TS4.2: VI too early to convert

Hi,
I'm getting the error -18002 VI too early to convert when I execute a TestStand 4.2 sequence file with the TestStand Base Deployment Engine. I created the Deployment installer with the deployment tool in TS4.2 and installed it on a second system. I added all needed LV runtimes and drivers incl. TestStand Deployment Engine. All installed softwares shown in the MAX are equal to the Developing system. But on the target system I always get the mentioned error. So I searched the NI Forum and found a similar Problem, but no real solution for that. I think, that the TestStand Base Deployment Engine on the target system chooses the wrong LV runtime engine, something higher then 8.2.1 (this is the version of the VI's). When I change the Labview adapter the the developing system to 8.6.1, I get the same error. But with 8.2.1, everything works fine.
How can I change the default LabView Runtime Version for the TestStand Base Deployment Engine?

The TestStand deployment has also settings for Adapters. It is possible, that your UI does not supply you with the option to change those settings. You can always install the predefined UIs delievered with TestStand and run it on the deployment system. You can then change the settings for the LV Adapter as needed.

If this is true, then the LV Adapter settings should already be correct. Therefore, there has to be another reason for this behavior. But please check the settings as described before.

Never heared something like this. I asume that not only TestStand was updated in the process. Is it possible, that you have been working with something older than LV 8.2 when using TS 3.5? If so, please masscompile all VIs using 8.2 before deploying them.

  • TestStand Deployment Issue - VI too early to convert

    I have a test system which has LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5 running VIs and sequences developed on this system. I am trying to replace this with a deployment system and not having much success. I admit I'm pretty green with LV8 and TS3.5, but reasonably computer savvy.
    I purchased the same DAQ boards used in the existing system and installed them in a new PC. The PCs are different types, the existing system is a HP Pavilion and the deployment system is a Dell. I didn't think hat would have much effect.
    I created a deployment install image on the development system. I tried this a few months ago and was able to get a simple test deployment working. Now that I've got the actual DAQ hardware, I attempted to deploy the full test system. It installed OK on the deployment system, but when I run a sequence, I get a message that states:
    LABVIEW: VI version is too early to convert to the current LABVIEW version.
    The notable differences between the two systems include:
    1. Different PC types
    2. Possibly a different DAQmx version - I installed DAQmx from the CDs that came with the new hardware, not from the original CDs.
    3. XP Pro instead of XP Std
    Any suggestions? Like I said, I don't have a lot of experience with this, so any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Blair

    Thanks, Rick. I tried checking Daqmx 8.0 as one of the drivers to load with the build and got an error. The error indicated that the driver couldn't be loaded as Measurement Studio wasn't installed.
    I'll have to see if I can find the original drivers that were used with the old system and remove the drivers from the new system and install the old drivers. I suppose I could try installing the new drivers on the old system and then doing the build, but I hesitate to do that as I am afraid that something will get broken on the old system and shut down production. I've already had one issue during start-up that caused the license to invalidate and had to re-install the license, so I would rather not make any changes at this time.
    Unfortunately, a subcontractor created the original system, and I don't know if I have the original driver disks.
    The driver disks that came with the new DAQ boards show ver 8.6.
    The version number of Measurement and Automation Explorer is the same.

  • Labview load error code 10:VI version (8.2b23) is too old to convert to the current

    trabajo en la version de LabVIEW 8.2, 20th aniversary edition, Professional y cuando intentaba abrir la parte de examples en la primera ventana me aparecia el siguiente error:
    LABVIEW:VI version is too early to convert to the current labview version.
    An error occurred loading VI "find examples.vi".
    Labview load error code 10:VI version (8.2b23) is too old to convert to the current
    labview version (8.2.1f4)
    luego de la primera intaslacion de la version 8.2b23 tambien me salia el mismo error, desintale y reinstale pero igual, asi que probe instalar un parche que actuliza a la version 8.2.1f4, pero como ven sigo con el mismo problema ademas de intentar mass compile pero no me funcina al parecer son muchos VIs que hay que compilar... tambien busque el LabVIEW conversion kit, pero son para versiones demasiado anteriores agradeceria me ayudaran a solucionar este problema.
    MUCHAS GRACIAS

    According to this, 8.2b23 is an illegal, bootlegged copy of LabVIEW.

