Odd Shared Variable Dialog Box message

I came across some odd behavior in the dialog box while I was created a new shared variable.
As I was typing in the name, I kept see a warning pop up in the dialog.  It would come and go as typed.  I figured out that whenever I typed a space, and thus it was temporarily the last letter in the SV name, the warning popped up.  Type the next letter, the warning would go away.  You can see the space ending the name right before the cursor in the top picture, and the name ending with a normal character in the bottom picture.
Now it is logical to me that ending a shared variable name with a space would be a bad practice, and should be warned against.  But the warning never actually states that you can't end with a space.  To be more precise, it says you can't have the slash code \s in the variable name.  Now I am not actually entering slash codes, but I am entering spaces.  And they seem to work just fine in the variable name, just not if it is the last character.
It just seems to be a mismatch between what the warning says, and what you can and can't do.
Can you have spaces in the SV name?  By my experience you can.
Also, this in in LV 8.6 on an XP SP3 machine.

Ben, which VI did you use to create your bogus folder? Was this a specific DSC VI or just the generic Create Folder VI? 
The CAR for that bug was "105656".
The desription for that CAR was "Create DB while specifying path with space on end creates illegal Windows directory".
It supposed to create then put then put hte data files in the specified folder. It does the create but has trouble putting the data in the folder.

  • In the shared variable properties box, when enabling aliasing, what is the difference between binding to a project variable vs. to a psp url

    In the shared variable properties box, specifically with regard to a the target being an rt target, when enabling aliasing, what is the difference between binding to a project variable vs. to a psp url?

    The difference is in the type of variable you are binding it to.  A project variable is a variable that lives within the specific project in which it was created.  A PSP URL is an address using the Publish-Subscribe Protocol (PSP).  You can learn more about PSP URLs here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvconcepts/using_datasocket_technology/#Specifyin...
    PSP URLs will enable it to communicate between different machines and also between projects which may or may not be open.  The project variable will exist within the project.

  • Shared variable dialog window

    I want to ignore the dialog window or prevent it from coming up when there is an error in my shared variable.  I am reading data from a PLC on a manufacturing machine.  I am doing this on a separate server system and it isn’t monitored, so the fault does nothing but lock the Vi and prevent it from collecting data until someone happens to look at it.
    I have a loop that is waiting for the variable to change and the most common error is when the PLC is turned off and there is no data available, however there are others that come up now and again.
    I want to simply return to the loop and keep cycling until the data is there and readable again.
    Is there a way to prevent the Shared Variable from halting on error?  Can I turn off the dialog box so that it doesn’t stop the Vi?

    It is coming from LabVIEW's autmatic error handler.  There is also a VI option that can be changed globally for the VI to ignore the error.  But I don't recommend changing that unless you have accounted for all other errors you could possibly get elsewhere in the VI.  Any node that has an error output not wired to something else will have this dialog box pop up if the VI option is set to automatically handle the errors.
    Another alternative is to wire the shared variable error to a tunnel on the loop, but don't do anything with it afterwards.

    Ashwini,
    I don't understand what your exact problem is, but i can give you some feedback on the VI:
    1) It is good to include timing into loops. But your comment implies, that you do not use timing in loops which are not connected to UI-controls. This is bad. You should always include timing into loops except if you want something (which has to be finit in execution!) to execute as fast as possible.
    2) Your timing is 1s. This is far too long for proper interaction. Tests showed, that delays about some 100ms lead to misusage of the application. So please lower the time to something around 100-250 ms.
    3) The VI checks "MR" against 4 and then decides if it should continue in the loop or to show the dialog. This is not good since the comparison is only done once in the beginning.
    4) Never use the "run continuous" button!
    hope this helps,

  • Deploying shared variable

    Is it possible to disable or hide the deploying shared variables dialog box at program start?

    Hello Peter
    No, it is not possible to completely disable or hide this dialog box when deploying a VI to a real time target or building an executable since this dialog box is used to report errors during the download process. The only thing you are able to do is check the Close on successful completion checkbox to close this dialog box after a successful download.

  • Enable shared variable buffer

    Dear all,
    I'm writing on a program to create shared variables programmatically. I use the examples available in labview and DSC 8.0 as reference. I'm able to create and set the different properties such as scaling, alarms, inital value etc for the shared variable(s). However, when i wire a boolean "true" to " enable buffering", it doesnt seems to work. I checked the shared variable created in the shared variable engine, the variable is created but the buffering cant be enabled programmatically. Can anyone guide me what's the fault? thanks.

    Hi,
    The VI worked without any problem though I had to change the shared variable name. One thing to note about changing the properties of shared variables programmatically using the shared variable I/O is that it only affects the deployed shared variables and not the actual library file. In essence, these changes are not saved in the library. So the shared variable properties window will not reflect the current status of the "Network.UseBuffering" option. To verify that the "use buffering" is enabled, place another "Network.UseBuffering" property node on the block diagram and read the current state from it.
    Attached is a modified version of the VI with the current status of the "Network.UseBuffering" property for the deployed shared variable.

