Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 2009    Resolved Version: N/A    Added: 03/08/2011
361691

Return		 The GetAllBreakpoints LabWindows/CVI ActiveX Server Interface function does not set numBreakpoints output parameter.

Analysis
306163

Return		 The PeakDetector function does not recognize peaks of a sine wave when the sampling rate is very high.
If the peak is relatively flat because of the high number of points acquired at the high sampling rate, the PeakDetector function may not find the peaks.

Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 2010    Resolved Version: N/A    Added: 07/27/2011
360485

Return		 Passing NULL to SingleToneSignal for the searchType input parameter causes a fatal run-time error.

Compiler
206504

Return		 Building debug versions of very large projects may cause LabWindows/CVI to run out of memory.

Workaround: Right-click files that do not need to be debugged and select Enable 'O' Option. This option removes debugging information from the compiled object file, resulting in a much smaller memory footprint.

Reported Version: 9.0    Resolved Version: N/A    Added: 05/05/2010
237998

Return		 Cannot link some uuid.lib symbols in a 32-bit program.

void a(b, int c) { int d = b; }

Workaround: Remove the syntax error before recompiling.

Reported Version: 5.0    Resolved Version: N/A    Added: 03/09/2011

Reported Version: 2010    Resolved Version: N/A    Added: 07/27/2011
295246

Return		 A source file containing a very large array of structures might fail to compile.
For example, if you declare an array of 5000000 NIComplexNumber structures, LabWindows/CVI will fail to compile the file without any error message.

Workaround: Either:
  • Set the Debugging level option (Options»Build Options) to No run-time checking.
  • Define the array in a new source file. Right-click the new source file in the project tree and select Enable .Obj Option.

The issue exists with the odbccp32.lib that is included in the Windows 7 SDK.

Workaround: Use odbccp32.lib from the Windows Vista SDK instead.

Reported Version: 2010    Resolved Version: N/A    Added: 07/17/2012
359402

Return		 Third-party compilers do not enable C99 extensions even if you enable the Build with C99 extensions option in the Build Options dialog box.
This behavior can cause problems in some LabWindows/CVI headers that require _CVI_C99_EXTENSIONS_ to be defined.

Workaround: In the Advanced Compiler Options dialog box for the third party setup, add -D_CVI_C99_EXTENSIONS_=1 to the C99 Flags field. While this flag is enabled, the C99 extensions checkbox will work for this third party compiler.

Return		 Program can hang when a graph or strip chart is on screen and axis labels are visible
For this problem to occur at least one axis label must visible. When label strings get too close to the edge of the control, they will attempt to reposition themselves inward to avoid being cut off, but in some cases the repositioning algorithm will reposition to the same value and cycle endlessly. On Linux this problem can manifest itself as a hang that requires you to end the process. This problem is most likely to occur with one of the x-axis label strings if the x-axis has negative values or ATTR_FIXED_PLOT_AREA is enabled and ATTR_PLOT_AREA_LEFT is set too close to the edge.

Workaround: There are two workarounds: 1) Disable the axis label string. 2) Enable ATTR_FIXED_PLOT_AREA and then set ATTR_PLOT_AREA_LEFT (if the problem is happening with the left x-axis) to a value a few pixels over to the right until the problem stops occurring. The value this needs to be set to is dependent on the font and min/max of the affected scale so a precise value can't be given.