  • Songs ending too early

    It seems that since the last update to I Tunes some songs are ending too early (30 to 1:30 too ealry).  The get info button does not indicate the songs should end early.  When i download the song again, the problem stops.

    There could be a number of causes. If the iPod only plays a very short part of the file <10 secs this is usually down to problems with the structure of the file that iTunes can cope with but that causes the iPod to bail out. Re-encoding in iTunes will normally help, ie. re-rip or convert from MP3 to AAC or vice versa. Since all transcoding is lossy you should retain your original file as a backup in the hope that future firmware upgrades will fix this issue. iTunes also has a feature to allow you to exclude parts of a song from being played. Use *Get info* on a song in question and look at the Options tab. There are options here to set a start & stop time and to remember the playback position. Setting any of these will affect what gets played each time the track is selected. Finally, if you're playing songs in random order that are part of continous play albums the exact point at which the track stops may not be quite where you expect it to be.

  • Preflight droplet returns too early

    I want to convert a color PDF into grayscale. So I created a new preflight profile where nothing happens except color fixup:
    Advanced > Print Production > Preflight
    PDF Fixups > Convert to Grayscale
    I saved the profile and created a Droplet named grey.exe.
    When I call grey.exe smallSize_1MB.pdf everything  is fine. But when I have to convert a PDF having big filesize like grey.exe bigSize_160MB.pdf the Droplet .exe process returns before the preflight is done.
    Problems: A script (e.g. a batch file) continues without waiting for the Droplet to finish. So the script cannot make use the Droplet's result, e.g. a preflight report or the converted PDF file.
    Why does the Droplet's .exe process return too early? Everybody can test this with the help of the attached Droplet and the following batch scripts:
    smallSize.bat (use something small, e.g. 1 MB or smaller):
    copy /Y smallSize.pdf tmp.pdf
    grey.exe tmp.pdf
    echo "return"
    pause
    bigSize.bat (use something really big, e.g. 160 MB or bigger):
    copy /Y bigSize.pdf tmp.pdf
    grey.exe tmp.pdf
    echo "return"
    pause
    Ideas, anyone?
    Message was edited by: Droptix  I am using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional.
    Message was edited by: Droptix  As an alternative I can imagine to re-produce the Droplet's function by Interapplication communication (IAC) through OLE, see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/interapplication.html -> if anyone can tell me how to do a grayscale conversion via IAC/OLE... would be great! I know the IAC/OLE basics, can open, save and edit PDFs but don't know how to convert. It would also be possible to use: Advanced/Print Production/Convert Colors > set all Document Colors to convert > set Blending profile for instance to Gray Gamma 1.8 > set conversion options to don't embed profile.

    This is not a good way to do it. But this is the way I do it now...
    It seems to work but there is no guarantee that it will work in the future, or even on all machines.
    private static int WaitForAcrobatReady() {
      // Get the current Acrobat instance.
      var app = new Acrobat.AcroApp();
      // While a preflight (droplet) is running, app.GetNumAVDocs() will
      // not return ANYTHING, it will just hang.
      return app.GetNumAVDocs();
    To sum up the efforts of the last weeks: Acrobat doesn't seem to be made for inclusion in other automation jobs. This is just another thing that doesn't work.
    (I had to use the C# library PDFSharp to do other things that Acrobat can do really well only that it's not possible to set those properties, or start that kind of actions, from "outside".)

  • Lvwutil32 version too early to covert to current LabVIEW version?

    Hi all,
    I am looking to control the windows panel with some of the useful vis stored inside the lvwutil32 lib. However when I tried to open the vis inside the library, an error message saying that the vi version (4.0) is too early to be converted to my current LabVIEW version (8.5.1).
    Is there anyway to reconvert the vi that my current LabVIEW can use? It is a great shame as from the readme that comes with the lvwutil32, it seems that there are a lot of useful vis that I would find very useful for my projects.
    Hope someone could provide some help on this. Thanks!

