Serial number front panel pop-up
I have a vi that will scan a serial number. It will be called from teststand. The problem I am having that the front panel stays visable when it is executed. This will be very distracting for the test technician. I have attached the vi and a screen snapshot to show what I am describing. Thanks for the help.

What exact experiments did you try. Did you experiment with the TestStand - Start Modal dial and TestStand - End Modal Dialogs that are on your TestStand palette?

Have a program in which a sub vi front panel pops up when the main vi is loaded
I have a strange problem.
This problem only occures after building an application using LV 8.6 Professional version Application Builder, and I have installed it onto the target computer. It doesn't happen when running the development system.
When I load the program on the target computer, one of the subvi's front panels used in the application appears on top of the main vi's front panel.
This subvi should never appear on the front panel at any time during the program exicution.
It happens to be the Write to Spreadsheet.vi that is part of the standard vi library.
I have checked all calls to this subvi to verify that it has not be modified to make it load or appear when the main vi is loaded.
It is called at 4 different times during the program exicution but in no instance is it set to show the front panel.
Has anyone seen this and if so what was the fix?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Does the exe file run on your development computer without the popup?
Can you post a VI that demonstrates this behavior?
You've probably already checked, but there are two places that need setting, the SubVI Node Setup, and the File Proeprties Execution tab. See attached jpegs.

How can I get my serial number to work with my product?
So you are installing Design and Web Premium CS6?
I started with a student Cs5
That's the qualifying version serial number which the dialogue box is asking for.
Is it a CS5 Creative Suite (doesn't matter if it's a Student version)? -
I have a executable labview 6.1 program with a front panel. The front panel pops up every time I run it. Can I force the program to run without popping up its front panel.
Thanks in AdvanceIf you're using MS Window, you can use lvwutil32.zip to hide the front panel. lvwutil32.zip can be downloaded from NI site.
Or you can move your front offscreen, so that user can't see it. And save your vi. When you run your vi again, it'll popup at the offscreen position. NI uses this trick to hide windows from LabVIEW users. You can also set front panel size to 0.

LV2011 problem with several front panels
Hello,
There is a bug in my software and I don't know it is common to every one or not. This not to be worry, I will notify you anyway. When I open only one front panel and one block diagram which having a program to communicate with a serial device. In this case, if I choose the VISA resource name, it obviously takes some time to popup the USB and after it show the port and front panel will stay in front you until you choose the device. Here, every thing is fine but when I open several front panels and working on only with serial program front panel to choose the serial device in VISA resource name. Then after some time, it took me to another front panel. I have seen this problem several times in past two months. More, even when I am decorating the front panel and front panel took some time after pushing some controls and switched another front panel.
Is this bug? Or I common for every one.
Using labVIEW 2011.I am certainly using labVIEW from two months. So, I did not use MAX in my past time. I only used one time to check my USB 6008 device but this is off topic here. I will tell you down here.
Suppose, If I open multiple VI's and I am only working with one VI that can communicate with my SERIAL device and the rest of the VI's(Block diagram and front panel) are rested. This case, if I click the drop downlist of "VISA resource name" of SERIAL VI, then it took some time(200ms or 100 ms, just it is a guess) to populate and it is switched to another front panel which were opened and rested before. Again, I need to come to my serial front panel again to select the COM port. This is one case.
If don't have any other VI's not opened than this serial Vi. Then it stays on the same front panel.
Is this bug came with labVIEW or is it common? -
I am trying to install my newly download photoshop elements 12. I have the serial no but the pop up
I am trying to install my newly downloaded photoshop elements 12. I have the serial number but the pop up screen is not allowing either the 1st 6 numbers or last 6 numbers to be entere to start the installation. I have registered the product OK. What is the problem?
Does it begin with 1057? If not, it's a redemption code. In which case, see here:
Redemption Code Help
If it is a serial number, go to system preferences>security & privacy>firewall>firewall options and be sure that PSE is allowed to call out. -
Plotting to a number of asynchronously called subVI front panels
Hello everyone,
I'm working on a DAQ and monitoring program and I have a dream of doing some very flexible window management for my plot windows. Trying to make it easy to quickly open different kinds of plots and display different channels in each window. So as not to reinvent the wheel I'm trying to use Windows windows to do this by calling VIs asynchronously. The VI will be built as an EXE and used by people who don't know LabVIEW, hence trying to make it really flexible and intuitive.
I've set up my VI like this example and it has me real close: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvhowto/acbr_call_clones/
When I run the VI it opens whatever number of plotting windows (instances of my plotting window SubVI) I've specificed but the plots don't update. Anyone have any tips as to how to get this behavior?

Go to Solution.Bob,
Thanks for the reply. I'm using a QSM-PC architecture, here's the relevant loop. Looks pretty much identical to the linked example, I hit that point and I decided I needed a bit of help wrapping my head around it. Data's coming in on a queue (the snippet broke the reference). My idea was to pop open all the windows in this state then use another state to plot data to them.
In 'synchronous' mode I was able to get the desired behavior out of my subVI but it was also set right in a while loop and by playing with the Call Setup a bit I got it to do what I needed (open a new front panel and constantly plot).
The queue idea is very promising though! I should be able to generate queues right in the For Loop that calls my VIs synchronously then enqueue in a "RUN" state. I'll give that a try.

