MathScript & Labview 2009

Hi,
i#ve worked in the past with Labview, where i had a Full Development
Solution together with Mathscript.
With LV2009 it seems, that MathScript is only available in the
Professional Development System (OK, here is MathScript with Realtime
Features available).
Have i done something wrong @ installation or is it a fact, that i
have to upgrade to Professional Version now ?
Thanks for any help
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I wanted to clarify a few points that are related to your post.
With LabVIEW 2009, MathScript RT is a separate module, which means that it will need to be activated separately during installation, just as you would any other LabVIEW add-on modules. The LabVIEW 2009 MathScript RT Module is included with both LabVIEW Student Edition and the Academic Site License. For these options, the MathScript RT Module will install and can be activated alongside other LabVIEW components using the same serial number.
LabVIEW MathScript RT 2009 can be installed into the Full, Professional, and Student Editions of LabVIEW 2009. Deployment of a VI that includes a MathScript RT script node to a Realtime Target requires installation of the LabVIEW 2009 RT Module as well.

Upgrade Mathscript LabVIEW 2009

Hello
I have developped an application in LabVIEW 8.6 that
contains a large MathScript node. it's time to upgrade to LabVIEW 2009
and i am facing problems in that. I have the Mathscript RT Module
installed and activated on my computer.
I should emphasize that
the application works perfectly in 8.6. After the first execution in
2009 version, i got 2 run-time errors:
-90031 : "unknown output
variable". The variable is of string type. it's pointed in a red dot
(see picture). I have never seen that red dot before...
another
error in another node: -20104: input parameter have at least one NaN
element. What's a NaN element? this error occurs in a line that looks
like A=median(B) where B is a row vector.
also in this second
node, i have a lot of output variables pointed in red dots, the string
outputs and some of the double precision as well.
What
are the requirements to upgrade to LabVIEW 2009, as far as MathScript
is concerned? are there issues to be considered? major changes i should
be aware of?
Thank you very much
Sam

Thanks Jattas
i am still confused about the coercion dots but since they don't necessarily indicate problems with the code, i'll keep the focus on something else to begin with. i beleive i should look for solutions for the whole upgrade. What i did not mention in the first post (because not sure if related to Mathscript) is the error messages i have on saving the VI before quitting, i also got those messages while loading the VI.
Attached are 3 messages that appeared (Please see pics). The result is obviously a borken arrow:VI failed to complie, Mathscript node failed to compile.
that would be a nice discussion with NI support but it's hard to explain these things on the phone. i am gathering every information that might be relevent for the migration.
thanks again

Mathscript node: an internal mathscript error has occurred: 64-bit LabVIEW 2009

Hi Folks -
I have an installation now of
LabVIEW 2009 9.03f, Vision, and Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit, all
64-bit versions on a new computer so that I can convert some code from
32- to 64-bit.
I figure I will address errors
one-by-one and here's the first one. I have a VI with a mathscript
node and the VI, which loaded and ran fine in the 32-bit environment,
is now broken and giving the error "mathscript node: an internal
mathscript error has occurred." My main concern - is mathscript not
supported in 64-bit LabVIEW right now?
I am attaching the VI. Any ideas are appreciated. I need to get this working.
Also, NI, is there a special 64-bit forum that we should post to in the future, or create to post to?
Sincerely,
Don

From 2009 help
LabVIEW MathScript is a text-based language you can use to write functions and scripts. You can process scripts using LabVIEW MathScript in the LabVIEW MathScript Window or a MathScript Node. When you create a LabVIEW MathScript, you must use supported data types.
The MathScript syntax is an intuitive and logical
syntax predominantly based on standard mathematical and computer
programming terms, terms in widespread and common use, and/or
descriptive abbreviations, truncations and concatenations of standard
terms. The LabVIEW MathScript Window and MathScript
Nodes are able to process files you create using the current MathScript
syntax and, for backwards compatibility, files you created using legacy
MathScript syntaxes. The LabVIEW MathScript Window
and MathScript Nodes also can process certain of your files that use
other text-based syntaxes, such as files you created using the MATLAB® software. Because the MathScript RT Module engine is used to process scripts in the LabVIEW MathScript Window
and MathScript Nodes, and because the MathScript RT Module engine does
not support all syntaxes, not all existing text-based scripts are
supported.
(LabVIEW 64-bit) LabVIEW MathScript is not supported in LabVIEW (64-bit).