  • Windows TCP Socket Buffer Hitting Plateau Too Early

    Note: This is a repost of a ServerFault Question edited over the course of a few days, originally here: http://serverfault.com/questions/608060/windows-tcp-window-scaling-hitting-plateau-too-early
    Scenario: We have a number of Windows clients regularly uploading large files (FTP/SVN/HTTP PUT/SCP) to Linux servers that are ~100-160ms away. We have 1Gbit/s synchronous bandwidth at the office and the servers are either AWS instances or physically hosted
    in US DCs.
    The initial report was that uploads to a new server instance were much slower than they could be. This bore out in testing and from multiple locations; clients were seeing stable 2-5Mbit/s to the host from their Windows systems.
    I broke out iperf
    -s on a an AWS instance and then from a Windows client in the office:
    iperf
    -c 1.2.3.4
    [ 5] local 10.169.40.14 port 5001 connected with 1.2.3.4 port 55185
    [ 5] 0.0-10.0 sec 6.55 MBytes 5.48 Mbits/sec
    iperf
    -w1M -c 1.2.3.4
    [ 4] local 10.169.40.14 port 5001 connected with 1.2.3.4 port 55239
    [ 4] 0.0-18.3 sec 196 MBytes 89.6 Mbits/sec
    The latter figure can vary significantly on subsequent tests, (Vagaries of AWS) but is usually between 70 and 130Mbit/s which is more than enough for our needs. Wiresharking the session, I can see:
    iperf
    -c Windows SYN - Window 64kb, Scale 1 - Linux SYN, ACK: Window 14kb, Scale: 9 (*512) 
    iperf
    -c -w1M Windows SYN - Windows 64kb, Scale 1 - Linux SYN, ACK: Window 14kb, Scale: 9
    Clearly the link can sustain this high throughput, but I have to explicity set the window size to make any use of it, which most real world applications won't let me do. The TCP handshakes use the same starting points in each case, but the forced one scales
    Conversely, from a Linux client on the same network a straight, iperf
    -c (using the system default 85kb) gives me:
    [ 5] local 10.169.40.14 port 5001 connected with 1.2.3.4 port 33263
    [ 5] 0.0-10.8 sec 142 MBytes 110 Mbits/sec
    Without any forcing, it scales as expected. This can't be something in the intervening hops or our local switches/routers and seems to affect Windows 7 and 8 clients alike. I've read lots of guides on auto-tuning, but these are typically about disabling scaling
    altogether to work around bad terrible home networking kit.
    Can anyone tell me what's happening here and give me a way of fixing it? (Preferably something I can stick in to the registry via GPO.)
    Notes
    The AWS Linux instance in question has the following kernel settings applied in sysctl.conf:
    net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
    net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
    net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
    net.core.wmem_default = 1048576
    net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 1048576 16777216
    net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 1048576 16777216
    I've used dd
    if=/dev/zero | nc redirecting to /dev/null at
    the server end to rule out iperfand
    remove any other possible bottlenecks, but the results are much the same. Tests with ncftp(Cygwin,
    Native Windows, Linux) scale in much the same way as the above iperf tests on their respective platforms.
    First fix attempts.
    Enabling CTCP - This makes no difference; window scaling is identical. (If I understand this correctly, this setting increases the rate at which the congestion window is enlarged rather than the maximum size it can reach)
    Enabling TCP timestamps. - No change here either.
    Nagle's algorithm - That makes sense and at least it means I can probably ignore that particular blips in the graph as any indication of the problem.
    pcap files: Zip file available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/104qdysmk01lnf6/iperf-pcaps-10s-Win%2BLinux-2014-06-30.zip (Anonymised
    with bittwiste, extracts to ~150MB as there's one from each OS client for comparison)
    Second fix attempts.
    I've enabled ctcp and disabled chimney offloading: TCP Global Parameters
    Receive-Side Scaling State : enabled
    Chimney Offload State : disabled
    NetDMA State : enabled
    Direct Cache Acess (DCA) : disabled
    Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : normal
    Add-On Congestion Control Provider : ctcp
    ECN Capability : disabled
    RFC 1323 Timestamps : enabled
    Initial RTO : 3000
    Non Sack Rtt Resiliency : disabled
    But sadly, no change in the throughput.
    I do have a cause/effect question here, though: The graphs are of the RWIN value set in the server's ACKs to the client. With Windows clients, am I right in thinking that Linux isn't scaling this value beyond that low point because the client's limited CWIN
    prevents even that buffer from being filled? Could there be some other reason that Linux is artificially limiting the RWIN?
    Note: I've tried turning on ECN for the hell of it; but no change, there.
    Third fix attempts.
    No change following disabling heuristics and RWIN autotuning. Have updated the Intel network drivers to the latest (12.10.28.0) with software that exposes functioanlity tweaks viadevice manager tabs. The card is an 82579V Chipset on-board NIC - (I'm going to
    do some more testing from clients with realtek or other vendors)
    Focusing on the NIC for a moment, I've tried the following (Mostly just ruling out unlikely culprits):
    Increase receive buffers to 2k from 256 and transmit buffers to 2k from 512 (Both now at maximum) - No change
    Disabled all IP/TCP/UDP checksum offloading. - No change.
    Disabled Large Send Offload - Nada.
    Turned off IPv6, QoS scheduling - Nowt.
    Further investigation
    Trying to eliminate the Linux server side, I started up a Server 2012R2 instance and repeated the tests using iperf (cygwin
    binary) and NTttcp.
    With iperf,
    I had to explicitly specify -w1m on both sides
    before the connection would scale beyond ~5Mbit/s. (Incidentally, I could be checked and the BDP of ~5Mbits at 91ms latency is almost precisely 64kb. Spot the limit...)
    The ntttcp binaries showed now such limitation. Using ntttcpr
    -m 1,0,1.2.3.5 on the server and ntttcp
    -s -m 1,0,1.2.3.5 -t 10 on the client, I can see much better throughput:

