Labview 2010 icon editor extremely slow

Working on a medium size project in LabVIEW 2010.  Out of the blue the icon editor slows down.  So slow that typing in one text character takes 20 seconds.  After closing the editor there is about 3 to 5 second lag on every action I make in LabVIEW. 
Restarting LabVIEW sets things back to normal until I open the Icon Editor.  Opening any SubVI results in this problem.  And this occurs in any project or even if no project is open and I try to edit icon in an Untitled 1 subVI.
Anyone else seen this behavior.  I really don't want to re-install LabVIEW 2010. 
Thanks
 

I'd almost suggest using the old icon editor, then edit and save the VI, then try the new icon editor again.  One issue could be with keeping track of all that layer information and one of them having bad data or something.  By using the old icon editor and saving, it might save the icon as the flat image it is, and wipe away all that layer information the new icon editor uses.  
Of course before there was an improved icon editor developers made their own, and I'm curious to know if they still work, and if they would load faster.

  • LabVIEW 2010 icon editor -- why is white not white

    OK, so I'm creating an Icon in LV 2010.
    I want a white background. 
    So I choose the white color in the palette.  But that doesn't quite look like white (a little darker than white).
    so I go get a custom color, and set it to 255/255/255 (R/G/B).  add it to my custom colors.  hover over it quickly with the mouse and see that it is actually 255/255/255.
    Then I go back to the actually icon editing, and make sure my color selection (foreground/background) is both WHITE (255/255/255).
    I draw a box.
    The box isn't white!!!
    the box is drawn with colors 246/246/246 (R/G/B) not 255/255/255!
    Go create another custom color of 255/255/254.
    Draw the box again.
    Box looks white, but it is actually 255/255/254 (what you would expect to get).  Close enough for me to use, so I can get on with making my icons, but I just need to remember to not try to actually set the color to 255/255/255 -- actually use something ever so slightly different. 
    Best I can figure out -- if you hover over a transparent section, you see the color go to 255/255/255, so LV must be using 255/255/255 as transparent.  But then it says that color is 255/255/255, and it's not, it's transparent.  So the color should be shown as T/T/T so I don't need to know the special magical decoder of 255/255/255 = transparent to see if one single pixel is transparent color or not.
    End of rambling and venting, and on to the real question:
    What's special about taking 255/255/255 white and converting it to 246/246/246 instead of something closer like 254/254/254?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The Icon Editor thinks it is doing you a favor, and it probably really is given the (perhaps outdated) method LV uses for transparency on the BD.  By design, any "white" on the outside of a BD object (ie. icon) is considered transparent and not part of the object as far as clicking is concerned.  I have also discovered the hard way that "white" means any pure grey (R=G=B) with R,G,B > 246.  Tweaking the B value is one way to avoid this (as you have discovered).
    You can get some very interesting effects when LV thinks your entire subVI is transparent.

  • My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

    My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
    Thanks in adavnce for help.

    Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro extremely slow

    Hi! I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro,which suddenly decided to start moving at snail speed for me. Applications take 5 minutes to open and when they do, they usually crash and I have to force quit. Finder runs pretty smooth but it is also slower than it used to be.
    I have:
    4GB Ram
    500GB capacity hardrive, 173GB available
    I have booted in safe mode, done both a PRAM and SMC reset, is there anything else I can try before I spend a ton of money getting it fixed?
    Thanks in advance, and sorry for any typos, I am on mobile.

    Assume the boot drive is dying and have a extra copy of your user files on another regular external drive in addition to any TimeMachine or bootable clone you may have.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next run through these two user tips
    Why is my computer slow?
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If you want us to help you further and possibly pinpoint the cause please provide as much information in this next user tip back on this thread.
    Help us to help you on these forums
    For instance we have no idea what operating system version your using.
    What do you mean by snail speed? Do you see spinning beach balls or is there a runaway process, is the machine hot?
    Slow booting, loading programs or slow writing to the drive? Slow online only?
    Thanks.

  • My MacBook Pro 2010 is running very slow...what to do?

