LabVIEW 8.0 computer slow down problem

When using LabVIEW 8.0/8.2 Full Development suite I have been experiencing times when the cpu usage of LabVIEW goes to 99% and stays there causing it to lock up and have to terminate the process. I have experienced this several times while working on a large program that I have been developing. I thought it was due to low memory but have upgraded to 1Gig of memory and still have to same issue. This will ussually happen when I make a change to the program or save the changes I have just made.

Dear Bjarne:
   Are you able to see this issue with other larger VIs or, do all
the VIs slows down.  Lets shift gears a
bit and see if now all VIs in the environment
are slow than usual. Just restart the LabVIEW environment, make sure no other
applications are open and that the CPU usage in the task manager does not show
its resources being used by another application.  Then open up a brand new
VI or some of our shipping examples. If you see the problem while editing VIs and then try to save, it would be specific to the
environment you have installed. If it’s specific to the VI, I would take it to
a different system with LabVIEW 8.2 and see if that happens? Can you try
running the same VI on another LabVIEW development computer system?

LabVIEW will take little time (milliseconds to 1 or 2 seconds) depending on the
size of the VI to save if it’s a large project. Is this the behavior you are
concerned about? Can you try may be mass compiling VIs
in your environment?  Please post some snapshots of task manager and the
VI size and the block diagram to help us speed the troubleshooting process.
Thanks much

  • Computer slows down more each time I print a PDF. It reverts to a reasonable speed if I restart the computer. Everything worked normally until I installed Avast Virus Protection.

    I have Windows XP and Adobe Reader XI. My printer is a Ricoh Aficio 240W.
    My computer normally lacks internet access. I briefly connected it to the internet to install the full version of Avast Antivirus, then disconnected it from the internet again, and it has been disconnected from the internet since.
    After I installed Avast the computer began acting screwy when I printed PDF files. I uninstalled Avast but the screwiness continues.
    The image in the upper left corner was taken after doing one printing of a PDF file. I'm pretty confident AcroRd32.exe. is Adobe Reader. Notice that after running one print Adobe Reader is using about 50 CPU's.
    The image to the right of that was taken after doing two printings of a PDF file. Notice that after running two prints there are two AcroRd32.exe processes using 50 CPU's.
    The image below the other two was taken after doing three or four printings of a PDF file. Notice that after three printings one AcroRd32.exe process is using 50 CPU's and two others are using about 25. After about three printings my computer slows down dramatically, and it keeps getting slower the more prints I do.
    When I restart the computer it reverts back to normal. Can anyone think of a better solution to this problem of increasing slowness than restarting the computer every two PDF prints?
    My computer currently has no virus protection, although Windows Firewall is up. Someone at Avast I briefly mentioned this too thinks this should not happen and he was wondering if the computer has some sort of virus...but before I removed Avast it told nothing about viruses that I know of. I honestly do not know if anyone scanned the computer with Avast before removing Avast, but I suspect it was scanned before the removal of Avast. I suppose this could be the result of some virus...but then the computer behaves quite normally, except when I print PDFs. I'm wondering if Avast changed some settings in my printer program or Adobe programs....
    I have CCleaner. Every time I analyze my computer to look for stuff to remove to speed up the computer it shows Internet Explorer history files, and sometimes Internet Explorer temporary internet files despite not being online. If I click on Internet Explorer to go onto the internet, I am told I am working offline.
    Thanks. Guesses are welcomed.

    Note that regarding this section:
    The image in the upper left corner was taken after doing one printing of a PDF file. I'm pretty confident AcroRd32.exe. is Adobe Reader. Notice that after running one print Adobe Reader is using about 50 CPU's.

    The layout changed when I posted. Therefore, what I mean by the image in the upper left corner is the image at the top. What I mean by the image to the right of that is the image in the middle of the other two. What I mean by the image below the other two is, of course, the image at the bottom.

  • [Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

    Hello,
    Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
    As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
    It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
    I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
    I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

  • 4.0 upgrade made my computer slow down and stall. Is there a way to speed it up or do I have to uninstall it?

    The upgrade to 4.0.1 slowed down everything considerably on my computer like: start up, going to another page, searching, and even logging off can take up to 10 minutes to shut down. I also have an even worse problem with the pages hanging.

    Apple does not and never has supported downgrading to an earlier version of iOS.
    Hope this helps

  • Program slow down / problem of memory optimization

    hi all,
    Here is my problem. I am using Labview 2011 and a NI acquisition board. In attachment are simplified VI codes I implemented to acquire analog signal and process the data. The main_VI.vi starts the RUN VI that performs data acquisition and data processing. In the RUN VI, I implemented a state machine because there are many sequential steps. The acquisition is done many times (see max iteration value) and for each acquisition, there is a processing. I used a queue structure to send data for processing in parallel. I also use a in-place element structure to manage the array.
    For real data acquisition (from NI board), the program slows down after hundreds of iteration and when I exit the program, it seems the VI has to free memory because it takes few minutes to close the VI.
    My questions are:
    -       Is the state machine structure properly implemented?
    -       Is the queue strategy optimal to do parallel processing?
    -       Is the use of in-place element structure properly implemented in my case, and is it needed for 1D array with a size of 4000 to 20000 points?
    Thank you for your help/suggestions.
    Cedric

    Hello Cedric,
    I noticed that in your "RUN.vi" you are calling the "acquisitions_data.vi" iteratively in a For Loop.  Everytime that For Loop iterates, you are creating the Task, running the acquisition, then closing the Task.  You don't need to create and clear the Task over and over again like that.  Instead, create and configure the Task outside of the for loop.  This way when you get inside the for loop, use the "DAQmx Start Task.vi" to start the task, perform the read using the "DAQmx Read.vi", then use the "DAQmx Stop Task.vi" to stop it.  Outside the for loop you can place the "DAQmx Clear task.vi" to clear the references.
    Perhaps this will help with your performance.

