Labview Merge Problems

I have LVMerge setup to integrate changes with my version control package and it works fine, if slow ... most of the time.
For some reason, with some VI's (especially larger ones), it refuses to "resolve" conflicts.
I click on Choose Theirs, windows flash around, the hourglass comes up, I get focus back, and nothing seems to have happened. The conflict is still marked as unresolved. Same for choose base or choose yours. Even on conflicts that were auto-resolved, I can't go back and choose a different resolution.
I don't think it's a setup problem because this works fine on other VI's. This doesn't seem to be a commonly used feature, there aren't a lot of forum posts on it, but I thought I'd throw it out there ...
Regards,
Mike

This can be a version-dependent issue. What LabVIEW version and operating system are you running?

Use of LabVIEW Merge

Is there any use for using LabVIEW merge if your software team does not to parallel development? We are starting to setup Perforce for source control, and I was considering setting up LVMerge.exe to work with Perforce. However, since we have no parallel development, I don't see any point to this. Is there a reason that I'm overlooking to setup and use LVMerge when there is no parallel development?
Thanks!

Consider a single developer making multiple changes. Merge is just not for different users. I've had to do a quick patch to fix a bug in source while at the same time, do more extended edits on the same source for new release with additional features.
Now that I think about it, I was confused how a single user would use LVMerge, because I don't really understand some of the differences between the arguments LVMerge uses. What is the difference between the Base VI and Your VI? According to the LabVIEW help, the Base VI is "Absolute path to a copy of the VI from where you checked it out (Base
VI)," and Your VI is "Absolute path to the VI you edited (Your VI)." Those seem like the same things to me. Isn't the VI I checked out the one that I am editing? Could someone clear that one up for me?
Also, I am confused about Their VI, which according to the LabVIEW help is, "Absolute path to a copy of the latest revision of the VI in source control
(Their VI)." MY source control is on a server. Do I use the server absolute path, like \\SERVER\SourceControl\Project\VI.vi to tell LVMerge where to get that VI?

Email PDF from Mail Merge Problem

Using a data source of email addresses from Excel 2003 and performing a mail merge in Word 2003 with the Mail Merge to Adobe PDF button, everything worked okay and the emails generated to the outbox in Outlook 2003 with the relevant PDFs attached. However, once they were mailed the recipients who use Outlook Express had the attachments missing. I'm using Acrobat 8.1.5
I've seen previous queries about this and it seems to relate to Outlook using a RTF format. I set Outlook to default to html and then plain text formats but still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest how I can solve this or if the problem is Outlook related, then another email program that would work without causing this problem (preferable freeware or inexpensive).
Thanks

Just an interesting after thought, since you mentioned blocking. Several federal agencies and companies block zip files also. I ran onto a message recently about the university blocking zip files at one time because of a problem. Mail merge files are typically personalized and it would be nice for them to go intact. If they re not personalized, but just being sent in general, then posting the basic file and e-mailing a link might work better. For a lot of things I do, I just use the mail merge that is built into my e-mail client. That creates a mail-merge of messages that are personalized.
Just thought the blocking comment might be of interest, though I give the same advice. I am not sure how it could be done with zip in a mail merge sense.

Document merge problem due to embedded fonts

I am trying to merge 6 single page pdf documents into one pdf file.
I am receiving this error on two of the six docs:
"These documents contain subset fonts that have the same name and cannot be merged"
Can anyone help me work through this issue?
I am working with Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 10/26/2001
Thank you
Joe

I have exactly the same problem. How do I turn the subset off? Ticking off the option with percentages doesn't help.. What else could cause the problem? Please help, it's pretty urgent!
Thank you in advance,

Labview Graph Problem

Hello,
I have a problem with a tool witch takes excel columns and plots graphs.
The problem is that when i create the png of the graph it additionaly appears the poit (0;0) witch should be on graph.
In the preview i can't see this point. I attached an example.

Have you tried putting a probe onto the data going into the graph to check there aren't any extra data points (i.e. at 0,0)?

Mail Merge problem with Word 2007

I recently replaced my laptop and installed Office 2007. When I try to create mailing labels, it is only merging the first three labels and those are not formatted correctly or even consistently. It seems like a compatibility problem, but my
excel document was also created in Excel 2007. I was using Office 2007 on my old laptop and never had this problem.

Julie,
I don't think I'm having the same problem. You'll want to closely examine the links to be sure that you have selected Work phone and Work address, etc. for the merge, then make sure that in your Address Book you've also used the Work identifier for these fields.
I suppose that you know that you can merge one or more records at a time by dragging your Contact Card(s) into the Merge document. That might be a good troubleshooting tool.

