NISE virtual device causes LabVIEW exception error

I can't delete a virtual device because when selected it causes an exception error in LabVIEW. I'm running MAX 4.1 with DAQmx8.3. Do I need to uninstall everything and then reinstall to correct this error?
kph

Okay here is what I remember...
I had MAX 4.0 installed on the computer (not sure of the DAXmx version but probably 8.1) and I went to export a NISE virtual device to a network drive. At that time MAX froze up and I had to kill it with task manager. When I reopened MAX the virtual device gave me a LabVIEW error when I selected it. I was able to rename it and replace it with a backed up version. I then went to delete it but MAX continued to lock up. I read in the discussion forums about the export to network drive issue and the fix with MAX 4.1 so I downloaded DAQmx 8.3 with MAX 4.1 and installed it. Afterwards MAX seemed more stable but I still get the LabVIEW error when I try to select the renamed (broken) virtual device. Also since this started I've been getting weird exception errors when I run my TestStand/LabVIEW code.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

In all likelihood, the dlls are not being replaced because they are in use, and the installer is trying to load the old version which did not get replaced.
You can try manually turning off the synch service and messaging service. Also, make sure the synch manager is not running.
Then uninstall.
Check the installer and synchmanager directoriesw in your C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Web Tools folder (or where ever it was installed) to make sure all .dll and .exe files have been removed. If not, something is probably still open an using them.
If the dll and exes have been cleared out. Then run the installer (the installer that installs the installer )
check the version of the files that were installed in synchmanager and installer directories.
they should be 2007.0.630.10.

Exception errors with GUI

Hello, I've been working on some Java as part of an engineering project, however my skills with Java aren't great, and my skills with GUI and Networking (which this involves) were only as a user before starting this. A problem that I haven't been able to get around is an exception error when using the actionPerformed method from java.awt.* .
My goal is to be able to, when a button is pushed, send a UDP packet with the command of the button to another PC. My understanding from tutorials is that actionPerformed is the method to use for when buttons are pushed, however creating or using a DatagramSocket inside this method causes an exception error (java.net.SocketException). Normally I would just tell it to throw exceptions, but when trying it says it cannot overwrite the method. I thought I got around this by placing the socket within another method and calling that instead, but that just simply caused a different exception (java.lang.Exception).
Any suggestions on how to make this work, or am I using the wrong method for this sort of thing?
Some code snippets:
Version 1
//when the buttons are pushed, this does the actions required.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
DatagramSocket socket = new DatagramSocket(11111); //Error here
Object source = evt.getSource();
Version 2
//when the buttons are pushed, this does the actions required.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
Object source = evt.getSource();
byte[] comm;
if (source == Identify) {
     command = "identify";
     comm = command.getBytes();
     this.sendIt(command); //Errors here
     version = this.getIt(); //and here
Version 3
//when the buttons are pushed, this does the actions required.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)throws Exception { //Error Here
Object source = evt.getSource();
Thanks for any help.

you can use the try-catch clause ...
like this:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    try{
         if(e.getSource() == myButton)
              // your code here...
       catch(Exception err){
               err.printStackTrace(); // will print the error... read the first line error msg
}

