Path Rel To = "IVI Standard Root"
Path Rel Path = "Drivers/niRFSG/niRFSG.fp"

Return
Some LabWindows/CVI GPIB functions return positive values if the GPIB driver is not installed.

Workaround: You can workaround this by checking if the return value is 0x8000 (ERR), and if so, check the value of iberr. You can also ignore the return value and check if ibsta has the ERR bit set after the function returns.

CNVProcessIsRunning may incorrectly report that the process is running if the program is run as a startup program.

Workaround: If a label is not needed for the control, the user can add a label and then move it off screen programmatically using the ATTR_LABEL_LEFT and ATTR_LABEL_TOP attributes. The idea is to move it up and left far enough that it always is off screen, thereby ensuring the label always extends past the left edge of the inc/dec arrows.

When the precision of a double or float label/value pair is modified in the User Interface Editor, the precision attribute is restored to its original value when the Edit Label/Value Pairs dialog box is opened again.

Workaround: This behavior occurs only if there is only 1 label/value pair. Multiple label/value pairs persist the precision attribute. If you want only 1 label/value pair, add a second label/value pair and then change the precision attribute. Close the Edit Label/Value Pairs dialog box by clicking OK. Return to the Edit Label/Value Pairs dialog box and remove the second label/value pair. The precision attribute will now persist this value.

Return
Radial controls do not resize all elements proportionally.
Some controls will not scale all elements proportionally when the Scale Contents On Resize panel option is enabled and they are resized. Radial controls such as the gauge, meter, and knob must maintain a consistent aspect ratio for the radial portion of the control. However, this is not necessary for some elements of the control such as the label. These elements will not be scaled the same. This can cause elements to become misaligned or overlap.

Workaround: Use the splitter control to resize controls rather than the Scale Contents On Resize option. Refer to the docking.cws example for details on how to accomplish this with splitter controls.
