Memory leak while Loading and Unloading OpenVINO model continuously in a loop

Unloading OpenVINO models can cause a memory leak. Calling IMAQ DL Create (OpenVINO) and then IMAQ DL Dispose to dispose the model can leak around 1KB of memory. 

Workaround:

We recommend re-using a Deep Learning session created with a specific model to avoid the memory leak.

Unexpected Behaviour in IMAQ TransformROI Function

When converting a set of points and to a corresponding region of interest and back to a set of points when the Axis reference is indirect for Measurement System and the Angle(deg) is zero results in an changed transformed point.

Workaround:

Changing the Angle(deg) to 360 will bring about the required result.

IMAQ Match Pattern4.vi hangs when run with 4 cores

IMAQ Match Pattern 4.vi hangs when run with 4 cores. This intermittent behavior can occur on machines with 4 cores, or if the application uses IMAQ Multi-Core Options to set the number of cores used by VDM equal to 4.

Workaround:

Use IMAQ Multi-Core Options to before IMAQ Match Pattern 4.vi to set the number of cores used to 1; reset to use all cores after IMAQ Match Pattern 4.

MSVC and CVI EXE examples hang launching the VDM runtime license activation dialog if the license is in evalualtion mode

If the VDM Runtime license is in evaluation mode, the example executables hang on first call to a licensed function and  the NILM licensing dialog to evaluate or activate the VDM runtime will not display. If the license was ready to evaluate, you will see the evaluation get started based on status shown in NILM before the hang happens, but then the executable will never continue.

Workaround:

Activate the VDM runtime license.

Geometric Pattern Matching algorithm returns different matches when changing the score or number of matches

In some cases, Geometric Pattern Matching algorithm returns different matches when changing the score or number of matches to find. This is due to the template size being too small.

Workaround:

To avoid noisy matches, REFINEMENT MATCH FACTOR can be increased.
