Whenever I leave the main VI screen, the data is no longer able to be read.

I have a VI that I have used on and off on a test stand of mine for a year and a half. Yesterday, I ran it for the first time in about a month, and the VI had developed a peculiar problem. Whenever I leave the main VI screen and go back to it, data is no longer able to be read. By "leaving the main VI screen" I mean bringing up another Windows program into the foreground, or switching to the diagram screen of the VI I'm running, or even using one of the buttons on the main VI to bring up a sub VI screen. If I stop and then restart the VI, then everything is fine again. All data is read perfectly for hours on end until I leave the screen and then it goes nuts.
I actually ha
ve 4 boards that are being read by the program, and all of the inputs from one of the boards go haywire in this way. The inputs from the other three boards are always fine, and all inputs from the one board always aren't. The inputs include both pressure transducers and thermocouples. I also want to stress that the program worked fine for a year and a half until yesterday. Now, it doesn't. The board that has problems is an SCXI-1102, if that makes a difference, but I really get the impression that it is a software problem.
I originally thought it might be that the sub VIs had been changed in such a way as to not allow them to close properly except that the problem persists even when I simply switch back and forth between the diagram and front panel. In this case, I haven't touched anything in the program! I also thought that there might not be enough disk space on the computer, so I just cleared 100 Meg off my hard drive yesterday, but the problem persists. Does this problem
sound familiar to anybody?

Interesting. I thought about posting the same answer, because I, too have had the same experience with video drivers. I wasn't sure if this was a problem that anybody else was having, but evidently it is.
If you dig deep down into LabVIEW manuals, it does make a suggestion to drop the colors to as few as you need. My driver was having problems with 16 million colors, so I dropped it to 256. All my problems disappeared when I did this, too.

    Camera Raw will not install on my mac,os 10.7.5. When I click on the install package the main install screen opens and that is as far as I can proceed with the down load. I have to force quit the software and try again. I have deleted and downloaded the software several times to no avail. I need some help.

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss.

  • I have an iMac and iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with an album in iphoto.  When I double click on the album all I get in the main body of the screen is a triangle with an exclamation mark and my 2 photos show at the very bottom of the window.

    I have an imac and am using iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with one particular album which shows in the main part of the window a triangle with an exclamation point.  The two photos are at the bottom of the main window in the same area where the "info" "edit" "create" area is.  I can see the two photos but I can not get them back into the main part of the window.  I can't drag them anywhere either.  I can't double click or right click on either of the two photos either. All I can do is click on either one and they get a little bigger.  Before I saw the exclamation point in the main body of the window all I get is two squares with nothing in them and the entire border is made up of dashes.  Can someone help me?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
                                            Screenshot is for iPhoto 9
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands.  I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

    The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands.  I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?
    Help, please.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hi, I'm making hyperlinks. They work for the main page of the webpage, but when I'm trying to redirect the hyperlink to a "sub page" of the webpage it is still going to the main page. (allthough I'm pasting the complete url address)

    Hi! first of all, thank you so much for your help.
    I don't know about that panel you are talking about.
    what I do is RIGHT CLICK, INTERACTIVE, NEW HYPERLINK, and a window pops up, where I paste the address (images).
    Where says URL I paste the complete address that the "sub page" gives me.
    Is that correct? (for the main page of the wabepage works correctly)
    thanks!!!

  • Unable to check mail on the main menu using the em...

    Hi, 
    I have a Nokia N86 and when you complete the basic setup, it asks you for your email. At the main page, under the application icons, I see "Yahoo Mail (0)". I geussed that it automatically checks for my email. I sent myself an email on my computer and checked the application, but I didn't receive it. Then in the Yahoo Mail, I opened it up in my inbox and chose Option > Send and Receive now, but nothing happened and there's a big red cross at the top right.
    What should I do to make this email app work?
    By the way, later on I figured out that when I launched the email app, I wasn't connected to my WLAN network. That's because I don't know how to connect to it manually wihtout web browsing. I only know how to connect to the WLAN network when web browsing but not when I'm on the home page. Maybe that should help in solving the problem.
    Thanks,

  • Website help: Creating a side bar then the main part of the webpage??

    Hi guys, im currently making a website in dreamweaver but ive coe into some problems and theyve got me stumped...
    basically, i have been using dreamweaver and ive managed to create a side bar for my website with separate div tages etc and now i want to create the main body of the page, eg the menu and the images but i cant get it do do what i want it to do...
    when i insert the div tag for the main body part of my page it is placed above the side bar when i want it to the side of it, inline with it.... /: its fustrting cust ive been able to style all of the side bar and ive wanted to complete the rest of the site but currently im unable to...

    OK, here is how you need to look at your page:
    The outermost defined area is the body. Generally, to set up a website, you create basic "applies to all" stuff in the body definitions in your style sheet:
    For example:
    body {
              font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
              color: #000;
              background-color: #FFFFFF;
              margin: 20px 0;
              padding: 0px;
    That's going to create normal paragraph text in the website as Lucidia Sans (or Lucidia Grande if the client doesn't have that defaulting to sans-serif if that is not available), text color is black, background is white, top margin is 20 pixels, clear left and right margins and clear all padding.
    Now, you need to enclose the "website" into something that encases everything and I usually call that an outer wrapper.
    .outer-Wrapper {
              width: 80%;
              max-width: 1260px;/* a max-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too wide on a large monitor. This keeps line length more readable. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
              min-width: 780px;/* a min-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too narrow. This keeps line length more readable in the side columns. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
              background: #FFF;
              margin: 0 auto; /* the auto value on the sides, coupled with the width, centers the layout. It is not needed if you set the .container's width to 100%. */
    Explanations in comments.
    Now, you set up the rest of your page:
    .header {
    #nav {
              margin-left: 20%;
    /* ~~ These are the columns for the layout. ~~
    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
    4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.
    .sidebar {
              float: left;
              width: 20%;
              background-color: #cccccc;
              padding-bottom: 10px;
              color: #FFF;
    .content {
              padding: 10px 0;
              width: 80%;
              float: left;
              color: #000;
    Lastly, you want your footer to be below both columns, so you define that:
    .footer {
              padding: 10px 0;
              position: relative;/* this gives IE6 hasLayout to properly clear */
              clear: both; /* this clear property forces the .container to understand where the columns end and contain them */
              background-color: #eeeeee; /*This makes it gray so that it is separated from the rest of the page, but isn't too dark for black text */
    Now, let's go to the html:
    Define your page. Dreamweaver will allow you to define a page as XHTML 1.0 transitional or strict or XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01 transitional or strict or HTML5. Older versions of Dreamweaver have no HTML5 and may have older versons of HTML, but I either use XHTML 1.0 transitional or HTML5. There are good reasons for this.
    Dreamweaver will set up the site definitions depending on what you choose above the <head> area.
    Within the <head> area, you define the character set, give a title (make it unique for each page in your website) and point to your style sheet. You can use Dreamweaver's "Attach stylesheet." Any calls to JavaScript go here as well. If you have a separate style sheet for a drop-down menu structure or any other navigation, it will go there as well. Remember to close the <head> tag.
    Now, we define the body and go into the page:
    <body>
    <div class="outer-Wrapper">
    <div  ="header"> Header Goes Here</div>
    <div id="nav">Navigation placed here</div>
    <div class="sidebar">Your sidebar will go here</div>
    <div class="content">Your main content goes here and it will live to the right of your sidebar on the left</div>
    <div class="footer">I generally put the copyright information here and sometimes additional navigation in the footer</div>
    <div> <!-- Ends the outer-Wrapper -->
    </body>
    </html>
    This will absolutely work.