MathScript RT Module - LabVIEW 2009 Mac

Hello everyone,
I recently bought LabVIEW 2009 Student Edition and I am using it on Mac OS X (Leopard). The checklist that came with the software says it comes with MathScript RT Module (for Mac), but that I should contact NI in order to get this module (free). I looked online at ni.com and I only found the Windows version. Can someone PLEASE post it or send me the link where to get it? I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Installing 64 bit version of toolkit and modules for Labview 2009 64 bit?

Hello I recently contacted NIabout installing Mathscript and Signal processing toolkits for my Labview 200964 bit that I am running on Windows 7. I was sent the following link as aresponse: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/10383. From this link it is my understanding that I cannot run any programs thatcontain an astrestik, since they only work for 32 bit version of Labview? In particular I really need to use Mathscript. Is there any workarounds? Do I have to also install the Labview 2009 32 bit version? Doesanyone know when Labview will allow me to run everything in the 64 bit versionof Labview? Thanks.
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
There is no workaround available, and there are no released dates as to if/when Windows 7 x64 support for the toolkits in question will be introduced.
The LabVIEW Mathscript RT Module is not supported in LabVIEW 64-bit as mentioned at the bottom of the following page: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lvhowto/labview_mathscript/ .

Favor to ask : can you open this labview 2009 Vi and save it for me in a Labview 8.6 readable vi ?

Hi guys,
I have a favor to ask : May somebody would be nice enough to open this Labview 2009 VI and save it in a Labview 8.6 readable VI ? You'll probably have some missing blocks cause I use specials ones but I don't want to have to re-make all the VI.
Thanks you very much

Run-time engine problem in Labview 2009 and Labview 2010

I have a problem with Labview 2009 and Labview 2010. I updated my Labview 2009 into 2010. But it turned out to be a trial one, because i did not have the serial number. So I uninstalled the Labview 2010. however, the funny stuff came over. I cannot use my Labview 2009. So i uninstalled Labview 2009 again. But eventually, I could not reinstall Labview 2009. Every time i had a runtime error and i could not proceed with the installation. in addition, any installation related to Labview is not permitted and the same error came up every time. it is very annoying.
So, What is the deal?
I attached the error here. Any comments or advice are welcomed and appreciated.

By chance is this machine's language set to any non-English locale? You would check the locale setting by:
Opening Control Panel.
Opening "Regional and Language Options".
Looking Under "Regional Options" >> "Standards and Formats"
If it is set to something besides English, trying setting it to English and please report back what locale it was set to (or if this even solves the problem).

Potential Bug with LabVIEW 2009, Report Generation Toolkit, and MS Office 2003

We have discovered an issue with the above listed software. Specifically this pertains to Print Report.vi in the Report Gen palette. Basically, we have discovered that with Office 2003 installed the VI will error out. We've been using it in an executable, and the executable physically fails (and asks us to report an error to Microsoft). With Office 2007 we don't have a problem. We've tried building the examples into executables, and those work because they are printing HTML reports.
Also, we have converted back to LabVIEW 8.6 and rebuilt the executable and installed and it works perfectly. Its on the combination of LabVIEW 2009 and Office 2003 that seems to fail.

yeah, we had seen that, and been told about it by another user. we tried, to no avail. we still have ended up having to migrate back to 8.6.1 to get the executable to run properly.