  • Computer slows down after a while of usage

    I just purchased a new Mac Mini (the one with no optical drive) & I noitce after a while of usage it starts slowing down. The most mundane tasks can take minutes (like closing a window) when it goes into its "slow down" mode. It's like it's moving through molassis. Before this, I had a Macbook laptop & I never had slow downs like this. I would have thought "newer technology" would translate into better but not worse functioning. I have 4 gig of ram. I do use Photoshop, which is a ram hog. But like I said, I had this same configuration with the Macbook & no problems. What has changed other than the computer to the Mac Mini. Any thoughts on how I might remedy this? Thanks.

    I too am having that same issue and I have had mine only a week. Mine is the bare minimum ordered for the new release.

  • Computer Slowing Down (includes EtreCheck)

    Hey there!
    Yeah, basic question I know. XD But my computer has been getting noticeably slower, especially with Premiere Pro, Photoshop editing and very basic Finder tasks. So, I decided to do a pass with EtreCheck to see if there were any other problems.
    And there appears to be quite a few failures... 8C
    Thoughts?? Especially on the "Problem System Launch Agents" and "Daemons??"
    Thank you!!! 8D 8D 8D
    (ALSO... I have been editing together a 3 hour, 4 camera concert, all in 1080p on a maxed out iMac computer, with no problem. I wanted to do some extra editing work on the side with my laptop, but it can't even LOAD the file... XD Granted; it's a 3 hour concert with 4 cameras in HD. Is this kind of work COMPLETELY out of the league with a computer with these specs to begin with? Is it time to upgrade to a maxed out desktop if I want to continue getting work like this?)

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in 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.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Computer slows down and locks up after installing Xtreme Mu

    I recently upgraded my Audigy 2 to the new Xtreme Music soundcard. The music sounds great!? Before install, I uninstalled all drivers from the Audigy 2. Now, my computer behaves differently. Before the login screen (Windows XP), my video flashes multiple colors for about 2 seconds. After logging into Windows, applications have slowed down (this is after installing the drivers for the sound card and updating the software to the latest from the website). For example, Email took some time to come up (outlook), and then a word attachment refused to come up. IE took considerable amount of time to launch. This is after running the computer with the sound card for a week.
    The problems aren't consistent. I returned the card, and the salesman asked if I plugged in the external power (floppy dri've connector). I read the instructions, and they did not state to do this, but I will give it a try. I swapped the card for a brand new one and brought it home. This time, I plugged in the external power. Same symptoms, if not worse. It is sporadic, and sometimes worse than others.
    This morning, my computer was working extremely slow opening IE or Outlook and reading email. I pulled the sound card and all is great again. Bummer!? I really like the sound this card produces. My fear is, will ANY X-Fi card do this or just the Xtreme Music?I have an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe (onboard sound has always been disabled). I didn't have any problems with the Audigy 2. 550W power supply, Gig memory, Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor, and and ATI X600 video card. No other cards are installed in the system.

    I tried it is 2 separate slots. Same symptoms. I am looking to see if it is a power issue (not enough juice from a 550w power supply), or if there is a conflict. I still have the creative drivers and software loaded without the soundcard installed and no problems (So I'm ruling out the creative sound software).

  • My computer slows down and hangs after installing oracle 10g

    My computer just slows down after installing oracle 10g. I have a pentium 4 3ghz with 512 memory (32 mb used by graphics built in card). It slows down and hanged even if I agjusted the swap memory to 800 mb. I have two swap file/page file - in drive c and drive d. I even cannot shut it down because it takes maybe 30 minutes just to see the "shut-off/log-off" screen.

    Before starting up Oracle, when you go to the task manager, how much RAM does it show actually free? 512 MB is pretty small to run Oracle in the first place-- Windows and Office can use a fair chunk of RAM themselves, depending on which Office apps you are running. You may also be suprised by the amount of RAM that a web browser, email client, and the various other apps that folks generally install can use.

  • Any security update slow-down problem occuring ???

    hi all,
    My macbk has slowed to a crawl on the net. connecting from one site to another takes up to 20 seconds. I've done permissions / onyx/ scripts/ reset safari & camino /cleared browser caches and each time it speeds up a bit but within a few minutes online it's slow again. hangs up initially at "looking for..." in the bottom bar and shows highlighted bar hung right before "www". OR at the "go to" / "contacting" stage at the same WWW
    The only thing I can think that I did at about the time it began slowing down was , using software update (which I rarely use- normally download directly from the apple site, but got momentarily lazy!).
    My Techtool pro is 4.2.1 and won't run on my intel apparently - or so it says in the dialogue box and when I try to download and install the incremental update it says it can't find where to install. so I am stuck with out it at the moment.
    If it weren't so rare I would think I had a WORM. but that IS rare on a mac I think.
    so thinking about possible linked problems with that security update.
    anyone heard of any problems ?
    I do have applecare, so if all else fails I can call them I guess

    You're Welcome Sue!
    I forgot about some of the cool options in the Safari View contextual menu, so thanks to your previous post, I took a look.
    I haven't been exploring my system enough lately!
    And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in  Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!

  • Can my computer slow down if I use too much of my solid state drive?

    This isn't for my iMac, but for a MacBook pro I am going to get at some time.  I want a solid state drive in it, but they are kind of small.  I could get away with a 256gb because I use about 109gb on my iMac and plan to use a little less on the MacBook pro.  Is this ok if I use 50% of my solid state  or more, or will it slow down my computer. If I must get the 512 I will, but I am only 14 and this is a lot of money for me to spend or I guess for anyone. I don't want to be cheap about it, but I want to get the best for my $$. 
    Thanks buggy687
