Why does LabVIEW 2009 revert to the old icon editor?

Hi,
I have noticed that sometimes when I am trying to edit the icon in LabVIEW 2009, I get the old style icon editor from LabVIEW 8.5 days instead of the more advanced new one with layers, gliphys, etc. Once the old style editor shows up, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to the advanced editor. Has anyone seen this behaviour? I have version 8.5 of LabVIEW still installed, should I remove it? Do I need to restart my computer?
Thanks.
Bob

Here are some of the errors I see ...

TS1398 Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon?

Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon? I have implemented ALL of the troubleshooting tips, but my WiFi icon is still missing, and it will NOT recognize the internet connection that I know to work on my computer and iPhone.

Try the following:
1. Reset the AirPlay devices
2. Reboot the router
3. Reboot the iPad
Note: The AirPlay icon is now in the Control Center

Why does labview 2009 32-bit closes up with no error message?

Hello.
I am developing an application using a PCI-6534 board, Windows XP SP3, and LabVIEW 2009 32-bits. In this application I am generating a 300 Hz signal using the P2.0 digital line. I am trying to make digital acquisition using the P0 port (8 bits), using N-sampling. The program that generates the 300 Hz clock, works with no problem. However, when I start running the program that performs the data acquisition, LabVIEW suddenly closes up with no error message. The LabVIEW windows just disappear from the screen.
As for me it looks like a LabVIEW bug.
In case anyone decided to help me, I could attach the programs so that you could check them.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you.

I had the same problem with one of our applications. I supplied gigabytes of process monitor and desktop execution toolkit logs, but nothing was resolved. I upgraded from WS2003 and LV2009sp1 to W7 64b and LV2010, per NI's recommendation but the problem persists. I had the corresponding service ticket open for 3 months where NI said the application ran fine for them on W7 with 2010. (long story)
I understand your frustration, and I recommend getting your local application engineer involved as an advocate with application support.. If you pay for service, pound on them to provide it. My $0.02.

Why does Photoshop Elements not remove the old version after installing an upgrade?

When I install a new version of Photoshop Elements, it converts the old catalog but does not remove the old programs. I just installed PS 11 over PS 10 and it did not remove it. I have had the same problem with each upgrade. I have to manually uninstall the old version.
Thanks.

It's good to have the software you paid for
Uninstalling the older version post an upgrade might be discomforting to many users, so...
Catalog conversion works fine irrespective of whether you uninstall or do not uninstall the older version since the catalog folders are not touched during uninstall.
Thanks

My music is in the cloud, but it's also on my hard drive. Why does it all show with the cloud icon? Anyway to force the iTunes client to recognize that all of the music is already in my iTunes library folder?

Recently moved to a new PC. Upon installing iTunes, in the Settings dialogue, I've indicated where my iTunes library is stored. And yet, all of my albums in iTunes are showing up with the "cloud" icon, meaning that the client doesn't realize there is a local copy. Clicking the "cloud" icon ends up downloading a duplicate copy of the song/album.
Any suggestions for how to fix this...so that my iTunes client knows all of this music is on my hard drive (in addition to being in the cloud)?
Thanks!

Why does Labview insert quotations in the case structure selector box?

I was building a case structure with an array of strings. So, I copied the strings from the array on the FRONT PANEL directly into the SELECTOR LABEL. My 3 strings have the form; to me, these are 5- character strings with spaces, or 7 characters if you count the spaces as string characters
A, B, C
A, B, D
A, B, E
So, when I copied and pasted them directly into the selector box A, B, C appeared as "A", "B", "C" and A, B, D appeared as "A", "B", "C" and then I got an error for selector values not unique. Why didn't it appear as "A, B, C"?
Why did it transform the string I pasted and insert the quotation marks? I used no quotation marks in my array. Does the selector label interpret commas as functional characters that require quotation marks??
Thanks,
Dave

Actually in CASE STRUCTURE, any frame can have multiple values as 'Case Selector value' and these are separated by a comma. Also if you choose to operate a CASE STRUCTURE using string, it will automatically prefixs & suffixs quotes (") to that string.
But you can enter "A, B, C" manually and it will remain as it is. But if you copy and paste A, B, C, the CASE STRUCTURE will automatically change it to "A", "B", "C".

Why does my computer revert back to old setting on restart

i have an imac running 10.84. whenever i restart my machine everything resets to an old setting - iI cant seem to effect a permanent change when I want to - for instance if I remove apps from thedock and even delte them they reappear at next restart. If i delete an old email account it reappears at next restart. So do all my bookmarks in safari - I cant add a new one or delet an old on a permanent basis . Its driving me nuts! I have turned time machine off thinking it could be that but there is no difference. I wonder if its to do with icloud backup somehow but cant figure out how . Any help much appreciated!

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

Why does Labview allow a cursor in a indicator?

