Hi,
I would like to understand is there any compatible issue for Labwindows CVI 2009 with NI VISA 4.4.1? If so can you please direct me to the right document where this is document.
Can you also tell me what is the version of NI VISA for Labwindow CVI 2009. Please reply at the earliest.

Apparently HP has stopped updating that application for Firefox. It wasn't available for Firefox 3.6 last year and now - not for 4.0 either.

Mysql database connection with Labwindows/CVI 2009 sql toolkit

Dear experienced users,
I am using the following software/hardware:
Windows 7/ Mysql database 5.6.15 64-bit with MySql ODBC 5.2 Ansi driver installed
Labwindows/CVI 2009 with sql toolkit
The user DSN of ODBC Data source administrator have been confiugred to one of mysql database. The test MYSQL Connector/ODBC is succesful.
The Labwindows/CVI build setting is configure to debug64 after trying debug (32)
The source code is from the example readtab.c with changes to the dsn I am testing
hdbc = DBConnect ("DSN=dvd_collection");
The error message I have is confusing me.
(it is in the attachd png)
I thought it was due to the 64 bit mysql database. That's why I tried the 64 bit build from Labwiondws/CVI. I alsow tried Labview DB tools open connect.vi. It shows me the same error.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jimmy

I always use connection strings of the form "DSN=datasourcename;UID=database_user_id; PWD=database_user_password".
Where:
datasourcename = The name of the connection defined in the ODBC connection.
database_user_id = One of the user identities created by the database administrator. Obviously the administrator will lock down the permissions appropriate to the task in hand.
database_user_password = The password that identifies database_user_id, again set by the database administrator.
Note that while it is obviously desireable to lock the permissions down as far as possible on the MySQL server, the more you do so, the slower the database will run, because of the way mySQL searches the permissions tables.

Turbo,
There isn't a document that covers all the features from 6.0 to 2009, though there are documents that talk about individual upgrades.
http://www.ni.com/lwcvi/whats_new.htm
Also this document covers the upgrades since 8.0 http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7995
There have been quite a few upgrades, you can always download an evaluation version and test it out for yourself http://www.ni.com/lwcvi/try.htm

LabWindows CVI 2009 Word_Rpt routines: Document is corrupted: Error reported: The MSWORD.OLB file cannot be opened.?

Using WordRpt support routines with a C application in LabWindows CVI 2009 to format Word files, an error sometimes occurs resulting in the document format being corrupted. An error is generated: The MSWORD.OLB file cannot be opened. I don't know why or how to correct this problem.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

Hi LPR1,
Do you have an application that reproduces this. If so, do you mind posting it?

LabWindows/CVI 2009 Run-Time Engine update

I wanted to let everyone know that NI has released an udpated CVI 2009 Run-Time Engine. Information on what bug(s) this update fixes can be found here. If you are currently not using the CVI 2009 Run-Time Engine, you do not need to install this update.
This is an updated installation of the CVI Run-Time Engine, not a patch. If you download and install this update it will upgrade whichever version of the CVI Run-Time Engine you currently have to version 9.1.0.428 (CVI 2009 released with version 9.1.0.427). One way to find out which version of the CVI Run-Time Engine you have installed is to view the version number of c:\windows\system32\cvirte.dll. If you install version 9.1.0.428, any installer distributions that you create from any version of the CVI ADE will include version 9.1.0.428.
If you have not yet installed LabWindows/CVI 2009, it's recommended that you install this update, either before or after you install CVI 2009.
Luis

To be clear, the original problem that you reported ("Attempt to free pointer to memory not allocated by malloc() or calloc()") might very have been the problem that this patch fixed, which was in fact new to 2009. But that problem only happens if there were actual plots in the graph.
However, after looking at the "dynamic memory is corrupt" isse some more, it turns out that it is actually expected behavior, believe it or not. This is a limitation of easytab controls, caused by how they use callback chaining in their implementation. Whenever a panel or a control has its callback chained, you cannot change the callback, or make a copy of it after the chaining takes place. This is described in the EasyTab_ConvertFromCanvas function help ("...For the same reasons, do not call DuplicatePanel or DuplicateCtrl on any of these panels or controls after the Easy Tab control has been created.").
As you probably have read elsewhere, easytab controls are quite obsolete. They were a stopgap "solution" to the problem of there not being a native tab control in the CVI user interface library. Native tab controls were finally added in CVI 8.0, and so we recommend that, if possible, users update their code to use these instead.

LabWindows CVI 2009 9.1.0 - Build 64-bit Apps?

