Property Node in VI throws Error 7 in LV 7.1 but runs OK in LV80 and LV86

Hi everybody
I build a custom IVI instrument driver and using the LV tool <Generate VI Interface from Instrumnet CVI Driver> I was able to get a LV wrapper for each driver method. From LV86 I saved first in LV80 and from LV80 I saved as LV71. I have all these LV versions on installed on my PC.
I have no trouble in using these LV wrappers in any of these LV versions as they work OK.
Now my IVI driver has also Properties that the Import Driver Tool does not convert as a wrapper and for that reason I had to create a Property Node Warpper myself and saved in the same LLB under LV/instr.lib folder.
Once I have all these method wrappers and the property node wrappers I made a small VI
1. Initialize IVI With Options on a TCPIP instrument
2. Set-Get an IVI Timeout property
3 Close IVI driver on TCPIP instrument.
Good part is that in LV 86 and in LV 80 the VI is running fine when I use these LV version wrappers from their coresponding instr.lib folder.
As soon as I am going to use the LV 71 wrappers in LV 71 I could create the same small VI to Set/Get Timeout and the VI look OK nothing is broken but when I run it the Initialization is OK but as soon as is reaching the Timeout Set Property Node gets out an Error Code 7.
To run this VI the user need to install the jdCMR IVI driver then add the LV71 jdCMR wrappers inside LV71/instr.lib and then he may build any VI using these LV warppers.
The only problem is that the Property Node get out an Error Code 7 and the same error code get out from Property Node if I am picking the Property Node from VISA Advanced Pallette, connect this node to jdCMR driver, set Timeout property inside the node and after connecting the input and output references plus the input and output error to Initialize and Close LV wrappers I still get this error at running time.
The same LV 71 VI if I open in LV80 or in LV 86 runs without any problem?
Does anybody knows why LV 71 is not working the same way as LV80 and LV86 with respect to Property Node?
Btw When I save my VI from LV 80 to LV 71 I get this warning...

Hi
For further testing of the IVI driver Property Node bug with LabVIEW 7.1 IVI drivers I download and installed two different IVI drivers from two very known instrument companies, Rodhe-Schwarz and Agilent Technologies.
I have to mention that both these companies releasead their IVI NI LabVIEW 7.1 drivers under NI Instrument Driver Network and ready to be installed and used by any customer of these two instruments.
The bug is present only in LabVIEW 7.1 version as if I take the same VI that breaks in LabVIEW 7.1 I could run it without any problem in LabVIEW 8.0 or LabVIEW 8.6 versions.
Anybody could test this bug for these two NI released IVI drivers in simulation in LabVIEW 7.1 by following these links below.
Agilent ag81150ni IVI Driver for LabVIEW 7.1 install from here. Run in simulation only by setting Simulate=1
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=55798957B1A633BDE0440003BA7CCD...
Rodhe Schwarz rsngpt IVI Driver for LabVIEW 7.1 install from here. Run in simulation only by setting Simulate=1
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E91D6659CE034080020E748...
After installation complete close LabVIEW 7.1 if was open, then restart LabVIEW 7.1 and now you may see under the LabVIEW Instrument Driver Palette two new IVI drivers ready to be used as LabVIEW 7.1 wrappers.
Open a new blank VI and from Instrument Driver Palette use two well known Vis that are Initialize With Options.vi and Close.vi add them on your blank VI block diagram and connect thm together. Accept all default parameters except Simulate that must be Simulate=1.
Both Vis run OK in simulation mode without errors. Now pick a Property Node from VISA Advanced Panel and squeeze this between the Initialize With Options VI and Close VI and make the instrument reference in-out and error in-out connections.
Now run these two simple Vis in simulation
I run Rodhe Schwarz IVI driver and Property Node passes OK until the end
I run Agilent IVI driver but Property Node is getting out Error Code 7 that is the same as my own driver error.
Both these IVI drivers are under NI Instrument Driver Networks and have been built and integrated as native NI IVI instrument drivers.
Question is why they behave so different with respect to Property Node from the VISA Advanced Panel?
I attached the screen shots as PNG files that show clearly the difference of VISA Property Node behaviour when used under the same circumstances.
Thanks Sorin

Tab Control Property Node gives a build error when used in a VI for LabVIEW PDA

Hello,
    Iam new to LabVIEW development & need help regarding this:
    We are trying to port a LabVIEW application from desktop to a Windows Mobile PDA. Please note that the LabVIEW application works fine on the desktop. In one of the VIs, a Tab control property node is used which gives a build error with LabVIEW PDA project. A sample VI which shows the problem & the error list snapshot is attached with this post. Can anyone please suggest an alternate approach to achieve the same functionality with LabVIEW PDA? Waiting for an early response from anyone...