Hello,
Why does Labview allow the user to position the cursor with the mouse inside a numeric indicator? Users think that just because they can put a cursor they should be able to type something and enter data. Is there a way to disable/stop the user from putting the cursor in a numeric indicator?
Regards,
Kaspar
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Disabling the indicator satisfies your requirements, but this is funnier. It would be even better if I calculated the position of the indicator and the "entry point" and just kept the mouse from entering, but I have a project to finish...

Why does LabVIEW allow me to have 2 controls with same name

Here's a general LabVIEW question:
Why does LabVIEW allow me to have 2 controls with the same name in the same VI? It seems like this only increases the chances of confusion. Especially when someone is just looking at a block diagram (or documentation of a block diagram).
No other programming language that I know of allows this. I realize that uniqueness of name is not as critical in LabVIEW as it is in any text based language. For example, in a text based language, if I had 2 variables called abc and I wrote a statement
abc = 12;
the compiler would not know which abc was being referred to. In LabVIEW, if we had 2 controls called abc, the equivalent of doing an abc=12 is writing to a local variable (which is always linked to one of the controls) and there is no ambiguity. Still, someone looking at the code cannot figure out which abc is linked to unless he does a right click>>Find>>terminal (or a double click).
Even though I have never and never will name 2 controls the same, I think it would be a nice constraint to see enforced by LabVIEW.
Any input from NI engineers on this?

I know when you copy and paste a control or indicator, LabVIEW automatically increments the label. But since you can hide the label, and show or hide the caption, there must be another mechanism that LabVIEW uses to keep track of all the controls. I thought I remember back in the "old days" (ver 6 or 6i) LabVIEW would give you an error if you tried to make two controls with the same name. Perhaps that was LabWindows/CVI.
I don't know where the index is actually stored, but if you look at a property node linked to the Pane, you will see an array of references to the controls and indicators. Since the references are stored in an array, I assume that any local variables are tied to the index of that array. Since the labels themselves are properties of the control, I guess there's no reason to limit what that label is. They all have a unique index number.
Interestingly, this array of references grows from the beginning. That is, any new control or indicator is put at index 0, not the end of the array.

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier? Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

Kenny_777 wrote:

Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

Why does my 2009 27" imac keep shutting down?

why does my 2009 27" imac keep shutting down?

Could, also, be failing hard drive , power supply or logic board.
You may have to make an appointment and take your iMac in to Apple or Apple authorized repair center for diagnostics and a repair estimate.
If your iMac has a 1 TB internal hard drive, it maybe a Seagate drive and maybe eligible for free replacement under the Apple Seagate 1 TB internal hard drive replacement program.
If you can get your iMac running, you need to backup all of your data ASAP!. Either backup to optical disc, flash drive/s or purchase an external hard drive for backup. You can use a data cloning program such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make an exact copy of your iMac's internal hard drive.
You can check for eligibility for free hard drive replacement by inputting your iMac's serial number here.

Are you talking about the spell checking? Or the keyboard layout? Safari, or some other browser?
For spellcheck, go to system prefs/language & text/text/spelling and set it to British English. Also go to system prefs/language & text/language and use the Edit button to add British English to the top of the list.

Does LabVIEW 2009 support multiple monitors?

Does LabVIEW 2009 support the use of multiple monitors for development? Screen real estate use in LabVIEW is difficult. It would help if the developer could use more than one monitor.
In LabVIEW 2009 can you pin certain items to appear or pop up only on a specific monitor?
Can you have Front panels only show up on one monitor and Block Diagrams on another monitor?
How is this done?

Not exactly like this, but LabVIEW VIs remember thier last location when saved and will come up at that positiont, unless that is entirely out of the current desktop in which case they will default back to the primary monitor.
Also VI server supports multiple monitors too by giving you back a list of monitor rectangles so you could do a little utility that runs in the background to do what you want. Most likely you will not like such a deamon that pulls your diagrams and panels around as you move them on your screen, but you can try it out.

Does LabVIEW 8.6 support the NXT toolkit?

Does LabVIEW 8.6 support the NXT toolkit?, the NXT toolkit 1.0.1 patch does not give instructions on how to load it with LabVIEW 8.6. Does anyone know how to load the patch with LabVIEW 8.6?
LEGOAustin

Hi LEGOAUSTIN,
Check out the forum dedicated to Lego: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board?board.id=beta18. It is largely community driven but sometimes NI employees post.
I would also talk to Lego about NXT support. Check out his KB on the issue: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/59F9356834A0E85086257244007A3354?OpenDocument.
What I can give you in the meantime is to ensure you've done the right order:
Install the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Toolkit v1.0
Restart the computer
Install the LEGO patch 1.0.1
As for explicit support in LabVIEW 8.6, it doesn't appear to be any right now and I cannot comment on the future.
A quick Google Search came up with this as a possible work around: http://forums.nxtasy.org/index.php?showtopic=3277