MAX virtual device error

Hi,
I've managed to create a corrupted virtual device in Switch Executive. I think I did this trying to save a virtual device to a network drive using Max 4.0 (I now realise after reading this forum that this bug/feature is fixed in Max 4.1). Reading through the forum it appears several others have done the same thing.
However, the question still unanswered is..... how do we delete a corrupted virtual device in Switch Executive??? Trying to delete the virtual device using the normal menus simply raises an exception in Labview.
Do we simply create a blank mxs file (found in ProgramFiles/National Instruments/Max/Data/) or is there an application that can regenerate this file? Note that I've saved my desired configuration to a local drive successfully, so can afford to completely erase all the current virtual devices.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
As you already know, this issue appeared with MAX 4.0 and it is fixed with MAX 4.1. The previous workaround was to export your configuration locally and copy it manually to the network location.
It is possible that the crash might have permanently corrupted your mxs file system stored in the data folder. To restore a clean data folder follow the steps below: FOLLOWING THESE STEPS WILL DELETE EVERY CONFIGURED ITEM IN MAX (NISE CONFIGURATIONS, DAQMX TASKS, VIRTUAL CHANNELS). Excel needs to be installed to use this procedure.
1. Export the configuration to Excel using the NISE Excel example GenerateExcelReport.xls (Program Files\National Instruments\Switch Executive\Examples\Excel)
2. In the command prompt type (with MAX closed) : net stop mxssvr
3. Delete the MAX Data directory (Program Files\National Instruments\MAX\Data)
4. Reboot your computer
5. Import your xls file created in the first step using the example: ImportFromExcel.xls
Note: You may get an "Invalid resource name" error when you attempt to import your xls file. This will occur if Hardware Assets do not match DAQmx device names. Deleting the MAX Data directory forces your system to redetect all your DAQmx devices. All the devices will be reverted to default names, usually PXI_Slot_ or Dev_. If the Hardware Asset for any device differs from it's DAQmx name, simply right-click on the device under NI-DAQmx Devices to Rename it so they are the same.
The following two steps will allow you to export the configuration to a network drive.
6. Export the configuration to your local drive by right clicking on the configuration
7. Copy the exported NISE configuration from your local drive to your network drive
Let me know if you have further questions or if this does not resolve your issue!

MAX error, niGPIBsys.dll plug-in caused an exception

Trying to connect to hardware via the local network to send ASCII strings. I can ping the static IP address successfully, but can't get anything from it in LabVIEW.
VISA resource at the moment is TCPIP0::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::INSTR, which I think is right.
MAX returns this error on startup:
The niGPIBsys.dll plug-in caused an exception in the CmxSysExpertManager::FinalizeExpert function in the NIMax process.
See these files for details:
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Logs\20130709_091257-NIMax-00001848.log
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Logs\20130709_091257-NIMax-00001848.dmp
Then won't make new devices.
VISA and 488 have both been reinstalled, and the nearest error I could find was number 6 here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6CA56E2DDBCCA06086257591006141EE?OpenDocument
... but PAE is definitely not enabled.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
(LabVIEW version 11.0 32-bit, windows 7, hardware is a Votsch Industrial Oven with static IP address)

Sorry, I'm confused myself.
LabVIEW communication with one instrument works when I manually entered TCPIP0::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::INSTR, so over the local network. It also worked when I connected it to my computer with a USB cable because the USB::<something> option came up in the drop down list of the VISA resource name panel straight away.
With the other instrument, it has both USB and ethernet sockets, I couldn't get a response using the same TCPIP format as above, even though I know the IP address (and I tried all combinations of w/ wout/ INSTR) and I could ping it. Haven't been able to plug it into anything with USB directly as I can't get a computer near it at the moment. Tried LabVIEW's VISA serial read write example programme... does that not make sense then? I got error -1073807343.
So I tried to use MAX according to tutorials and encountered the above problems. I suspect the MAX problem is seperate to my VISA connection problems. Can MAX not be used to find and configure connections both USB (is this the same as GPIB?) and TCPIP?

Exception Error With Device Reset (0XAC)

Hi,
I'm using 2 PXI-4472 cards (MXI-4, Ni-Daq 7.0.0f8, Labview 7.0).
Before configuring those cards, I reset them by running the Device Reset.vi (Ni Daq).
It works well, but sometimes, an exception error occured and I don't know why.
The problem is always when calling the Device Reset.vi (dialog box exception 0XAC).
Please find attached the capture of the dialog box.
Anyone know this problem or ideas ????????
Thanks

Hello Educhene,
To answer your request, I need to have more information :
1 - OS?
2 - Do you have the same behavior using MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer)?
3 - You use the function "Device Reset.vi" in complete LV application or just alone?
4 - Have you tried to install the last version of NI-DAQ 7.3?
You can download it for free on the link below :
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/BEC182021CEB566C86256EEE00696562?opendocument&node=132060_US
If yes, have you the same behavior using DAQmx?
Waiting for your answer.

Error in crawl log "Error while crawling LOB contents. ( Error caused by exception: Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.BdcException The shim execution failed unexpectedly - The method or operation is not implemented..; SearchID "

Hi
I get the following error in my crawl logs
"Error while crawling LOB contents. ( Error caused by exception: Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.BdcException The shim execution failed unexpectedly - The method or operation is not implemented..; SearchID "
Because of this i suspect, the search results are not including those aspx pages marked as "Hide physical urls from search".
This error is not available in the another environment where the aspx pages are coming in the results.
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,
Greetings!
Reset the index and re-crawl. That usually clears it
If you are using NTLM authentication, then make sure that you specified the PassThrough authentication for crawling
Probably you need to debug the BDC code that underlies the external content types.