    My Macbook Pro purchased in 2010 is running extremely slow.  I would love to trash a bunch of stuff but whenever I try to do that, it freezes.
    What to do?  Is there a simple thing to do to number one... get it to work faster and  two... how to stream down everything on it.
    MH

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Mavericks extremely slow on MacBook Pro Mid-2010

    Hi all,
    Since i installed Mavericks its been impossible to work on my Mac. I've already done a clean install and no signs of improve.
    I use Eclipse IDE to work, and its extremly slow now. Even can have some video playing on Youtube without some cuts when working.
    What should i do? Downgrade to ML? Sell this laptop? Buy new RAM?
    I've attached below the EtreCheck.... i don't know if theres something on my OS that may be causing this.
    PS: ....and the OS already indexed all the files.
    Big thanks for any help given.

    First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.

  • LabVIEW 2010 App Builder: Registry editor has issue with keys of the same name at the same level in registry tree

    This is a bug report for an NI application engineer.  Please file a CAR. 
    In a LabVIEW 2010 project, create a new installer build and go to the Registry editor.
    Enter some keys like the following
    Click OK to close the installer wizard.
    Now reopen the build specification and go to the Registry editor.  The registry editor comes up blank and non functional.
    I believe the registry entries are still written when the installer executes, but you cannot edit the registry any further in LabVIEW 2010.  This was not an issue in LV 2009. The issue seems to stem from having two keys with the same name at the same level in the registry tree (in this case, the two "Test" keys). 

    Hi sensor_daniel,
    This was reported to R&D (#305026) for further investigation.
    Thanks for the feedback! 
    Have a great day,

  • Why does LabVIEW 2009 revert to the old icon editor?

    Hi,
    I have noticed that sometimes when I am trying to edit the icon in LabVIEW 2009, I get the old style icon editor from LabVIEW 8.5 days instead of the more advanced new one with layers, gliphys, etc.  Once the old style editor shows up, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to the advanced editor.  Has anyone seen this behaviour?  I have version 8.5 of LabVIEW still installed, should I remove it?  Do I need to restart my computer?
    Thanks.
    Bob

    Here are some of the errors I see ...

  • Old Icon Editor in LabVIEW 2012

    I'm observing a 'weird' behavior with the icon editor in LabVIEW 2012, suddenly I'm starting to see the 'old' editor on my VIs
    Anyone seen this before?
    Thanks,
     <<-N->>

    I've been seeing a similar problem.  First I get error shown in the attached, then the icon editor version shown in the attached.  I have tried reinstalling the LabVIEW2012 as well as doing a repair. 
    I am using Windows7.  I have a lab computer with the same software which works fine so there is something funny about my laptop.
    Regards,

  • LabVIEW 2012 f1 Icon Editor Error

    I am having an issue with LV 2012 Icon Editor.  32 bit installation, Windows 7 Enterprise.  Fresh install I downloaded from the website.
    Everytime I try to edit an Icon, I get an error 7, File not found.  It seems that it cannot find any of the template or glyphs.
    Frameworks:\
    LabVIEW Data:\Glyphs
    Error 7 occurred at File/Directory Info in Check Path.vi->Write PNG File.vi->Icon Editor First Call.vi->ReadDataFromLabVIEWINI.vi->Load.vi->Icon Editor Init Refs.vi->Classes Initialization.vi->lv_icon.lvlib:lv_icon.vi->lv_icon.lvlib:lv_icon.vi.ProxyCaller
    I should mention that it still pulls up the old Icon editor, but I would like to use the newer one (introduced in LV2009/10 ish)
    Has anyone else seen this error with the Icon Editor?
    I am also getting a pop up that LV failed to create the Recovery VIs.
    It seems like I am having some file path issues, but I left everything as LV defaults.  These would seem to be standard config items...
    Kenny

    It sounds like your LabVIEW installation was corrupted in some manner, since the new icon editor should be the default on a new install.  I would try repairing that first.
    For the new icon editor to show up, you should have a file called lv_icon.lvlibp in <LabVIEW>\resource\plugins.  This is the icon editor.  If it is missing or renamed, you get the old editor.
    The glyphs and templates are in your <Documents>\LabVIEW Data directory, in subdirectories Glyphs and Icon Templates, respectively.  These are shared by all versions of LabVIEW installed.  A fresh install of LabVIEW will have very few templates.
    You can use the icon editor to sync your glyphs with the library at ni.com.  Use the tools menu to get them.
    Let us know if this does not help.

