LV 8.0.1 'NOT RESPONDING' and/or 'split' and unusable front panel while scrolling

Hello,
Is anyone aware of any display or front-panel glitches and bugs with LV 8.0.1?  I have been using LV for years, but I have never seen the front panel tear itself (literally) in sections while I use the standard scoll bars at the edges of teh screen, then become completely unusable and go into [NOT RESPONDING] mode (???). In other words, my front panel displays have always moved as one continuous piece when scrolling.  During these recent episodes, I would use the scroll bars and parts of my front panel displays would not move while the other section(s) tore away and scrolled as I commanded.  When this happens, my entire PC would slow down, the CPU usage would rise and a approach 100%, and the VI was unusable.  I have been writing a particular VI for several months, starting in LV 6.1, then LV 8.0 PRO-DEV, and recently upgraded to the LV 8.0.1 'maintenance' release.  The problem that  I describe here began to occur within two weeks of the maintenance upgrade.  The problem seemed to be propagating to my back-up version after I opened each VI in unsuccessful attempts to find a VI that did not appear corrupted.  It seemed as if any VI that I opened was going to be plagued by the bug that I described above and I thought that I was going to lose months of expensive work and my job!!!!.  In a last ditch effort ( and a stroke of pure genius) I started saving some of these coorupt version as 'PREVIOUS' in LV7.1 format.  This seems to have turned the situation around, for now, and saved my VIs from becoming corrupted and completely unusable. 
Please let me know if anyone else has seen this.  Also, please let me know how to avoid this, in the future.  Does this indicate corruption of my LV 8.0.1 PRO-DEV environment or the VI files (or both)?  Does NI have tools to correct these corruptions?
Thank you.

Thank you. I can only point to the following events/ techniques that were somewhat different from my previous experiences/ techniques:
1) Performed 'SAVE AS... ' new file name to these files over several months and several times a day using similar filenames with only one number character different between them
2) Logging long data files to the root C: drive and closing in on less < 5GB HDD remaining (could this be overwriting soem temp files that LV uses to manag graphics???)
3) After saving to LV 7.1 and re-opening with LV 8.0, I get a message that is new to me that explained something about wiring a Boolean constant to a case structure and how LV 7.1 or previous used this to keep a sub-vi in memory (???).  Unfortunately for me, I did not capture the exact syntax of this message and I do not wish to intentionally repeat this graphical feature.
4) I copied a small block of code that contained a 'cloned' sub-vi from one block diagram to the a similar VI that , shortly afterward, exhibited the front-panle 'tearing' feature.  This is something that I usually do not do, and, again, is one of the only new actions from anything that I have done in LV for the past several years.
5) After the message described in (3), above, the rescued LV 7.1 version had moved a handful of the most recently added indicators to a very remote location, about 30 seconds of edge-scrolling time, to the left of my front panel graphics.  I perfromed a 'drag' operation by selecting these and bumping them to the right edge of the screen for about 30 seconds to get them back to the vicinity of my front-panel graphics.  I have never experienced a VI that shifted inidcators so far off the edge of the screen.
These are the only ' unique' events that I can recall before the 'tear; effect.
Thank you.

  • Application, once built, shows "Not Responding" in the toolbar, and it doesn't go away

    If you have an application that is running with some kind of timeout, (My application will send a message, and wait for a user definable period of time for a reply). If this tine is over 5 seconds, and the user clicks on the application, the app sets its status to "(Not Responding)". This is mirrored on the toolbar.
    Once the application begins responding again, the title bar of the app changes back to an active state, although the representation of the app on the tool bar stays in a "(Not Responding)" state.
        I have attempted to stop the user click having an effect by setting the cursor to busy and setting the "Click Disable" to TRUE, but this does not help.
    Any ideas how to get round this one? Or is it a bug?
    Cheers, Alec