External lib call exits on error, which causes Labviews Solaris to exit completely.

I have an external lib which VI's make calls to.
When my function follows the error path, it makes a
call to another lib which does an exit(11).
This in turn causes Labviews 6.0.2 (Solaris 8).
I have the same libs on NT, and Labviews gives a popup
dialog with an error string.
Anyone know how to prevent Labviews from exiting???
I cannot change the 3rd library.
Thanks!

You might try to install a signal handler. I don't remember the syntax,
but you have to have a C style function pointer, and you call something
like InstallSignalHandler.
You might want to install it, call the faulty function, then set it back
to its initial setting.

NI Switch Executive error when attempting to add NI PXI-2566 switch to new virtual device.

I just loaded Switch Executive and am wanted to explore its capabilities. I have a PXI system that I am setting up. Currently I have PXI-2566 cards in slots 8 and 9.
I was following the NI Switch Executive help documentation "Creating a Virtual Device" and attempted to create a virtual device with the 2566 modules and I got this error;
Error xBFFA000A occurred.
Failure loading driver module.
The driver for the DAQmx switch is not loaded.[DeviceXI1Slot9_ivi]

I had not loaded the "NI-DAQ 7" software that came with the 2566 switch card. I assumed that since MAX showed that I had version 7.2 of DAQmx that I was already up to date.
I received a new PXI-2532 switch, and when I got a "driver not found" error in Switch Executive when I tried to add the 2532 to a new virtual device, I had second thoughts on running the setup/install from the new discs.
After running the software install, I was able to add the 2566 switches to a virtual device in Switch Executive. However, the 2532 failed.
Error xBFFA4B4A occurred.

Error 404 causes Labview 2010 to crash but only occasionally

Hello,
I am requesting help to solve a problem with LabVIEW 2010 crashing. I am new to this company and the last Labview developer left without providing
background on this problem. Labview crashes after running project VIs. Labview closes without warning or error messages. The project acquires data from pressure transducers, dP transducers, thermocouples, IEPE, load cells, and voltages through NI real-time system and has digital I/O. NI hardware includes PXI-1050 with modules 6221, 6280, 6224, 6220 and NI PXI-1052, SCXI-1306, SCXI-1112, SCXI-1520, and SCXI-1102. I've reviewed the labview program and the software relies heavily on shared variables, references, and local variables but I cannot find anything that stands out as a problem in the software .
The program crashed again today after running for only 1/2 hour and was not recording data. No error message occurred before the crash and the only error after restarting LabVIEW was the standard message that LabVIEW did not close properly. I went to the Event Viewer and at the time of the crash I received the following information:
Event ID = 3299
Source = LabVIEW
Log = Application
Level = Error
LabVIEW Information: Error 404 "Not found" for "/national instruments/ real-time execution trace toolkit/ 2.0/ trace receiveport", file "Crogram files (x86)/ national instruments /shared/ ni webserver/ www/ national instruments/ real-time execution trace toolkit/ 2.0/ trace receiveport": Can't access URL
According to Event Viewer, this error 3299 occurred 15 times in the last 3 days. LabVIEW crashed today at 10:19 am at the same time this error 3299 occurred but LabVIEW did not crash the other times this error occurred in the last 3 days. I believe this error is related to the crash but does not usually cause the crash. It appears to me from reading the error message that the error is the result of occasional lose of communication with the real-time system (Can't find URL). Any suggestions how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
Bill

1. Have you had this code working before on this or another machine?
2. Which operating system and version of LabVIEW are you running? (This can be found in Control Panel >> All Control Panel Items >> System)
3. Which National Instruments Drivers are you using? (This can be found in the measurement an automation explorer under the software tab [a screenshot would be good])
I would look into removing afsetup.exe which is a data collection tool provided by Microsoft which could a) not be installed correctly and/or b) trying to pull data from LabVIEW. I think this may help you out, as even though your programs aren't explicitly calling it, the service is running in the background.
Secondly, I would look into stopping the NI Web Server application that could be polling a web page that's not needed.

