Labview opens all VIS in Run mode

LV2013 PDS is opening all VIs in Run Mode. This is a global problem, not specific to one or a specific number of VIs.
If I create a new VI, save it, close it and re-open it, it's in Run Mode, not Edit mode. Nothing is set to Run When Opened, nothing is set to be locked without a password.
It's only on this installation; if I take my code to another machine, there's no issue.
I have deleted the labview.INI file, but the behavior repeats itself.
Any ideas?

SCC is not configured; I use perforce, but it's not configued to use it or to treat read-only as locked. I have also checked out all the filed ahead of time with P4, so LV never sees them locked. The folders themselves are not read-only.
Also, I have created VIs outside of my P4 folder, and I have the same trouble.
Example:
Launch LV: Create a blank VI (comes up in Edit mode).
Save to Desktop (not within P4 control) as test.VI
Close
Open test.VI ---> It's in Run Mode
I have never seen this happen before.
Neither have I
I'll assume a reboot was attempted and did not change anything. I would attempt a repair of LabVIEW from the control panel and another restart.

Cannot use "Edit Mode" property to dynamically open a VI in "run mode"

Hello,
I am trying to dynamically open a vi, and would like it to open up in run mode when dynamically called. I am trying to use the "Edit Mode" property to do so by setting it to false before the vi is actually opened by the Open method. However, it always seems to open up in edit mode. Am I doing something obviously wrong here? I am enclosing a screengrab of the vi.
Regards
-Ted

You should use the method Run VI, if you want the VI in the 'Run Mode' without actually running (like ctrl-m), I have no idea how to do that.

LabVIEW pegs CPU usage after running VIs

Hey folks,
this is a general inquiry simply because I don't think I could explain (nor upload) all of the complex pieces of the code involved in the creation of the isue I'm having. Long story short, I have several processes, the main proc calls up two others, there is some information exchanged between procs etc in the initialization process as expected, and there are also several errors that occur (still in the process of debugging it). The problem occurs when the processes are exited. All VIs stop running as they should, however something in the background (no visual prescence) has my CPU pegged at just under 100% and I have to kill LabVIEW in the task manager or wait for it to slowly respond to me telling it to quit/exit...
My question is, has anyone else ever had this issue? if so, could you point me in a direction that may help me find the culprit in my case? I've had plenty of situations when I started VIs that wouldn't stop due to the loop conditions I ut in place, but in this case all VIs show to be stopped...
Thanks for any ideas

you guys are quick! thanks for the help! (kudos to you!)
I don't see the data trace execution toolkit, but I think we have a lic for it... I'll have to download it.
regard to altenbach's questions:
How does the main process call the others?
One is an async call (remote interface)- the other is call by ref (GUI). When this first happened, I figured the one I called async was stuck running, but when I brought it up it was stopped...
How is information exchanged between processes?
Mostly by User events that are held in an individual api VI for each proc, very little is done via 'remote enqueue' (only the exit of the two sub proc's are done that way right now)
How does the quit/exit dialog look like?
There isnt a separate dialog, but the execution of the exit/quit button seems to go just fine, doesnt hang while pressed or anything.
What is your LabVIEW version?
2011
Are you opening an infinite number of references, trying to allocate an infinite amount of memory, or similar?
It may be that I'm opening a new ref each time... I'm gonna have to look into this.. thanks!
again thanks for all your help

Stuck with run mode

Hi
I am stuck with run mode on one of my VI (I can't edit it or even see the diagram). here's what I verified
1. tools>option>miscellaneous> I uncheck "Open VIs in run mode"
2. I hit Ctrl+M, it is still in run mode
3. I close LabVIEW and reopen, it's still in run mode
4. I check the VI file type, it's not a read only
Do u have any idea about how I can go back to edit mode to modify the diagram? I'm using LabVIEW 7.1
Thanks

Without having the VI in front of me it is difficult to say exactly what settings you have turned on.
I would suggest trying the following things to get your VI out of run mode.
1) Ensure that "Open VIs in Run Mode" is turned off in Tools->Options->Miscellaneous
2) Open the VI by dragging it into another block diagram and double clicking on it
3) With the VI open hold down control and press the '.' key. This is the same as pressing the "Abort" button.
4) Hold down control and press 'M' to switch out of run mode
If you can reproduce the behavior in a VI which you are able to post on the forum, I am sure we will be able to figure out what steps are needed to edit the VI.

How do I force Qt to open all vids maximized? + Ignore imbedded autoplay?

Every time I open a movie, QT opens it in the default video size, and every time I have to maximize it. I'm tired of doing that! WMP and REAL both have the ability to open all vids in maximized mode, but I can't find that option in QT. Is there any way to force it to override the default video size on the file and open the QT window in maximized mode (not fullscreen, just maximized)?
And while I'm on the subject of overriding default video file settings, how do I force QT to ingore the "play on start" setting in the video file? I've uncheck the option on the QT player preferences to play files when opened, but the program still uses the imbedded setting on the .Mov files.

MySQL query works fine for Debug mode not during regular run mode

Hello fellow Java gurus,
I'm very much confused at the moment. I have an Java application that populates and accesses a MySQL database. It's a little complicated to explain but basically I've got a few threads that manipulate it. The database itself can handle multiple client connections.
Now, my first SQL query determines whether records exist within a particular timeframe, since one of my columns is a time of arrival (toa). This works fine in debug and normal run mode. My second SQL query is only executed once the first query returns true, which occurs 100% of the time. The second query is very similar, however, has the very weird behaviour of working the way I want it during debugging mode, but doesn't work at all during normal run mode. I really do not understand. I've tried running the 2nd query using the same connection and also a different connection as to the 1st query but it really doesn't make a difference to the non-working outcome.
If anyone has any ideas as to as to why this is happening, please help me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am desperate at the moment.
Kind regards,
Mitch.