    57833 14664 0 0 9.476
    8MB/s puts it up at the levels I was getting with explicitly large windows in iperf.
    Oddly, though, 80MB in 1273 buffers = a 64kB buffer again. A further wireshark shows a good, variable RWIN coming back from the server (Scale factor 256) that the client seems to fulfil; so perhaps ntttcp is misreporting the send window.
    Further PCAP files have been provided, here:https://www.dropbox.com/s/dtlvy1vi46x75it/iperf%2Bntttcp%2Bftp-pcaps-2014-07-03.zip
    Two more iperfs,
    both from Windows to the same Linux server as before (1.2.3.4): One with a 128k Socket size and default 64k window (restricts to ~5Mbit/s again) and one with a 1MB send window and default 8kb socket size. (scales higher)
    One ntttcp trace
    from the same Windows client to a Server 2012R2 EC2 instance (1.2.3.5). here, the throughput scales well. Note: NTttcp does something odd on port 6001 before it opens the test connection. Not sure what's happening there.
    One FTP data trace, uploading 20MB of /dev/urandom to
    a near identical linux host (1.2.3.6) using Cygwin ncftp.
    Again the limit is there. The pattern is much the same using Windows Filezilla.
    Changing the iperf buffer
    length does make the expected difference to the time sequence graph (much more vertical sections), but the actual throughput is unchanged.
    So we have a final question through all of this: Where is this limitation creeping in? If we simply have user-space software not written to take advantage of Long Fat Networks, can anything be done in the OS to improve the situation?

  • Material Cost Estimate - Release too early

    Hi,
    I ran the cost estimate for one material on 12.06.2008 and i released the cost estimate. Here it is saying 'Cost Estimate released too early'. I thought system is releasing the cost for material for the next month. but i want to update the material cost for this month only.
    And how many days before you have to run the cost estimate for the new month.
    sateesh

    Hi Sateesh,
    Please check the period which you have mentioned in CK24.
    I think the period you have given is of next month. Hence system is giving that message as next month's  period may not have been opened.
    System allows to release cost estimate only once in a period. Normal practice is to carry out cost run at the end of the month.
    Please do let me know if your problem is solved.