LabVIEW 2009 crashes at startup with the presence of a certain CRT version on the system

When installing our LabVIEW integration package on a system running
LabVIEW 2009 LabVIEW will crash at startup afterwards. Using 'dependency
walker' reveals, that 'nicont.dll' causes this crash because of a
side-by-side configuration problem. After some debugging I found out
that on this particular system installing a certain version of the
Microsoft CRT will stop LabVIEW from functioning. My fix now is to
recompile our code with a newer version of VS. I now ship a VS9 version
of the runtime and everything is working as expected.
However
I guess the real problem lies within the LabVIEW installer. I guess a
needed version of the CRT is not installed by LabVIEW. It still works
because due to some policy files on the machine it gots defaulted to a
compatible version at startup. However when I install the following 2
merge modules on the target system LabVIEW does no longer work:
Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm (file version inside: 8.0.50727.762)
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm (file version inside: 8.0.50727.4053)
Renaming
the *.policy file in the SxS dir on the target system gets LabVIEW back
to run, but of course other SW needing this file does not run then
I was using XP, 32 bit SP 3
I can provide additional information if needed. Is this a known problem? Is there a fixed version of LabVIEW already?
Message Edited by anotherStefan on 02-05-2010 05:44 AM

Sure! I tried to attach the installer causing the problem to this message.
However I failed miserably(BAD GATEWAY from the upstream server). Where can I upload the installer to or what do I need to do?
It will install some other stuff as well (A bunch of VIs, a DLL and an
OCX(this needs the CRT I have trouble with)and the CRT and MFC runtimes I
mentioned. An updated version of the installer can be obtain here(however it does no longer show the issue):
http://www.matrix-vision.com/functions/count.php?url=products/hardware/family/SC/mvBlueFOX/LabVIEW_a...
The only difference between the two packages is, that the OCX in the
attached file has been build using VS2005SP1 and in the package the link
points to I did use VS2008. Apart from that I changed the 2 merge
modules from Microsoft (CRT and MFC)

Migrating large project from DSC 7.1 to LabView 2009 Shared Variables ... What's the next step after recreating my variables?