I have LabWindows/CVI 2009 (version 9.1.0 427). Can I build my apps as 64-bit apps? Do I need a service pack upgrade to do this? Or do I need to upgrade to a higher version of LCVI?
Thanks

LabWindows/CVI 2009 introduced the ability to create and distribute 64-bit executables, DLLs, and static libraries, see e.g. here

CVI crashes when compiling with VISA

LabWindows/CVI does not compile when I try to use VISA:
For a very simple program (only UI, no multithreading, instrument communication whatsoever), when I include "visa.h", it does not compile anymore and crashes occasionally:
- When I hit "Compile File", it states "A custom callback raised an exception.".
- When I hit "Debug Project" (green Triangle), CVI crashes without explanation.
VISA itself seems to work fine, since I can do basic communication with a USB-connected oscilloscope by using [Tools > Create Instrument I/O Task"] as well as generic VISA Interactive Control.
CVI itself seems to work fine, too, since I can compile & run programms which for example use direct access to GPIB without VISA.
I'm running: Windows 7 (64bit AMD), LabWindows/CVI 9.1.0. (428), VISA Interactive Control (5.0.3 / 4.0).
Thanks in advance..

Hi
try to repair of your CVI installation by choosing Control Panel » Add or Remove Programs » National Instruments Software and opting to repair the Development System that you have
installed.
Select National Instruments Software and click Change/Remove. This will open a new window with all of the National Instruments software you have installed on your computer.

Deployment issue: compatiblity issue with ODP, instant vs full client on PC

After a lot of deployment issues with full client, we thought we had the solution with Instant Client.
It worked great for a while, but now some of our users have full Oracle 11 client installed after installing our Instant Client because of other software that requires full client.
As soon as they install full client, our Instant Client breaks:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib)
The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory' threw an exception.
The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client (Oracle Data Provider for .NET)
Our instant client is compiled with 2.111.6.20, the client is installing a different version (though I tried installing exactly same version does not seem to work either)
I've been experimenting to redirect the version to another assembly but no success.
How can I make Instant Client and Full client co-exist? The whole idea of using Instant was to be independent of other software who needs ODP.NET...
What do you do when 2 apps need different versions of ORacle ODP.NET (e.g. 2.111.6.0 vs. 2.112.1.0)?
Note that I don't have source code access to "our" app, so if it is at all possible through configuration, that is a prefered solution.
I also don't control our customers deployment strategy, they roll out apps over 1000's of PC's

According to documentation at [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20434_01/doc/win.112/e23174/featConfig.htm]
>
Configuration File Support
For customers who have numerous applications on a computer that depends on a single version of ODP.NET, the Windows Registry settings for a given version of ODP.NET may not necessarily be applicable for all applications that use that version of ODP.NET. To provide more granular control, ODP.NET Configuration File Support allows developers to specify ODP.NET configuration settings in an application config, web.config, or a machine.config file.
If a computer does not require granular control beyond configuration settings at the ODP.NET version level, there is no need to specify ODP.NET configuration settings through configuration files.
The following is an example of a web.config file for .NET Framework 2.0 and higher:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="DllPath" value="C:\oracle\bin"/>
<add name="FetchSize" value="131072"/>
<add name="PromotableTransaction" value="promotable"/>
<add name="StatementCacheSize" value="10"/>
<add name="TraceFileName" value="C:\odpnet2.trc"/>
<add name="TraceLevel" value="63"/>
<add name="TraceOption" value="1"/>
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
</configuration>

Browser usually crashes whenever I want to upload a Word or PDF file? is that an OS issue or compatible issue with Word for Mac

A lot of times I would have to reset Safari while I do this and then it might work afterwards, I just find it annoying and time consuming, sometimes I might have to reboot my machine as well. Not sure whether it's an OS issue or an issue with Word that the system doesn't like word too much. I get the spinning ball and I have to do a hard force quit using my keyboard in order to stop the browser when it stops responding, then go ahead and reset safari like I stated previously.

I have tried Opera, which is somewhat better but it crashes if I have to look for the file within the system like with Safari, it will by default look on the desktop, if I try to change it to documents for example that's when it can go crazy, with Opera it will by default open in documents but say if I wanted to change it to desktop to look for the file, it can go loopy. Looks like it either the browser or OS doesn't like changing different folders to upload files.
How's Firefox on a Mac? is it better than on Windows?

Possible compatiblity issues with 875 Neo...

Just noticed something strange...
I'm currently using an ATI 9700 pro card,which is one of the first revisions,since i purchased it last september(Rev 1.2),and while i installed the latest drivers for it,which were released just today(CAT 3.5's),the system was crashing to the desktop left and right on any game,regardless if it was opengl or Direct 3D,sometimes the system just completely froze altogether,forcing a hard reboot ....
After quite a few restarts and making sure that the driver was properly installed,i disabled AGP 8x and fastwrites, using ATI's smartgart uitility and the problems completely vanished....
Thing is,i was using AGP 8x with the 9700 pro when the board was still running bios 1.4 without any issues(fastwrites was still disabled though),so is it possible for MSI to check it out themselves...