Dear Patrick,
As our experts told you can trace by using ST01 and select your ID and start the trace then again test be editing and reactivating the scenario and test it again then you ill came to know if in case any issues.
1. Other way to test the scenario is Goto RWB--> Component Monitoring --> Select Adapter Monitoring --> Then select the TEST MESSAGE TAB and give Interface details inputs or copy or take your pay load from MONI and past here and check and changes are to be made and then test the message there itself .
2. Also as u can test the message in Message Mapping TEST TAB and test the mapping and also parallely do Cache Refresh in SXI_CACHE.
3. You can also check the status of the message in SYSEM STACK of message monitoring this is different from RWB message moni
[http://Host name:PORT/MessagingSystem/monitor/systemStatus.jsp]
4. YOu can also trace the message through this system stack also.

Windows 7 Speech Recognition causes Flash Player exception error in Firefox

I have a strange problem.
My system is Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1.
Today I started working with Windows Speech Recognition. I found that if I have Speech Recognition running before I launch Firefox 30.0, I get a Flash Player Plug-in Exception error when I load certain websites.
The version of Flash Player (Shockwave Flash) is 14.0.0.14.
I also have SilverLight Plug-In 5.1.20913.0 installed and active.
The problem does not occur when I use IE 10.0.9200.16798 to load the same website.
One of the websites on which the error occurs is: www.bikeforums.net. The error appears as soon as the home page is finished loading.
The exact error reads as follows:
FlashPlayerPlugin_14_0_0_145.exe - Application Error
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000710) occurred in the application in location 0x774aa289.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Since IE works properly, it should not be Windows problem. Please try to check Firefox forum for an answer.

There must be a real solution to "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"

"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
I've spent hours researching this error - Seems like many people have the same issue although there is no difinitive fix or known cause.
I'm hoping someone here has an answer.
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM (HP)
This is not an upgraded Vista system.
It's not a specific driver related issue as it's the same response/effect be it graphics/chip set/usb/printer drivers.
Please dont suggest to flatten and re-install or run a repair install - It's not an option, I only have remote access to the unit
as it's currently in field use.
This is a machine specific issue - identical machine purchased at the same time and configured the same has no issue.
So the story.
User has been fine for weeks - no hardware of software changes except Windows Updates.
A Camera/USB connection that was working no longer does.
Tried in all USB ports
Plug in - windows announces found new hardware, tries to install drivers then fails
with "Windows found software for your device but encountered an error installing ...."
Device manager finds and identifies device although it is in the 'Unknown Device" category.
Manually updating drivers via search/internet or point directly at a driver has exactly the same effect.
Thinking this was just the camera drivers - I researched and downloaded new drivers from camera manufacturers sites
Fuji and Canon.
Same effect.
Deleted/uninstalled drivers completely, deleted/uninstalled all USB root hub and USB devices (hidden and visible)
SFC /Scannow finds no error
Cold boot finds USB and chipset(?) devices on boot attempts to reinstall then we get
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
So now I have no usb devices at all - memory stick/card reader/printer...... nada.
in fact if I try to update any device driver I get the same message generated.
Restore point does not help either.
After much trawling I found reference to a permisions issue and stale driver cache data.
(This is using an administrator account - not user with admin permissions?)
I'm willing to try anything at this time
I deleted the infcache.1 and other .dat files under c:\windows\system32\driverstore
Copied the usb .inf and .pnf from the appropriate FileRepository directory into c:\windows\inf
Uninstalled all the usb/unkown devices from device manager again.
Rebooted
Takes a little longer to boot as I take it it's rebuilding the driver cache then
a very short hurrah!!!
I can now use usb memory card and pen drives - no issue
Plug in a camera or printer...
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
Several attempt at this trying different driver versions.
It should not be vendor specific, the other field machine that works is using Microsoft drivers for these devices.
I even copied the drivers from one machine to the other - repeated everything above...
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
And then the nail in my sanity
Try windows update....
Reboot
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
but this time its different.
The device it thinks it cannot install is the generic MTP-PTP drivers (Photo Transfer Protocol -so am I getting somewhere)
so it still finds but cannot install.
The cameras are always found but appear as 'unknown devices' and cannot be accessed
Uninstall all USB/unkown again - reboot..
Same message and this time I've lost all the USB again.
Restore point to before Win Update gets me USB back again although I still have no cameras - so theres an update issue as well.
This has to be tied down to a file access/ registry problem although I'm loath to go cutting about without some guidance.
I'm no great believer in 'registry cleaners' unless anyone can point to a definitive/no ad's/sales version that really works.
As I said above, flattening/rebuild at this time is not an option - the user is not best pleased and I'm completley stumped.
If anyone has experienced(manu of you have) and fixed(still to find one) this issue please let me know how as soon as possible.

