CRASH: Replacing enums in statecharts can bring LabVIEW 2012 down

Environment
Windows 8 64-bit, LabVIEW 2012 32-bit
Steps to reproduce
Open the attached project
Open Statechart.lsvc/Diagram.vi
Double-click on the blue Transition in the middle, navigate to Guard
Right-click on the enum constant -> Replace -> Select a VI...
Choose "Enum 2.ctl"
The "Select the VI to Open" dialog pops up again. Select "Enum 2.ctl" again
Observe first weird behaviour: The Guard block diagram is replaced by the enum's front panel
Click "Cancel"
Double-click on the blue Transition again. LabVIEW crashes here.
Error messages
I first encountered this in a large project with a complex statechart. This was the message shown before LabVIEW died:
With the small example I attached, there was no message at the time of crash -- LabVIEW just aborted silently. When I restarted, it showed (tested twice, same message):

Hi JKSH,
Sorry for the incorrect post, I was talking with one of my colleagues on this issue. I was able to reproduce the issue on Windows 7 32-bit and LabVIEW 2013 (32-bit). I filled a bug report (called a Corrective Action Request or CAR) on the issue. The CAR number is 421985. You can use this to track when the CAR will be fixed as there will be a list of resolved CARs in the release notes. I also wanted to post that the workaround for this error is to just add the VI manually and then delete the original VI (as opposed to using the replace feature).
Thanks for helping find this bug.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Bill

Ni-can w/ labview 64-bit

Hi,
Can I use ni-can with labview 2012 64-bit?
I've installed ni-can 2.7.4f0, but during the installation I saw support options for 32-bit labview versions, but none for 64-bit versions. After the install when loading a .vi it can load ncWriteNet.vi. I've looked on a 32-bit installation and that file is in the labview install directory. I tried copying the files manually, but that just leads to other dll dependencies.
thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Almost definitely not. I think the main landing page for NI-CAN 2.7.4 is pretty clear that you will need to use 32 bit LabVIEW.
Check it out for yourself: NI-CAN 2.7.4 Driver Page. Look under the "Supported Development Environments". Also, is there a problem using 32 bit LabVIEW?

XYGraph Cursor legend bug instantly crashes LabView 2012

Hi!
I am just facing a very annoying bug.
Please find my example VI attached, I would like to know wheather you can confirm the bug? Run the VI if you wish to see some curve (actually the bug appears even if you do not put any data on the graph, if you do, just the same) and after that try to click on the cursor legend vertical scrollbar to scroll up or down to see the cursor names.
It instantly crashes my LabView 2012 Full version: 12.0.1f2 (32-bit). This XYGraph always crashes LabView... I cannot go on with my project, now I will just try to bypass the error, I will try to delete the cursors, and add them again...
Anyhow, very strange and annoying behaviour...
Anyone could repeat the same bug?
Thanks for support!

hello,
please find attached my example VI, where I would like to programmatically set the label position of a cursor. Why my code does create at every run a new cursor with the same name?

Labview 2012 Runtime Application Crash: Access Violation Error

hi All,
my rather large app that I been develping over teh last few years has recently been crashing.
I do not know if it is since I began compiling it in LV2012 SP1 that the problem occurred or I have some programming error
that I cannot track down.
It use to run with uptimes over months, even with some memory leaks.
If I monitor using Task Manager there is no decernable increase in memory usage.
It crashes on two different systems - both running Windows XP.
The developer version running in LabVIEW 2012 f5 ( Windows XP ) does not crash. Only the runtime version crashes.
It also crashes either if the program sits idle for a few days - 5 or so ( memeory footprint stable ), or if it is used extensively to actively gather and control several instruements ( memory increase matches data size increase )
It does call several external API via ActiveX to spawn off processes, however from the lvlog.txt it seems the crashing is a simple open file that uses the NI supplied String to Config.vi.
I have double/triple check my code and I close any refernces open by the calling vi.
I am sure how to read teh mini-dump files so if someone can look at these it would be apreciated
thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,
It's tough to tell what's going on, especially since it seems like you've really covered your bases! I'm curious about the fact that you don't see the crashes in LabVIEW (LV), just in the Run-Time Engine (RTE). Have you ever tried running it in LV for an extended period of time?
Also, do you have any loops in your program? Perhaps shrinking any waits that might be present and allowing your program to run faster would decrease the amount of time to see these errors from days to shorter.
In the future, when you get a dump file, submit it to our R&D department. It then pops up on a website that allows me to read them. I can also use win debug but that will take me a bit, so I'll have to get back to you on that.
Also, if you could take a picture of the error, that would help as well.

I have had my iPad for ten months, I bought it at Walmart and lost the reciete. Today I discovered a dead pixel. I have a one year warranty. Is it possible I can bring it into any retail store and have them repair it?

I dont know. Pj prob knows more than I. Only thing I had fixed was a classic Ipod(@apple) like 8-10 years ago. I wasnt even sure if i got a new ipod or not at the time. It did come back blank so maybe it was new. This whole thing was new to me at the time(I was about 13).
They should be able to do something. Even the warrenty and apple extended care SAYS it even protects against 2 claims of "misuse", say if you dropped it. They SHOULD be able to replace it or fix it no charge under warrenty. Youd think atleast.

I have DVD's that I made from iMovie. I would like to know a way I can bring them back into a file that I can somehow transfer to my iPad, so I can show movies on it, the iPad.

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;

Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Here's one way to install. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Can I get MJD (date and time) in LabVIEW 2012 SP1?

I need to time stamp my data before sending it to the file. I have been doing this with the standard calendar date and time but MJD is what we prefer to use. How can I get an MJD timestamp in LabVIEW 2012 SP1?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Brad_Henry,
The Format Date/Time String will return the day of the year when the %j argument is used, as per this help document:
LabVIEW Help: Format Codes for the Time Format String
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/glang/codes_for_time_format_str/
If you're looking for the actual MJD, I'm not aware of a built-in function that generates this so you'll probably need to create or find a function to calculate it manually. This should pretty basic arithmetic, and it looks like people have already made a few public examples, the first two search results here look to be just about what you need:

Bind FPGA host reference to type definition in labVIEW 2012 crashes labVIEW

Hi,
I am using FPGA target device 5641R and labview FPGA 2012 with 5640R ver 1.7.
On the configure window of open FPGA VI reference function, choosing the dynmaic mode shows broken arrow when wired to the 5640R configuration VIs (i.e. Configure timebase, Configure ADC default, Configure ADC NCO functions). So i tried the other option which is binding the FPGA host reference to type definition and choose the control from path C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\instr.lib\ni5640R\Configuration\NI-5640R VIs\ni5640R FPGA VI Reference.ctl. But after that when i try to save the VI on which open FPGA VI reference function is placed, labVIEW crashes. I am unable to figure out the reason. Earlier I was working with labVIEW 2011 and it was working fine there. Any suggestions would be highly appretiated.
Please see the attached images for more details.
Thanks