Sorry everyone, I've been able to solve it. My boolean variables were being set to their opposite values! Silly me.... cheers anyway....

Library opens all files in it after I click on it

Hi Everybody
When I double click on my library it opens all files in it. I have another library, which after I click opens only a dialog box to chose the file to open.
Now, how do I determine how the library should behave, either it should open all vis at the opening either it will pop up with dialog box.
Thanks in advance

Each vi that configured as main in llb will open after double-clicking on llb. For editing of vi's configuration in llb select Tools/Edit Vi Library, select llb file, and select which files will be main.

Running Mac 10.5.8 Updated to FF 8.0 - keeps crashing whenever FF opens - can not launch safe mode either - looks like many people here are having same issue - solutions all keep saying it ha.... see detail

Running Mac 10.5.8 Updated to FF 8.0 - keeps crashing whenever FF opens - can not launch safe mode either - looks like many people here are having same issue - solutions all keep saying it has something to do with roboform 7.6.2 (which is for windows) or the profile. I have created new profile and updated the mac roboform - still no luck - have sent in MANY crash reports with no response ( one was Crash ID: bp-0eea6eb2-aba3-478a-bfb1-8f00d2111110 ) - anyone else find solution other than roboform or profile, or how do i get back to prior version?

Any suggestions?

How can I close all open subVI front panels, without closing my top level VI front panel when all VIs are built into executables?

I'm using the code shown in the sample VI discussed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/353A696A3F393D9B86256E8B007A2912
to close all open VIs except my top level VI. My top level VI is actually a separate executable and the sub-VIs are their own executables. All reside under the same project. It works very well if I'm running in LabView but will not work when I build them. I added all the sub-VIs to the Always Include box in my top level VIs properties which did nothing. I also tried adding them to the Startup VIs box. This allowed me to close them all programmatically from the top level VI but it also open all the VIs at once (which was expected and not desired). I think the problem is the executables are not able to see outside their own memory space so the top-level VI never finds any other open front panels to close. Is this correct? Is there another way to go about doing this?
Thanks!

Where do I begin…..
I’m using a “server” to control 4 “client” PCs. My server opens references to 4 VIs on each client then executes them sequentially. So on a normal day, the server will run everything itself and I will have no contact with the clients. But on a several occasions, I’ve needed the ability to walk up to one of the clients and run just one of the 4 VIs.
We are updating from LabView 6.1 to 8.5 and we want to run executables rather than VIs for various reasons. I have a new VI running on the client PCs who’s only function is to initialize the shared variables and open/close the VIs. I initially thought of making the remaining 4 VIs sub-VIs but I will loose the ability to run them individually. I think I would also have to rewrite the VI running on the server since the 4 references it originally opened do not exist. I don’t think you can open a reference to a sub-VI on another PC. Can you???
As you can see, this is a huge mess. I’m still pretty new with LabView so any help you can provide would be great.

No VISA Resources in Labview but all present in MAX

Hi,
I am unable to find any VISA resources from LabVIEW, however, all NI hardware is available and working in MAX. I have just installed a PCI-8433/2 as well as a NI PCI-8512 CAN/HS Card. As part of the installation I believe MAX was upgraded to version 4.6.2. I will attach the max configuration report for those who are interested. I am working with LabView 8.2. I also uninstalled an agilent GPIB card and as a result the NI-GPIB card is the sole controller and is GPIB0... instead of the agilent card.
I have had a similar problem before that was a result of a corrupted database, but I was unable to find this problem on the forums this time and I am not getting any errors. Just an empty VISA Resource control.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Go to Solution.

Now that IS odd.
Can you show a couple screen shots from MAX?
First expand the software tab and post a png of the screenshot (I'm not yet convinced you do not have SOME driver issue)
Next select MAX>TOOLS>NI VISA>VISA Options- Wait for the new screen then expand Mysystem General settings and select Aliases.
You could also try "Clear all aliases" from there and reboot.

Initially opening a stand alone application not in run mode.

When opening a stand alone application for the first time, how can I not have it automatically start in run mode? I want the user to click the white arrow first to start the program. Are there any ways to get around this? Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes. Here's how:
When you build your executable, there are several screens in which you set parameters.
Under "Source File Settings", check "Set VI Properties for all contained items".
Click the "Customize VI Properties" button. Another dialog box will pop up listing the VI properties.
Under "Execution", uncheck "Use VI Property".
Make sure "Run When Opened" is unchecked.
Now, when you build your executable, your user will have to press the white arrow to start the VI.
Hope this helps,
d

Hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

Marco,
Here are some suggestions:
1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.
    On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.
    Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
     You must get this working before continuing.
      You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.
     (On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).
    On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.
    Click on Serial and Parallel.
    Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.
    Open a VISA Test Panel.
    Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
   Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)
   Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)
   The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.
   Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.
   If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.
   (Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.)
I hope this helps,
steve

The solution is easy.
Install "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" free edition and use it. This program found malware in your pc. After that clean this malware. Finally instal Firefox again and enyoy it because this installation is correct and clean. Regards.

After installing 3.6 FF won't open even in the safe mode, I click on the icon and nothing happens at all

I installed 3.6 and now FF won't open even in the safe mode. I restored my computer setting back to where I was running 3.5.13 but it still doesn't work...some files must have been deleted when I upgraded that weren't put back even when going back to the older version but I have no idea what to look for or what to do even if I find them. Can you please help me?

Using system restore can create problems as well as solving them. I have seen system restore destroy a Firefox setup. The installation may be OK but to be sure perform a clean install
# [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstall Firefox]
# Delete the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory], default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
# Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ and install it
If Firefox still does not start, try creating a new profile folder. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows].
If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile]. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.