OO ALV Cell Merge Problem when editable fields

Hi there!
I'm using OO ALV ( CL_GUI_ALV_GRID ) and experiencing a strange problem.
I'm interested in the cells merging functionality of ALV, when i sort data for a specific field.
It works fine but only if i do not set any field as editable ( lvc_s_fcat-edit = 'X' ).
For some reason ALV loses some of its functionality when you set a field as editable.
I've noticed it also with the functionality of expanding/supressing data when using subtotals.
If any field is set as editable then subtotals come always expanded, you cannot supress them...
Has anyone else experienced somethng like this before? Any help will be appreciated!

LabView installer problem : undetected CRIO in MAX

Hello,
I'm working on a data acquisition project in LabView 2010 SP1 composed by a LabView Host program (XP SP3 PC) and a CRIO acquisition module. They communicate together through Shared Variables and Network Streaming.
I made an installer of my Host project composed by: runtime 2010 SP1, MAX, NI-RIO 3.6.0 driver and Microsoft Silverlight .
I created this installer on my Dev PC and installed it to a Client PC (see the joint image). The whole program works on the Client PC and the data exchange (Shared Variables and Network Streaming) is OK.
The problem is that the CRIO is not detected by MAX in Remote Devices. On the other hand, when I use the NI Network Browser, it works well (it detects the CRIO).
The other problem is that, even if I have installed the NI-RIO 3.6.0 driver, the RIO Device Setup is not present on the Client PC.
If I install all the standard drivers from the NI device Drivers DVD, it installs everything and then the CRIO is well detected and the RIO Device Setup is also installed.
My conclusion is that I haven't included all the necessary packages in my installer.
What are the necessary components to install in order to have:
the CRIO fully detected
the RIO device setup installed
Must I also install some DAQmx components ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

There is a difference between a network and subnet. I have a similiar problem where I can see the device but can not configure it. You can tell if you are on the same subnet by retireving the ip address for the client and get the subnet mask of the client machine. The example is the following:
client machine ip address 192.168.20.37 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
CRIO machine 192.168.22.15
They are not on the same subnet. If subnet is 255.255.0.0 it is on the same subnet.

CS4 file merging problem

Hi Everyone,
I hope somebody can help me with this one.
I have 2 sites each with it's own root folder, each was started as it's own site using it's own the selected root folder.
The 2 sites share the same template, with the same spry assets, menu bar etc...
2 problems,
First, Somehow the files are "merging" in DW on me, so that when I make a change on one template it changes the template in the other root folder for the other separately designated site.
Both sets of files were stored on my desktop, so I copied one set of files to my documents and in doing so it changed some things around, which leads to my second problem(s)
One template lost the banner, footer, and side bar images that I had inserted (not a big deal to restore)
The other template in the other root folder lost the code for the spry tabbed panel that I had inserted and I'm not sure how to get that back in.
Can somebody please help me with this?
Thanks
Mike

Mike
As a guess, it could be that you are working in both sites at the same time, and DW has a hard time with that. If you are going to work on site A, then in your Files Panel, it must be Site A listed in the drop down box. Other wise you may be saving a file for Site A in Site B, and from there the calamity just exculates.
But that is just a guess.

Labview Synthesiser: Problem outputting sound via MacBook soundcard

Hi all!
First time posting here, hopefully i'm in the right section of the forum. Anyway, i'm a part time student and currently studying a module on Labview in university. As a mini project i decided to build a synth using Labview. I've it mostly built but i'm having a bit of trouble outputting sound to the soundcard. I'm also having a bit of trouble getting the waveforms to play for a longer time period.
I was sort of copying the setup of one of the example VIs (generating sound vi i think) and another vi i found online but i can't seem to get mine to work using my synth design. I've two problems, one is that the waveform only plays for a very short time but the main problem is that i'm getting an error (error 4803) saying the soundcard cannot accomodate the specified configuration but as far as i can see my setup is more or less the same as the generating sound vi (which works on my fine macbook). Obviously i'm missing something so i decided to come on here and ask for help.
I'm guessing the datatype connected to my sound output configure vi could be causing a problem since it has a red dot on the input terminal. Any suggestions on how i should fix this?
I've my vi attached. Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers!
Edit: I've already fixed the error 4803 problem. Had to change the input to the sound output configure sub vi. Now i just have to figure out how to get the sound to play for longer. Any ideas anyone?
Solved!

