LabView 8.6 Imaq Image.ctl error when trying to probe wire.

I just installed 8.6 from 8.0. Now when I try and probe a wire I get a dialog that wants me to find the IMAQ Image.ctl file. If I cancel out of the window about three time it will finally set the probe. I do not have vision or IMAQ on this computer. Has any one had this problem? Is this another one of the times I get to uninstall and reinstall LabVIEW?

Does this happen for all of your wires that you try probing, or just one particular data type?
It does happen for all of the wires types.  
Does the dialog look similar to the dialog that appears when you load a vi that can find the associated files, or does it appear as something different?
If I right click I get a dialog that looks very similar to the dialog that pops up when the associated files are missing.
I might reccomend installing vision acquisition software (only install the IMAQ driver, not IMAQ-dx) and see if this fixes the problem
Is this avaliable if I do not have a license for vision 8.6?

  • Adding an "IMAQ Image.ctl" to the "Display State.ctl" of an XControl prevents LabVIEW from creating a probe of "Display State.ctl"

    I am working on an extended IMAQ Display control using LabVIEWs XControl capabilities.
    I need a copy of the original image passed to add some overlays which must not affect the original image. To achieve this I am creating a backup image in the "Init.vi" and deleting it in the "Uninit.vi". I am storing the reference of this image in the "Display State.ctl" which is part of every XControl.
    As soon as I am adding an "IMAQ Image.ctl" to the Display State cluster, it is no longer possible to generate a probe of the Display State cluster for debugging purposses. I am always getting the message: "Failed to load or create probe."
    Deleting the "IMAQ Image.ctl" from the cluster makes the probe working again.
    Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
    I am working with LabVIEW 8.5 and Vision 8.5.

    Hello Mr. Bartsch,
    is it possible for you to post a small example to reproduce the behaviour? It would be helpful to get a description in which way you use the typedef files.
    I found a example/knowledge base where some informations were included to XControl and LV but not with Vision.

    Hi H.Barker,
    Zou is correct, LabVIEW supports all GIF bit depth images 24bit and below.
    Thank you for forwarding the GIF images, I also experienced the same error when trying to import the "logo.gif" image in LabVIEW however I was able to import the image when I opened it in Microsoft Paint and resaved it as a new GIF.
    This suggests there is a corruption in the original GIF file generated on the web, for example a "terminiating block" may be missing at the end of the GIF file. LabVIEW is not forgiving of GIF images that do not meet the GIF specification whereas other Windows editors may be, it seems that opening and resaving the GIF file in Microsoft Paint added the missing characters thus allowing for the file to be imported into LabVIEW.
    I have attached the working GIF image to this post.
    Hopefully this assists with your application H.Barker.
    Many Thanks

  • Sql Server Web Edition Reporting Services errors when trying to connect to Windows Azure SQL

    I am using a preconfigured image from the Azure VM Gallery to create a VM.
    --> Sql Server 2012 SP1 Web running under Windows Server 2008 R2
    After configuring Reporting Services I get the following error when trying to run a report that connects to my Azure SQL db.
    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
    An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'SQLAZURE' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsDataExtensionNotFound)
    On the VM using SSMS I can connect to the Azure SQL db.  On the VM in Report Builder when I define a connection I get a similar error to the one above when I test that connection.  I am using Microsoft Azure SQL as the data source type. 
    Interestingly in Report Builder, if I proceed past the connection definition, I can see the tables from my Azure SQL db in the dataset definition page.
    One more note.  If I use a different image from the Gallery (Sql Server 2012 Standard SP1 on Windows Server 2012) my report builder connection works and the reports run fine.  I believe that the Azure documentation says that Sql Server Web edition
    is an acceptable choice for the SSRS on VM for reporting.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks -- Tom Reilly

    Hello,
    A VM with SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012 supports all Reporting Services features, including all supported data sources, customization and extensibility, and scheduled report execution and delivery.
    Did you run the report in Report Manager,or preview the report in Report Builder? Which version of the Report Builder you installed in the Windows Azure VM? SQL Reporting does not support reports created from Report Builder 1.0 or 2.0. You can create reports
    using Report Builder 3.0 and then upload the reports.
    What's more, please also check the database source credential of the report.