    I feel that the Tab control property node that has been used in the VI (which is attached earlier) may not be supported on the PDA target. Can u (or any LabVIEW expert) suggest an alternate approach to achieve the same goal with LabVIEW PDA (changing colour of Tab control pages programatically)??
    I had missed out some details earlier: We are using LabVIEW 8.5 PDA module on a Windows Mobile PDA.

How to create a strict property node!

I have been searching a way to create a strict property note for a whole day, and yet still can not get the answer.
I have download a Vi from the Ni website, but my lab computer can not open it, So i open it with my lab-top, and trying to duplicate it in the lab computer.
After i have done it, when i try to run the VI, an error come out say that
"Boolean ''stop": Boolean latch action is incompatible with local variables."
Then i check for the difference with the original one, the only difference is that the property node of the original one is a strict property type, and the one. when i am trying to do the same thing for the duplicated one, i can not find the way.
So, i try to search for the answer, something like this come out
"Conversely, a strictly typed refnum does contain the data type for the object that it points to. You can change between weak and strict refnums by right clicking on the refnum (or its terminal in the block diagram) and selecting "Include Data Type" for strict and deselecting it for a weak typed refnum. "
but when i right click all the icons show in the block diagram, i didn't see any "include data type come out".
attached is the picture of the diagram.
Why is that when i try to create the same property: value as in the picture using the lab computer, and the color of the "value" will appears to be purple when what i expected should be green for the boolean value.
Solved!

The error you are getting is telling you that the boolean control is set to Latch Action. You need to change it to a Switch Action.
To do this, go to the boolean control on your Front Panel, right click it with the mouse and select a one of the top three Switching Action from the Mechanical Action list of six action types.
The reason for this is that a Latching switch is cleared when read by the terminal on a block diagram, but having used Local Variables in your code you are now reading the control from more than one place. Therefore the boolean needs to be set to Switch, whereby it will retain it's setting after being read to ensure that all Local Variables will see the correct value.

Property node for a chart with multiple axes

I have created a chart with two y axes, one for each of two data sets
that I am plotting. From the front panel, I can view the properties of
the chart and adjust the scales of the two axes separately under the
Scales tab. I need to, though, adjust the maximum and minimum of these
axes programmatically. How can I create a property node that refers to
one of the two y axes, and how can I specify which axis the node is
referring to? If create a generic YScale:Minimum property node, I get
an error.
Thanks for the help,
TJR

"...YScale:Minimum property node, I get an error."
That is curious.
You can specify the active scale for which the property will be applied.
The attached demo (in LV 7.1) illustrates how to do this by fist setting the index of the active scale and then updating its property (property nodes execute from top to bottom).
What error do you get?

How can I make a "property node" for a VI?

Hello!
If I add a boolean button on the FP then I am able to make a property node for that button in the Block Diagram. But how can I make a property node for a VI? I have several VI:s an that together is one program. What I need to do is to verify what kind of VI some of my VI:s is. I need to verify if it is .exe or .vi-file, and if it is .exe then I want to disable run, abort, run continuously bottons otherwise not. I have hard that this is possible to do programmaticaly but I can´t figure out how. I am aware that I could do that manually in the File->vi properties->customize->windows appearance but theese choises makes it last forever.
I want to be able to stop and run and everything if it is a .vi file, but if it is .exe-file then all those buttons should be disabled.
Anyone have an example on this?
In an other message at this Forum I read "You can use the `Front Panel Window. Allow Runtime PopUp`" property to disable run-time shortcuts menues programmaticaly, but still I dont know how to create this property node.
/Amir

You really shouldn't open a new thread. If you don't understand something, ask and we will explain it.
Like I said in the other thread, you can check if you are running in LV or an EXE by using the Application>>Kind property. To get it, place a property node (from the Application Control palette) on the diagram, click it and find the property.
To set the properties for the VI, place another property node, right click it and select Select Class>>VI Server>>VI. You should have the properties you want under Front Panel Window.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf). I believe chapter 17 of the user manual explains about programmatic control of VIs.

WebI report throwing error when migrated from XIR2 to XI3.1

I have some webi reports built in BO XIR2 on OLAP universes (SAP BW3.5 based). Recently I have migrated the reports from old XIR2 environment to a new XI3.1 environment.
The specification of new system is as below:
BO XI3.1
SAP BW 3.5
No SP and FP is installed. (Actually when I tried to install the SP2, it failed)
After the migration, some of my reports are running for 5 minutes and then throwing an error like below:
A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData. See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901).
The same report is working fine in old system.
Has anyone faced this problem yet?
Regards

Hi Jacques,
The transports are already imported.
What I can see is if there is a query with only dimension objects and no measure, then that is throwing error in XI3.1. But the same query is running fine in XIR2.
Any Idea?
Thanks and Regards