  • Chapter Markers End Jump Too Early-Problem

    Folks, I am using DVDSP 4 and my chapter markers keep stopping too early from the burned DVD. When I play the Video_TS folder using Apple DVD player all is well. When I burn it and play it on a standard DVD player, all the chapter markers end jump earlier than they should - cutting off my full credit rolls on my video track.
    All of my chapter markers came from Final Cut Pro where I initially made them.
    Please advise.

    Make sure you test this on more than one player if it is a "for real" project of replication or duplication. All players are not created equal and there are the real weird things that may show up on only one or two players, but you need to make sure. You may want to try the other methods and see if it helps on the problem player just for fun. (Yeah, I know does not sound like much fun, but it is sort of interesting I guess )

  • Outlook displays date of birthdays one day too early in MS Office 2007, 2010 and 2013

    Hi
    We are supporting several clients that has issues with Outlook. Different versions of Windows, Office and different exchange server versions. Some contacts' birthdays
    just "magically" changes to one day too early.  I have done extensive research with no answer. I have experienced this issue personally as early as about 2005 or 2006 with a Windows Mobile PDA.
    Our local time is GMT +2 without daylight-savings. I have checked the settings in Windows (Vista Pro and Win 7 pro
    x86 and x64) and the calendar settings, I have reloaded a couple of pc's, created new profiles, installed new server hardware with newer exchange.  Even tried a few off-the-wall ideas like resetting all views to default.
    Some users' address books are shared, some not. Some uses Apple, Android, BB or Windows phone, some don't.  Some connects through VPN, some don't. Some uses
    AVG, Avast, Eset Nod, Forticlient, Mcafee, etc....
    I have been fighting this problem for months, and can find no conclusive answer that resolves this.
    If I manually open the contact and rectify the date, it will stay correct for a very random time period and then shift
    again.
    I am about to lose a couple of my biggest clients, and probably my job as well, so I need urgent help.
    Please no remarks on OS version, Office version or mobile devices, as this is definitely not the issue.
    HELP!

    Hi,
    Have the users check on OWA, does the issue persist? Please also make sure the timezone of Exchange is also properly configured.
    I'm not an expert about Exchange, I hope this blog can be helpful:

    To further dig the problem, rectify the date on owa and drop Outlook for a while(or one day), check the result the next day if the problem will come back.

    Recording should start 2 minutes before the scheduled start time and end 5 minutes after the scheduled stop time (by default - you can increase this).
     The box won't automatically cope with programmes which start late. Are the programmes you're having a problem with starting on time?
    Is the time displayed on the box correct?

    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Preflight droplet process returns too early – before it's done

    I'm calling an Acrobat preflight DROPLET from program that I'm writing, and I need to know when the files are ready, that is when the preflight fixups are done.
    I need to know this in order to go on with some other file system stuff in my program, that needs to be done after the preflight fixups.
    I guess the droplet just tells Acrobat what to do, and then exits. The Droplet process stays up for a while but exits before the work is done.
    There is an question from 2009 asking the exact same thing, but no answer.  Preflight droplet returns too early
    Since it's in a locked section of the forum I venture to ask the same question now, six years later.
    Checking the modified dates of all files does not seem to work since a preflight obviously does not alter files that are not in need of being altered.
    I'm on windows, and I don't know whether this is a platform dependent problem.
    What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    This is not a good way to do it. But this is the way I do it now...
    It seems to work but there is no guarantee that it will work in the future, or even on all machines.
    private static int WaitForAcrobatReady() {
      // Get the current Acrobat instance.
      var app = new Acrobat.AcroApp();
      // While a preflight (droplet) is running, app.GetNumAVDocs() will
      // not return ANYTHING, it will just hang.
      return app.GetNumAVDocs();
    To sum up the efforts of the last weeks: Acrobat doesn't seem to be made for inclusion in other automation jobs. This is just another thing that doesn't work.
    (I had to use the C# library PDFSharp to do other things that Acrobat can do really well only that it's not possible to set those properties, or start that kind of actions, from "outside".)