  • I am getting an error when trying to add a caption.

    I get the following error when trying to add a caption to a photo.   "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc.  The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media."    I am running Windows 7 Pro.   The files are located on my c:.   The drive has 274 GB Free so space isn't an issue.   I have tried deleting a file and readding it to the same catalog and still the same problem.   I have copied the file to the desktop and cataloged it from there and the error went away.  
    If i check on the folder attibutes it is set to read-only but the desktop folder is as well.   If i try to remove the read only it only resets itelf to read only again.   Once i get the error another file shows up with the image name plus -edTM P-1 and it has the caption on it.  

    I was able to get it to work.  The root folder which held the pictures had a lock on it through windows 7.   Even though the drive was shared, I still had to go into the folder properties and share it with everyone.   Once i got the lock off and rebooted I was able to add captions again.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Error when trying to run an application that worked when built with 8.6

    I have a simple program that I wrote in version 8.6 that I never had a problem building and running applications built with it in 8.6.  Two weeks ago I got 2009 in the mail because we had very recently purchased 8.6 and I am getting errors when trying to run an application built with the same code using 2009.  The error has to do with the Mean.vi.  It claims it cannot find it.  The error I get reads as follows:
    An error occurred loading VI 'NI_AALBase.lvlib:Mean.vi'.  LabVIEW load error code 3: Could not load front panel.  I don't need access to this vi's front panel, so I am wondering if it is a problem with the runtime engine and not my code.  Please respond as soon as possible as this will quickly start to impact my testing schedule.  Thank You.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi!
    The same problem ???
    I discussed it with my local NI technical support team. The application works without any problems now.
    Basic rule: when creating an installer be sure that option "Run Time Engine xxxx"  in "Additional Installers" category is checked in spite of the fact that Run Time Engine is already installed.
    Best regards.

    Dear Przemek,
    to fully understand you problem and to be able to help you, I will have to ask you a few questions:
    What version of LabVIEW are you using?
    What RT target are you using?
    What specific help file are you referring to?
    Are you creating an executable? If yes, this document could be helpful:

    Not recently, but what I would say is that CVI 2010 SP1 was installed after my VS2008 installation, so it ought to be in the right order.... When I get a moment I'll reinstall the CVI runtime and see what happens. Its not critical that I get this fixed, as the project in question is so small, and as the important parts are almost competely ANSI C, it should be really easy to reconstruct in C# anyway. I'll let you know what happens anyway

  • IChat Internal Error when trying to change own Buddy Icon

    On my son's iBook G4 with OS 10.4.5 and iChat AV 3.1.1, he gets an error when trying to insert some JPG photos for his own Buddy Icon. It says:
    iChat Internal error! NSInvalidargumentexception: * -[NSCFArray addObject:] attempt to insert nil
    Also where are all your recent pictures stored??? Upon searching iChat Recent Pictures on my HD, it see they should be User>Library>Images>iChat Recent Pictures. However upon tyring to open that fiel, I get a message saying, "The alias 'ichat Recent Pictures' could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found." I can select delete alias, fix alias or ok. Might this also relate to my problem?

    Hi Michael,
    I pointed you to that thread as the error message you posted is normally associated with either a spellcheck problem or something odd with the Me Card in the Address Book.
    You can drag pics to the Recent Buddies folder but iChat will not see them.
    Create a New Folder and call it iChat Recent Pictures
    The alias should be removed.
    You should now find that iChat will let you select a choice as a new Buddy Pic.
    This is done by clicking on the current Buddy pica nad selecting the "Edit Picture" option.
    Then "Choose".
    Navigate to the Pic and then resize as require.
    Use the "Set" button.
    This will convert the pic to a jpeg 2000 copy of the original and the Recents.plist which is needed within the folder.
    You should now be good to go.
