and check if Administrator is part of Administrators Group. You can find this by going into Services > Security Provider > User Management. Search for Administrator and check if he is part of Administrators group.
If not add it, by default Super Admin Role is assigned to Administrators group. Once you get this role you should see all the navigational Tabs.
Hope this helps.

Did 10.6.5 alter the permissions of the top level of the startup volume?

Since applying the 10.6.5 update it seems that non-admin users have read/write access to the top level directory of the startup volume. That means that non-admin users can create items there.
I am wondeing if this is a normal change for 10.6.5 or if something is weird with my system.
We updated from 10.6.4 via Software Update. This machine has only ever had Snow Leopard installed on it.
(Note that top level sub-folders such as Library and System do not appear to be affected by this)

Are you referring to the ownership and privileges for the drive? If so then if they aren't set at the default it's because of something a user has done because the installer makes no such changes. You can return them to the default as follows;
1. Select the drive and Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.
2. In the Ownership and Sharing section at the bottom is a checkbox labeled, "Ignore permissions on this volume." If the box is checked then click on the lock icon and authenticate. Uncheck the box.
3. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder and enter the following command then press RETURN:
sudo chown root:admin "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
You will be asked to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
If you now click onto the still open Get Info window you should now see the proper info:
Owner=system with r/w privileges
Group=admin with r/w privileges
Everyone is read-only
Click on the lock icon to prevent any changes. Close the window then quit the Terminal.

Format Text tab is missing from Edit on Top Level Site home page

Hello,
Hoping for some help - not sure where to go with this.
I've been working on a SharePoint site for my company.
I need to change the top level site main page text layout to 3 columns.
I am pretty sure I was able to do this a few days ago but now when I edit the page the Format Text tab is not there.
I can get it on all my sub sites, just not the top level site.
I must have screwed this up somehow but I haven't a clue as to how to get it back.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
It sounds as though the site template for your root web is a team site or general collaboration site that is using content pages stored in the sitepages library. Is that correct? If you are using publishing features than you could set a custom layout in
the "pages" tab, but it sounds as though you do not have this feature.
A workaround could be to create a new page with 3 columns, copy your homepage content to this new page and finally set the new page as your homepage.

A new top level site was created successfully but won't launch. What can be the cause for this?

A site collection was created with the URL intranet.contoso and it was added to the DNS as intranet.contoso. The top-level site was created successfully after that with the URL being
http://intranet.contoso/main but it is not launching and the following is the error message -
This page can't be displayed.
This will be a production environment so disabling the security loopback will not be an option. Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,

I can connect only to the SharePoint Central Administrator from the client computer but not the top level site.
The error i'm getting is This page can't be displayed.
Make sure the web address http://contonsoportalis correct
Look for the page with your search engine
Refresh in a few minutes
Fix connection problems - When clicked the following shows up "Make sure the computer or device is turned on and connected to the network" Windows can't find contosoportal. If the computer or device you are trying to reach is nearby,
make sure it is turned on and connected to the network. Otherwise contact your network administrator for assistance.
The DSN already had a host created for an intranet that is running SharePoint 2010 called intranet so I created a new host (A and AAA) named it Portal insert the ip address of the new sharepoint 2013 server but it still didn't work.
This is the configuration shown in the DNS
Host A Tab -
Host (uses parent domain if left blank)
Portal.contoso.local
IP address: 192. X.X.X for the SharePoint Server
( Should I create a CNAME instead of a new host for the portal? )
I added the host names in the register but it still does not work....
It's a virtual environment running on top of hyper V - One server for SharePoint another for SQL and both joined to the DC.

ASDoc: Top Level Package

Hi folks,
after searching around quite a while without success I am
wondering if you could help me with a question.
We have documented our code and used the "-package" parameter
with asdoc for our package description. However, how can we add the
description of the Top Level package into ASDoc? With the
"-package" parameter I can only address "real" packages, but not
the Top Level package.
Thanks for your help!