I know I am replying to an old thread - but I have the answer and resolved this error, and since this message comes up first in search results, and part of my answer came from this thread, I wanted to help someone else as this took an extra
12 hours and a lot of technical insight to resolve. See below for detailed explanation that others ask for above.
My original issue was that iTunes didnt reinstall. generating this error that said I am trying to access an unavailable network resource and to browse to find itunes64setup (again). This may partly have been due to me deleting old install version folders.
Research led me to completely uninstall apple products and reinstall per their instruction and fixed the issue with iTunes. see
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
The SAME error I had while updating itunes recurred while uninstalling it from my Windows 7 SP1 system...so I went to microsoft Fixit and attempted to correct and it properly uninstalled iTunes for me, which allowed the reinstall.
What didnt work was my USB web root/ root hub, which partly involved my older system and USB 1.0, and the delete/reinstall existing drivers with the c:\windows\winsxs folder as source of drivers (thank you Magon Liu!!!) which I had to figure out what/why
and how.
Then I had an intel chipset issue...my new Iphone wasn't recognizing in plug and play, and there was an error with installing the device drivers for my new iphone 6. Manual applications didn't work, even though a generic device showed in control panel -
device manager with a yellow !
Per above blog answer - I tried to remove and reinstall my USB controller or update the drivers (I have an Alienware M15 laptop - a few years old.) I discovered that the USB host controller - an Intel(R) 5 Series / 3400 Series Chipset family USB Enhanced
Host controller - (port) was not covered by current Intel chipset programs which are Series 6 and later, but did have an update (8/20/2009 v9.1.1.1020) that supported USB 2.0 (and therefore 3.0 backwards compatibility which as an issue with my new iPhone
and some USB thumb drives.) To find this I had to look at the Support - Downloads and Drivers - browse for drivers and somewhere found an option to look for older no longer supported drivers. I found infinst_autol.exe for my case.
Once downloaded I tried to install and failed. Found the log in C:\Intel\Logs and contains:
[InstallDev]
          [Device]
            Driver = C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7\ibexusb.inf

            Installed INF =

            Using RegDeleteKeyEx
!!!         ERROR 0xE0000246: DriverPackageInstall generated an unexpected error
HERE'S THE ADDED EXPLANATION TO BRIAN'S POST THAT EXPLAINS THE SECURITY ISSUE:
This turned out to be an error for two reasons. First, after manually running the command in an "run as administrator" window (same error result), thinking it related to my anti-virus (turned that off/disabled firewall and A/V), and from this thread
granting my user administrative rights to files in an install folder and trying to reinstall inf files and drivers from C:\Windows\winsxs vs my copied infinst_autol.exe expansion (as found from log in C:\Users\David Samuels\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7 folder).....that
there was an easier solution as the reason this error actually happens is a permissions problem.
To access the proper windows system folders - you have to be the TrustedInstaller service - not just in the administrator group...or you have to be the actual "Administrator" account. To become actual administrator on
your own laptop, Open a command window "run CMD.exe as administrator", then execute command
> net user administrator /active:yes
This creates a local PC Administrator account with no password. Coincidentally it has proper permissions to windows directories for installing drivers. Log in as this user, go to device manager and update the USB hub and any other drivers. if updating the
USB root - it doesn't replace it right away as the system cant disable the currently resident in memory "running" driver - you have to update, then restart the system, log in as administrator and repeat at the next lower layer that has issues.
Once completed - log in as yourself again and disable the administrator account in a command window with > net user administrator /active:no
This in my case enabled all my USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices on my originally only USB 1.0 laptop and everything else works properly again - I hope this helps many of you to resolve your own issues that were difficult to find and resolve and that got as far as
this thread. Good luck!

Dave Samuels