I am in the process of migrating a large distributed (multi-workstation) automation system from the LabVIEW 7.11 DSCEngine on Windows XP to the LabVIEW 2009 Shared Variable Engine on Windows 7.
I have about 600 tags which represent data or IO states in a series of Opto22 instruments, accessible via their OptoOPCServer. There are another 150 memory tags which are used so the multiple workstations can trade requests and status information to coordinate motion and process sequencing. Only one workstation may be allowed to run the Opto22 server, because otherwise the Opto22 instruments are overwhelmed by the multiple communications requests; for simplicity, I'll refer to that workstation as the Opto22 gateway.
The LabVIEW 2009 migration tool was unable to properly migrate the Opto22 tags, but with some help from NI support (thank you, Jared!) and many days of pointing and clicking, I have successfully created a bound shared-variable library connecting to all the necessary data and IO. I've also created shared variables corresponding to the memory tags. All the variables have been deployed.
So far, so good. After much fighting with Windows 7 network location settings, I can open the Distributed System Manager on a second W7/LV2009 machine (I'll refer to it as the "remote" machine henceforth) and see the processes and all those variables on the Opto22 gateway workstation. I've also created a few variables on the remote workstation and confirmed that I can see them from the gateway workstation.
Now I need to be able to use (both read and write) the variables in VIs running on the remote workstation machine. (And by extension, on more remote workstations as I do the upgrade/migration).
I have succeeded in reading and writing them by creating a tag reader pointed at the URL for the process on the Opto22 gateway. I can see a way I could replace the old DSC tag reads and writes in my applications using this technique, but is this the right way to do this? Is this actually using the Shared Variable Engine, or is it actually using the DataSocket? I know for a fact that attempting to manipulate ~800 items via Datasocket will bog down the systems.
I had the impression that I should be able to create shared variables in my project on the remote workstation that link to those on the Opto22 gateway workstation. When, however, I try to browse to find the processes on that workstation, I get an error saying that isn't possible.
Am I on the right track with the tag reader? If not, is there some basic step I'm missing in trying to access the shared variables I created on the gateway workstation?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I have found the answer to part of my question -- an relatively easy way to create a "remote" library of shared variables that connect to the master library on my gateway workstation.
Export the variables from the master library as a csv file and copy that to the remote machine.
Open the file on the remote machine (in excel or the spreadsheet app of your choice) and (for safety's sake) immediately save it with a name marking it as the remote version.
Find the network path column (it was "U" in my file).
replace the path for each variable (which will be either a long file path or a blank, depending on the kind of variable) with \\machine\'process name'\variable name
where machine is the name or ip address of the master (gateway) workstation (I used the ip address to make sure it uses my dedicated automation ethernet network rather than our building-wide network)
and process name is the name of the process with the deployed variables visible in the Distributed System Manager on the gateway machine.
NOTE the single quotes around the process name; they are required.
The variable name is in the first ("A") column, so in Excel, I could do this for line 2 with the formula =CONCATENATE("\\machine\'process name'\",A2)
Once the formula worked on line 2, I could copy it into all the other lines.
Save the CSV file.
Import the CSV into the remote library to create the variables.
Note: at this point, if you attempt to deploy the variables, it will fail. The aliases are not quite set properly yet.
Open the properties for the first imported variable.
There is probably an error message at the bottom saying the alias is invalid.
In the alias section, you'll see it is set to "Project Variable" with the network path from step 4.
Change the setting to "PSP URL" with the same path and the error message should disappear.
Close the properties box, save the library, and then export the variables to a new CSV file.
Open the new CSV file in Excel, and scroll sideways to the NetworkrojectBound field.
You'll notice it is False for the first variable, and true for the rest. Set the field FALSE for all lines in the spreadsheet.
Scroll sideways... you'll notice there are two new columns between NetworkrojectPath and Network:UseBinding
The first one is NetworkingleWriter; it should already be FALSE for all lines.
The second one is Network:URL. That needs to be set equal to the value for each line of NetworkrojectPath.
You can accomplish this with a formula like in step 4. In Excel it was =U2 for line 2, and then cut and paste into all lines below it.
There is a third new field, Path, which should already be set to the location of the variable library. You don't need to do anything with it.
Save the edited CSV file.
Go back to the remote library, and import variables from the just-edited remote library CSV file.
Once you have imported them and the Multiple Variable Editor opens, click on done.
You should now be able to deploy the remote variable library without error. (Make sure to open the Distributed System Manager and start the local variable engine. It took me a few failures before I realized I had to do that before attempting a deployment).
Voila! You now have a "remote" library of shared variables that references all the shared variables on the master machine, and which should be deployable on other machines with very little difficulty.
It actually took longer to write out the process here than to perform these steps once I figured it out.

Help needed in adding custom About box in built application in LabVIEW 2009

Hello,
Can anyone please help me add custom About box in built application in LabVIEW 2009? I had successfully built my application in labview 8.6, 8.5 and 8.2 before to include custom About box. However, when I tried the same method in LabVIEW 2009, it only showed LabVIEW 2009 About box rather than my custom About box.
Here is what I did:
1) Wrote an "About Application.vi" in the built VI folder;
2) Included this "About Application.vi" in the "Always Included" section of Source Files in Application Build;
3) Built the application;
4) Ran the built application, the About box showed only LabVIEW 2009 about (attached a picture).
You can see that on the upper left corner of the picture, there is my custom icon.
Your help is greatly appreciated,

UDP Error when upgrading from Labview 8.6 to Labview 2009

I recently updgraded from Labview 8.6 to Labview 2009. I am writing an application to stream data to disk from UDP. My VIs run just fine in Labview 8.6, but when I try to run them in Labview 2009 my UDP read times out despite being able to monitor UDP traffic and see that the data is being sent and nothing in the file is changed from 8.6 to 2009. Is there a known issue related to this?

How are you moniting the UDP traffic? Have you verified that the port you are trying to use is actually available? When you installed 2009 there may have been an additional service installed that may have used the port you're trying to use. If you're running on Windows you can use the command "netstat -n -o -a" to see all the ports that are currently in use, as well as the process ID that has that port open.