  • "Shared Variable Control" combo box on Front Panel is empty after Build

    Hello;
    I have a project using shared variables and the DSC module. I am working on building a .exe application now that the project seems to run well.
    I have several places on the front panel where I have shared variable controls. These combo boxes allow the user to click the drop down button and browse the list of shared variables in the project, as well as "browse". When I run the VI from the project, the combo boxes fully populate with all of the deployed tags in the project (I have only one .lvlib in the project).
    When I build the project and run the executable, the only item in the combo box list is the "browse..." selection. I can click on that and browse to my variables, but it is much more time consuming to do so than to simply select the desired variable from the drop down list.
    So, how can I populate the list of shared variables from a particular library ino the Shared Variable Control combo box in a project build?
    A couple of things I have done to try to esolve th problem are ensure that the "Enable Enhanced DSC Run-Time Support" box is checked in the advanced tab of the build window, added the appropriate .lvlib file to the "Dynamic VI's and SUpport Files" window under the "Source Files" tab of the build window, and properly deployed the tag library programmatically in the project.

    Hi Michael,
    What you see in the development environment is to make it easier for developers, and as far as I know, there's no way to automatically populate the shared variable control during run time in an executable.  The reason being that the shared variable control would have no way to know which process it should be using to get the variables from.  The attached vi demostrate how you can acquire the list of shared variables in a process.  You can also set the default values of the shared variable control by right clicking it on the front pannel, go to Data Operations->Make Current Value Default.  I can do some more research on this, but I'm about 95% sure that there's no way to convert the array of shared variables to populate the shared variable control, as the shared variable control is a special type of xControl.

  • Can't open/access Shared Variable Properties Dalog Box

    I've just upgraded to LV 8.6 from 8.5.  Now I can't open up the Shared Variable Properties Dialog Box.  In the Project Explorer, I expand the shared variable library, select the shared variable, right-click on it to get the pop-up menu, select Properties, nothing happens.  The same is true when I right-click on the shared variable library or My Computer and select New>>Variable.
    On another computer that I upgraded to LV 8.6, I can do the same things and get the dialog box, albeit it looks different in 8.6 than it did in 8.5. 
    There were no errors reported in upgrading these computers.  Any ideas as to what is wrong?

    I've tried re-installing LV 8.6 from the DVDs sent to me.  I get the following errors:
    Error 1335. the cabinet file 'mib.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error , an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package. -  I responded with 'ignore'
    The NI Assistant Framework LabVIEW Code Generator 8.5 installaion has failed with the following error.
    Internal Error 2350.
    Continue? - I responded with 'yes'
    LabView installs but I still can't get access to the dialog box.

  • Strange message showed up in a dialog box. should i be worried?

    hi. i stepped away from my mac pro (OSX 10.5.8) and when i came back about 20 minutes later saw this message in a dialog box:
    This computer's local hostname "mynames'mac-pro.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "mynames-mac-pro-2.local". (my real name was where i have typed 'my name')
    To change the local hostname, open System Preferences and click Sharing, then click Edit and type the name in the Local Hostname field.
    i am the only user of my computer so i am wondering if some virus/malware has tried to install something on my computer possibly. Does anyone know why this would show up or what it is about? i don't share files and am the only user of my computer. should i need to change the hostname back to what it was originally?
    thanks in advance for your help!

    oops. after i posted the 'more like this' sidebar showed the answer to this so i'll try to fix this now. thanks.

  • No display of error message log in dialog box

    Dear MM Experts,
    During enter incoming invoice (MIRO), when we click simulate after entering all necessary data, all error & warning messages are displayed in a dialog box if there is red traffic light. In our case despite red traffic light error messages are not displayed as shown in below screen shot. Only warning messages are displayed & document canu2019t be posted. Please let me know if anyone has encountered such behavior & knows the solution. We just want to see the error messages in dialog boxes so that necessary data can be entered and document can be posted.
    Additional information: 1. No GR needs to be done, 2. GR based IV is unchecked in PO, 3. No validation is active for the company code,
    Thanks & regards,
    Avinash

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    Our problem is not to post a particular invoice doument, the main problem is that error log is not displayed in MIRO. For example if balance is not zero then this error should be displayed in error log dialog box, which is not happening due to which we are not able to post any invoice document as error is not known to the user. Please let me know if any suggestions.
    Additional information: We have deactivated all validations & BADis. We also tried to compare with other systems where error log is displayed properly however our ABAP consultant could not find any difference. Any Input on how to compare is also welcome.
    Thanks & best regards,
    Avinash

  • Validation and  Error Message Dialog Box

    hi,

    Radhika,
    You need to attach PPR event to the Date To column. In the event code in controller, you can validate do the validation and accordingly throw error on the page.
    Why do you need a pop up(javascript alert) for that?

    Hi,
    You have to check 1st this user-exit is triggering or not while saving the P.O.
    If it triggers then you can put the code what you want.  The message type should be Error type why becuase then only it won't allow further until it correct.