Upgrading to the latest drivers/firmwares does not means that it\'ll really be compatible to all mobo\'s versions... and all BIOS upgrades does not stands that it will be the most stable or compatible BIOS...
This is what I did always when I want to find out whether 2 or more drivers/firmwares/BIOS work as unite... I\'ll have to test them in sets... i.e 1.4 BIOS to 3.5 Catalyst > 1.4 BIOS to previous versions of catalyst > 1.5 BIOS to 3.5 catalyst > 1.5 BIOS to previous catalyst.
This may seems tedious but this is one of the ways to get things tested and confirmed that they run smoothly if you wan to upgrade BIOS/drivers etc...
Be warned that if you flash your BIOS incorrectly, there\'s a high risk of mobo failure.
All the Best... :D!!!
Did further testing,and the problem is repeatable....
At AGP 8x settings,any game will either lock up hard,forcing a reboot,or the screen will go blank while the game sound keeps going,all in the first 30 sec to 2 min of starting the game,regardless if it's a direct 3d or opengl game...
At AGP 4x,everything runs smoothly for hours on end,so it's definately something between the 9700 pro and the latest bios for the board as far as AGP 8x compatibility goes...
I know that there's no performance difference between AGP 8x and 4X,but still,i know that the card can run with AGP 8x just fine,because it did with bios 1.2~1.4,so would it be possible for you to report this back to MSI,thanks... 8)

SLI compatiblity issues with NF980-G65

Hi, I consider myself average for tech knowledge. Just enough to get myself into trouble.
I currently have a NF980-G65. I just upgraded to a second GTX 470 from nVidia for SLI. However when I run any application that is SLI compatible the bottom half of the screen shakes and wobbles. This happens even if I swap GPU positions on the board, so I know its not the GPU itself, and only happens when SLI is enabled. I contacted nVidia, we troubleshot for a while, but they concluded it was the BIOS. I tried finding an updated BIOS on the site, but it seems the latest version isn't compatible with Windows 7 64bit.
At this point I'm at a loss as to what to do to fix this.

Quote from: UnseenGuardian on 03-August-10, 03:31:05
I am having very similar problems, same mobo as you but different cards. I noticed this right away after building the rig and playing Starcraft 2, bottom half of screen glitches and flashes. Cards are both good. I have narrowed it down as well to something in the SLI bridge (or the way the PCI bus is used with the bridges connected), because once removed the problem goes away.
Now I have done benchmarking in Heaven Benchmark 2.0, and have found about a 3-5% drop in frame rates with the SLI Bridge REMOVED. This is not very significant, so at worse case scenario you could try leaving the bridge off and benchmarking to see if you get similar results.
I would obviously prefer to have a bridge for the extra boost in performance but with the glitches I would rather have them gone.
I would like to try this to see if I can have the best SLI performance and no glitching, mrinfinit3, could you help a guy out with a link to how you got your asus SLI bridge? I am concerned that if I buy a 'hard bridge' it won't fit as all mobo manufacturers seem to have slightly different distances between slots.
I'm sorry it took so long to reply to ya bud... ya here's the link http://estore.asus.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=229
I'm using 2 of them (one on each finger) you'll notice rite away that they fit better (more resistance when sliding the on)
I personally got mine from misc. asus builds Ive done for customers here in @ the shop. I have an asus hard bridge but it's slightly too long for the 16x-16x slots.. but since this issue has happened..
I'm getting a rather large collection of MSI bridges now. lol

Compatible issue with ie6

I built a web site using Dreamweaver CS3 for my self. (
http://www.freewebs.com/coolauto
It works perfect in IE 7, but in IE6 it doesn't work
properly. On the home page, when you move the mouse on to one of
the menu buttons, it should have a half transparent background
displayed. It works fine IE7, but it doesn't work in IE6. Can
anybody tell me why and how I can fix the problem.
The second issue is how I can make the background image
downloading quicker or progessively.
Please help.

Assume that your navigation is going to remain an all image
affair just
create the transparent roll-over image effect in your image
editing
software and use that instead of the transparent block of
grey png image.
As for your downloading problem you should slice that image
up. Using
large images like that is not really the most efficient and
user
friendly way to proceed.
Its an easy enough design to section into various components
i.e.,
header, navigation, content, news, footer. Everyone will
benefit from it.

Having compatiblity issues with adobe reader. What pdf file software should I use with Mac

Having problem with Adobe reader what software works well on mac for pdf file creation/reading and sending via email. Also how do I uninstall adobe reader so that all hints of it are erased.

To remove the Adobe PDF Reader:
1. Drag the Adobe Reader folder from the Applications folder to the Trash
2. Remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin from the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder
Macs offer good PDF capability in the operating system. You can use Word or other program to create somthing you want to save/send in PDF format, then choose print, click on the PDF button at the bottom of the print window, where you can choose to email the PDF file.

The application uninstaller ,created with Labwindows CVI, doesn´t work after upgrading to 2010 version

Hi,
I have been working with Labwindows CVI 2009 with no problem but after upgrading to 2010 version I have the following problem:
When i´m going to execute the unistaller, either from Windows Control Panel or directly from the uninst.exe icon, it doesn´t work. The PC thinks a few seconds and does nothing, and it happens with all the applications I build with Labwindows CVi 2010.
Thanks,

Hello -
Are you installing these distributions on a non-English operating system? If so, the first thing to try would be the workaround listed on this known issue.
The known issue only lists Italian OSs as the troublesome OS, but it could actually happen on many different non-English OSs. I will update the text accordingly the next time I update the known issues list.