OK. You have several problems.
The cluster order in your Format cluster is Rate, Bits, Channels while the order in the "sound format" cluster on Sound Output Configure.vi is sample rate (S/s), number of channels, bits per sample. LabVIEW connects clusters according to the cluster order. How to avoid this: Pop up on the sound format conpane terminal on the Sound Output Configure.vi icon on the block diagram and choose Create Control. That will put a control with the same names and cluster order on the front panel. You can edit the names if you wish as long as you do not change the cluster order. The alternate is to Unbundle the data from your cluster control and then bundle it to the input cluster. I show this in the modification of your VI attached.
The VI does not respond to the Stop button until the event structure executes, which only happens when a key is pressed. Fix: Add an event case for the Stop Value Changed event. I show this in the modification of your VI attached.
The VI does not recognize changes in Octave, Amplitude, Osc Select, or Filter Frequency until the second keypress after changing any of these controls. Why? Dataflow. Those controls are probably read within microseconds after an iteration of the for loop starts. They are not read again until the next iteration regardless of when or how many times they are changed. The loop will not iterate until the Event structure completes, which only happens when a key is pressed. The Fix: Event cases for Value Changes on those controls. Note that this does not work because now there is no defined frequency. So, you also need some shift registers. Because of the problems mentioned, I did not put this into the modified VI.
Next, the event structure freezes the front panel until the code inside has completed. This becomes quite apparent when you set the duration to 2 seconds and press several keys quickly. The fix to this and the problem in the paragraph above is a parallel loop archtitecture, such as the Producer/Consumer Design Pattern.
Not a problem but a different way of doing something: Use Scale by Power of 2 from the Numeric palette in place of the case structure connected to Octave. I show this in the modification of your VI attached.
Now to your question about tone duration: The duration of a signal generated by the Sine Waveform.vi and the others is determined by the sampling frequency and the number of samples. You are a student so you can do the math. You need to adjust the number of samples because the sampling frequency is fixed.
The modified VI works fine on my iMac.

Labview timing problem

I'm kind of stuck with a bit a problem in Labview 7 (base ed.). I've got a PCI-6036E that can sample at 200KS/s with a 24bit onboard timer.
I've got to set up an experiment that monitors a current indirectly through a potentiostat (1A = 1V scale). The program needs to integrate the current/voltage with respect to time until it reaches a specific value and then tells the program to generate an analogue signal output (this will over and over)
Surely it should be quite straight forward to read a voltage on one of the inputs, summing this value in a loop until this limit is reached, then outputting a voltage.
The problem is I'm not quite sure how to approach this considering that I need a time interval of the loop to be ~1-10 microseconds.
Many thanks,
Paul

The only way you're going to get microsecond loop speeds is to move up to the new FPGA board, currently only available for PXI.
Under Windows, or any GUI OS for that matter, loop speeds and determinism get shaky in the double digit milli-second rates, and anything less than 10 mS is really not reliable. LabVIEW Real Time can get much better loop timing, but you're still limited to the milli-second rate as the CPU can't process any faster than that.
Anything running on the FPGA is running in hardware and extremely fast and deterministic loop times are possible. I�ve run them in the nano-second range just doing some testing. Data from applications running on the FPGA can be accessed from La
bVIEW Real Time, LabVIEW or both so you can control what�s going on.
Your best bet would be to either call NI or your local NI rep and have them get you some more info.

Labview addons problem

While opening an existing project, I have been prompted to find the control named "Telnet Session.ctl". The labview is trying to load it from "\addons\internet\telnet\telnet.llb\Telnet Session.ctl", but couldn't find it. What should I do? I also see this box during the process.

Thanks Dennis. In will have a deeper look into the problem. For now, I think it needs telnet functions since one of the error I am getting is SubVI 'Telbet Read.vi'ubVI is misssing. Another is 'type Definition 'telnet_handle': type definition not found or contains error' and many more.

Labview memory problem

I have an application generated by IOTech for using their analog I/O Card with LABVIEW 7.1. When I start the application. My task manager shows Labview.exe size about 30000K. Then after it goes on increasing with no final limit. This causes my PC to slow down and some time to crash situation. What is the reason for such huge memory increase, I dont understand. The file is attached here with with a hope to get solution.
Thanks.

That is chowing down 1.8 Meg a minute so that would be a problem. You options are:
Add more memory to a point where you can complete a test
Set break points in the program to identify what step or steps are allocating the memory. Once identified you can make a decision to limit total memory consumed (use delete array at certain size) or FIFO data to disk to to prevent PC from crashing.
Hope this help,

Hi Prart
1.- If you have IMAQ vision 7.1, download USB IMAQ driver fron this web and will have no such problems.
2.- If not, convert your image to a 2D array an see attached picture about how to revert image.If it does not run for you, try transpose 2d arrrays.
Hope it helps