    I must not be explaing myself propperly.
    Every application that is open has an instance in the task bar
    As you can see here, I am running outlook, labview, firefox and MSN, but don't tell my boss
    Somtimes, when windows things an application has crashed it will place the phrase "(Not Responding)" next to it's name in the task bar. It will also place the word "(Not Responding)" In the title bar for the application.
    I have written a program that calls a .dll. The function of this .dll is to read incomming data up the RS-232 socket of my PC. I can set a timeout on this, lets say I set it to 1 minute.
    The application is running, I call the .dll to read incoming data, then I don't produce any incoming data. The application will wait, up to 60 seconds for some data, but in the mean time, Windows thinks the LabVIEW executable file has crashed, so places the word "(Not responding)" in the taskbar AND in the title bar. At this point I send my data up the 232, the data is received and displayed by the application. At this point Windows forgives LabVIEW and the "(Not Responding)" status is revolked. This phrase is then removed from the title bar, but IS NOT removed from the task bar.
    Does anyone know if we have control over this, or should I report it as a bug to National Instruments?
    Many thanks guys,
    Cheers, Alec

  • Photoshop CS6 is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again

    A weired problem: My new installation of Photoshop CS6 (OS X Mavericks on a new MBP) is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again.
    Example: i open a new file in PS - then i click on the desktop - when i go back to PS again, it is not responding to any click on any window (except for the menu bar).
    I can solve the problem when i try going back several times or when i go back to PS via the icon in the dock.
    But it is still very annoying in a quick workflow.
    I would appreciate any idea what i can check more, cause i tried everything and i can’t find this issue on the web…
    Thanks…

    Problem solved… The troublemaker was the Trackball Works Driver for Kensington trackballs / Expert Mouses…
    I’m now using a generic driver for USB devices and everything is fine.

    hello
    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Is there a way to use the built-in Datalogging and programmatically log the front panel while the vi is running?

    I would like to use the built-in Data Logging feature. There is the "Log at Completion" option, but is there a way to programmatically make a new log record while running? I looked around in VI server and couldn't find any methods that would do that. Currently, I am grabbing all of the front panel control references using VI Server and if there are any changes, the changed values are written to a log file along with a date/time stamp. I'm mostly dealing with buttons, which simply change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, so it's not too hard to visualize what was pressed. It works okay for reconstructing what happened, but it would be much nicer to use the built-in fe
    ature because you can "replay" directly onto the front panel and actually see what the changes were. However, without being able to programmatically make a new log, it won't work for me.

    Jake,
    There are several options here.
    I would suggest using your own code for datalogging. The datalogging you are referring to is primarily for debug, and one shot datalogs of front panel indicators (and controls?), not including graphs, etc.
    If you go to the file functions, you will see a menu for datalogging. These functions will allow you to save your data, as you need it, simply, and in a compact format.
    I recommend opening the datalog file, doing all your file operations, and closing the file before the program is complete. There are several examples of this in the examples database.
    Good luck

    There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
    Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
    Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
    Use of local variables to populate an array.
    Cannot insert values into an empty array.
    What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
    Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

    I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.

    Hi
    The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).

  • HT204053 My partner and I split and I can't change the Alternate Apple ID on my account which is in his name

    My partner and I split and I have changed all my passwords but I am unable to remove/change/edit the Alernate Apple ID which is his me.com email address. Don't think he can access anuthing but sick of looking at his name.

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I am using a USB keyboard and everytime I wake the iMac from sleep the keyboard will not respond unless I unplug and replug the keyboard. I am using a mid-2010 iMac with OSX 10.6. Any help would be appreciated.

    I am currently using a USB keyboard (PC Model) and everytime I wake the computer from sleep the keyboard no longer responds unless I unplug and replug it. The USB mouse I am using works fine with no issues and I have already gone through the prompt to identify the keyboard in the settings. If anyone know of a setting I can use to permenantly enable the keyboard so I no longer have to unplug and replug it that would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
    It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
    Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
    I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
    My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.