Static VI with Visa serial functions is very slow to display front panel
THere is a delay time of about 10-20 seconds to "display" the first VI's front panel that has Visa serial functions in the source code.
All works fine after the first load but the initial delay of the front panel load makes it look like the PC could hang during this time. AFter this other VI's load immediately with no delay. I am concerned because I do not want to have to load a VI manually every time I start the APP which is the only workaround I can do at this time.
Im wondering if anyone else has seen this kind of behaviour.
I do not remember this happening until I upgraded my APP to LV7.
DEll optiplex GX260 with 500MB RAM, Win2k and using N.I PCI-232-16 card w/ LV7 now.

RECV_LOOP.vi 55 KBI would like to resurrect this thread, as I am having the same problem. The problem stems from the VISA resource control on my front panel, because I have many COM ports registered on my system. The last suggestion from Scott B. was to "post the resulting .SPY file and I'll take a look at it". So, here is my .SPY file, and as you can see, it takes far too long. As many of these COM ports were registerd from USB converters, most of them are not actually present at this time on the system. However, even the ports that ARE present take a long time to register (i.e. COM1 is present and shows 3 seconds to register). These COM ports shown in my VISA resource do not correspond to those shown in my Device Manager, nor do they correspond to those shown in MAX under Devices and Interfaces.
I am using LV 7.0 on WinXP SP2, with VISA version 3.2.
OK, I just discovered something that mostly cured the delay. When I was getting the VISA version number just now, from MAX in the Software>NI-VISA item, there is a tab "VISA Options", and another tree structure in the middle pane. Selecting "General Settings>Aliases", there was a list of the old COM ports, so I cleared this list and then re-started MAX, checked again, and now only the COM ports shown in "Devices and Interfaces" matched this list (which still doesn't match my Device Manager, but no matter). When I re-opened the LabVIEW FP, it opened quickly, and the ports listed in the VISA resource matched those I saw in MAX.
At any rate, although I just cured the symptom, the original problem of old aliases in VISA causing unacceptable delay should be fixed by NI.

Front panel of a vi pops up when i start my top level vi how can i stop this
i have a vi that whos front panel should display when the user clicks a front panel button(test instructions),
however this vi pops up when i run the top level vi. I can manually close the vi, but how do i stop this?
i tried modifying the Sub VI Set up properties, but that doesnt work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi jknapp,
As egraham has pointed out, you can customize the window appearance of your sub VI from the VI Properties. If you go to File » VI Properties, then under Category select Window Appearance and then Customize..., you should be able to control how the sub VI appears. Hope this helps!

Download Error - Contact customer support. Indesign wont load application have gone from the control panel. CS photoshop loads and wants a serial number - and my serial number dosent work?
Hello Bradley,
sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
But as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations

Make sure you have cookies enabled and clear your cache. If it continues to fail try using a different browser.
You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

Why doesn't pop-up window for serial number open?
My mother has bought the Lightroom 5 CD and is installing it but for some reason when she clicks ther installed Lr icon as told in your instruction, the serial number is not requested. The whole window with the empty boxes for serial number does not appear. I'm not sure what she has done earlier but she is saying she hasn't been able to give any serial number to her Mac (she has had earlier version in other MAc but is facing major problems with this new Mac and Lightroom, she has had trial version in this Mac). So, could the problem be that she has removed some Adobe Acrobat reader, Java, Adobe ActiveX or something and that's why the pop up window for serial number does not appear or has she managed to activate something which is blocking something or if she has already put serial number somewhere could that be blocking the process? How to change the serial number? Does Lightroom require some other sw like cloud or sth?
Hi Sari,
Kindly try the below mentioned steps.
Launch Lightroom
Click on Help.
Click on Lightroom Registration
Follow the on screen instruction.
Thanks,

Problem about asynchronous call: subVI front panel doesn't pop up when called.
Dear All,
I'm new to LabVIEW, and this is the first time I try to use the asynchronous call.
I'm using LabVIEW 2011.
I want to build a directory for several VIs, and it should allow users to open more than one of the VIs at the same time by pushing the buttons. Before building this directory, I simply tried to use asynchronous call to call a VI form another VI, but found a big problem.
I followed the steps in the help file, created a strictly typed reference, set the option to x80 because I don't need the return. When I run it for the first time, it worked fine: the subVI popped up and run. Then I closed the subVI. But for the sencond time and on, when I run the caller VI, the subVI didn't pop up, instead it seemed to run silently on background because when I manually opened it from the file I found it running. Besides, I didn't find any option like "show front panel when called" of the asynchronous call.
The caller VI and subVI are attached. The address of subVI in caller VI should be changed accordingly.
What should I do to make it work properly? Thanks very much for any idea!

Jeff, you will be happy to know that I used this tactic in full force on a project recently (lots of dialogs in this program). Not sure how many LabVIEW reboots it has saved me from. Reuse VIs made it even easier to do.

I've got the labview vi written to read my IMU data from a serial port in COM1 and it displays onto the table on the front panel. I'm having trouble getting this data onto an excel spreadsheet. Any ideas? Right now my data will collect one reading instead of continuously reading my IMU which displays data in a continuous stream.
Thanks

I previously had PS CS5 Trial installed but removed it using both Control Panel Programs and deleting all files from the CS5 directory on Program Files. I then installed a purchased product from Adobe disc using the serial number on the case. But when I try to launch it, I get a screen headed Photoshop CS5 Extended Trial. It asks for the serial number and says that my trial has expired. It rejects the serial number from the Adobe case saying "This Serial Number is not valid for this product". It thinks that I still have the expired Trial Version installed. How do I convince it (the program) that the Trial Version is long gone and the currently installed product was installed with a valid and accepted serial number????
Let me know how it goes. Go into your Adobe account and register your serial number asap.

That way, should you lose it or you need support, it is on record that it's yours and you can fetch your s/n it from anywhere.