While clearing through F-54 system throws error No downpayment exist

While clearing through F-54 system throws error : No downpayment exist. But I have checked in the Downpayment account, A/P account and Customer Line item and the entry exists. Customization for Downpayment made also correct. All the fields are correctly entered in F-54. Still the error comes.
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Ravi,
This transaction is not a downpayment request. But one thing I have to mention. For this downpayment the assignment of alternate reconciliation account was done on 17.3.09.
The posting date and document date has been given as 13.03.2009 for the downpayment document. Whereas when I check in the entry view > header details, the posting date is 18.03.2009 (may be it is
showing the actual date of posting). When the clearing is done through F-54 by giving
date 31.03.2009, the system gives the error that no downpayment exist. If we give
the Inv.No. details and click for document display, the system shows the relevant document
to be cleared. Wen we click open process items tab, the error is shown. Kindly confirm
whether the system is not updated with the assignment of alternate reconciliation account
for downpayment when the document date and posting date has been given prior to that
assignment and that is why the system is showing error. Further, is it right to reverse that
downpayment document and post a fresh document by giving date after 17.03.2009 and then
clear the entry.

Programmatically Change a Property Node Link to Object

Is there a way to programmatically change a "link" to an object in a property node? I'm trying to create a user configurable front panel for a project that I'm working on, in which the user can change the caption for numerous controls and indicators. I would like to set-up a for loop that will take information contained in a string array and change each caption accordingly, instead of having 100 different property nodes on the block diagram. If you need anymore details, let me know and maybe I can attach a picture to the response.

There's various ways you can do this as far as exact implementation. You will need to use something to identify which control you're dealing with. Attached is one way that uses the control's label as a lookup. You could, for example, use a default caption instead to make it more apparent to the user which control they're specifying to change.

Visable Property Node Question

I need to make different controls on my front panel appear and disapper with depending on what is being done is there an easy way to make a lot of different things appear and disappear without creating a property node for each individual one. Its slowing me down a bit during execution and its also making my primary VI huge.

Broblem with property node and DAQ-card

Hi!
I am using NI DAQ-card to control mini relays and I have a following broblem. I use a "binary" button to control the DAQ-assistant and so on the relays. I have made property node of the "binary" button and set it to value mode(write). When I change the value of property node, the "binary" button in user interface works properly, but the the relay doesn't change the state.

The boolean array constant that you are writing to the property node is empty. That is it has been defined as a boolean array, but it has no elements.
The array constant on the left is an empty boolean array. Notice that all teh boolean constants are grayed out. This indicates that none of the constants are 'active'. The array on the right contains 8 active elements. Note that the 8 elemants are more solid in color adn the the 9th element is grayed out.
What you need to do is define your boolean array with the proper constants to turn on or off the proper digital lines.

Error 8 on installed executable, must run as admin

I am getting an Error 8, incorrect permissions to access file. This occurs when I run an installed executable under Program Files. If I run my application as an administrator, I don't get this error. Specifically, I am trying to open a file that's in the \data directory under the application folder. Is there a way to change the permissions of a destination folder in the build specifications?

You can use the Application property node to determine which OS you are running. To access this property node follow these steps:
Bring up your diagram and right click to get the vi palette.
1. In your functions palette go to Programming>>Applicaion Control>>Property node. Drag a property node into your block diagram.
2. Select the following properties OperatingSystem>>Name and OperatingSystem>>Version
Windows 7 will show up as Name: "Windows NT" and Version: "6.1".

NI 845x USB: Error -301713 occurred at Property Node (arg 2) in General I2C Read.vi

Hello,
I am currently working with digital accelerometer LIS35DE from ST Microelectronics. I want to start with tests of this device. For that purpose I used NI 845x USB to connect with accelerometer via I2C. Unfortunately, when I made electrical connections and set up parameters of communication and run the program (I found it in examples) the following error occured:
Error -301713 occurred at Property Node (arg 2) in General I2C Read.vi
Possible reason(s):
NI-845x: An input parameter, or combination of parameters, is invalid. An example of this error may be setting an invalid baud rate or enabling I2C ACK polling while using 10-bit addressing.
The code can be found in attachements. I couldn't find any extended description of this problem. What could be a problem: incorrect device address, register address, configuration parameters?
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Michael

Hi MicMac89!
First of all could you please post which version of LabView are you using?
Could you please tell me which version of 845X hw are you using? (8451 or 8452)
I opened the example you attached. As you wrote the error occurs at the second argument of the property node. (I guess this is the first property node where the error occurs.)
This argument of the property node enables the onboard pull-up resistors. But not all NI-845x hardware support pull-up resistors. (Because of this is important to know which hw version are you using.)
Did you try the example with disabling the pull-up resistors?
I suggest you to go through the Manual of this product, (if you did this not yet) This could make it clear where and when to use what kind of pull-up resistors.
For example: If you are using 8452, you must enable pull-up resistors, for Vref ≤ 1.8 V for the FPGA to properly detect a low-to-high transition