  • "Small Font" in LabVIEW 2013/2012 Icon Editor

    Dear All:
    I have encountered a strange thing recently while using icon editor in LabVIEW 2012 and 2013. I am accustomed to using "Small Font" when editting VI's icon in the Icon editor(LabVIEW 8.0,8.2,8.6,2011), but i found this font in LabVIEW 2012/2013 is different from the one in LabVIEW2011(or 8.6..), the details are as attached images. My question is how can I do to use "Small Font" as I did in LabVIEW 2011, and how to remove the color layers while editting text. any help will be great appreciated.  Thanks very much. Hope your reply……
    Solved!

    My confusion is that the "Small Font" in My LabVIEW 2012/2013 is annoying.  I want a Small Font in LabVIEW 2012 like the Appearance in LabVIEW 2011(as attached images)
    Then do the settings, choose right FONT (Small) and Font size (8 or 9)...!! By doing any changes in the settings, it will not modify any existing text..!!
    But after making the changes in the Font setting, next time when you'll try to write any text, either on any of the four lines or by using the text tool, you'll see the text with changed font settings.
    I am not allergic to Kudos, in fact I love Kudos.

  • Outlook 2010 (+ Exchange 2013) works extremely slow

    We have a user that works with Outlook 2010 (on a RDS Server) that is connected with cache to Exchange 2013. The response of Outlook is extremely slow and we think because this user has a 15Gb mailbox. However, he refuses to delete any mail for various
    reasons. Is there any way to speed up Outlook? The rest of the system works fine, it's just the email.

    Hi,
    By "connected with cache to Exchange 2013", do you mean the user is using Cached Exchange mode? If not, please help the user switch to Cached Exchange mode to check the result. If the user has any shared folders, also cache those folders to check if it helps.
    If we try to start Outlook in safe mode, will this issue persists? To open Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run box, type
    outlook.exe /safe and press Enter. If performance improves, check again to make sure that you disabled any Outlook add-ins that may affect performance.
    In addition, please click File tab > Info > section Mailbox Cleanup and check your Exchange Quota information. We can also try to close Outlook,
    rename the OST file, and then reopen Outlook to re-create the OST file.
    For more troubleshooting steps about slow Outlook performance issue, please refer:

    Hope this helps.

  • LabView 2010 application runs twice as slow in Windows 7

    When our company mandated the replacement of Windows XP PC's, my LabView test application that was compiled in LabView 2010 runs over twice as slow on a Fujitsu Esprimo E710E86+ machine. The application uses a GPIB USB - HS adapter to control an HP 4285 Impedance analyzer whose signals are switched to it using two (2) SCXI chassis that contains five (5) SCXI-1193 switch modules. This chassis uses the USB-1359 communicator.
    On the Windows XP machine that is being replaced (a Dell Optiplex 960), a typical set of measurements takes around 40 seconds to complete. The new Windows 7 machine takes about 100 seconds to do the same set of measurements. Has anyone noted this increase in test time???
    Thank you.

    Hello Rod,
    Before updating to LV 2013 I'd recommend isolating what components are causing the slowdown or at least trying to eliminate some of the variables - right now there's a new PC, new OS, new physical connections, and perhaps even new hardware, so figuring out which of these is causing the slowdown should be the first order of business.  I've seen issues simlar because USB devices were switched around to different (built-in) ports on the same machine.
    A few things to check:
    -What does this application do?  Are you doing any intensive data manipulation or is this mostly a call-and-response type application?
    -What does your system resource utilization look like on the two machines?  In either case, are you using more or less RAM on one machine or railing one or more CPUs?
    -Do you see the same sort of performance hit on a Windows 7 installation on an Optiplex or similar machine?
    -Did you change drivers when you upgraded to Windows 7? 
    -What NI driver version(s) are/were you using?
    -Does this application log data data to disk or perform any network operations?
    -Have you attempted recompiling the 2010 executable on "new" hardware?  The LabVIEW compiler will optimize for the platform it is being built on and it seems highly likely that the Dell and Fujitsu machines have different processors.  As a note I've never seen recompiling in this fashion result in a 100%+ speedup.
    -Have you taken a look at the machine's I/O traces to see how long the acquisition itself takes?
    -Have you tried moving the USB connections to different ports?  Most desktop PCs nowadays have one hub on the front and one on the back of the machine, although I'm not familiar with Fujitsu desktops.  If the adapters you are using or anything else on the machine is forcing a USB 2.0/3.0 port to 1.0 or something this could be a factor.

    Tom L.
