Changes from 2.0

  • A linker error no longer occurs if you include an external C file in an embedded project and the external C file has the same name as a VI in the same project.
  • The Format Into String function no longer fails with strings containing embedded nulls.

General Known Issues

  • If you are upgrading to LabVIEW 8.2.1, the Embedded Development Module 2.0.1, and the Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors 2.0, you must uninstall and install the components in the following order:
    1. Uninstall the Embedded Development Module 2.0.
    2. Install LabVIEW 8.2.1.
    3. Install the Embedded Development Module 2.0.1.
    4. Install the Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors 2.0.

    Failure to follow these steps could result in missing files. If this happens, you can resolve the issue by repairing the NI LabVIEW 8.2.1 Embedded Support installation in Add or Remove Programs.
  • To port the LabVIEW Analysis library, you must have a C++ compiler that supports the C++ Standard Template Library (STL).
  • You must set the projectDebugPumpOSMsgs LabVIEW INI token to TRUE to debug plug-in VIs. LabVIEW.ini is located in the labview directory.
  • When you use a #include in an Inline C Node to add a header file, the #include is inserted in the middle of the C file, which can cause problems with scoping. To resolve this issue, use the Add/Remove Header Files dialog box to add header files. Adding header files using the Add/Remove Header Files dialog box inserts the code at the top of the generated C file.
  • Because the default fonts on Windows Vista are different than the default fonts on previous versions of Windows, you might notice cosmetic issues, such as overlapping or truncated text strings, in VIs and LabVIEW dialog boxes. To resolve this issue, change the theme of the operating system to Windows Classic in the Theme Settings dialog box and then restart LabVIEW. Select Start»Control Panel»Appearance and Personalization and click Change the theme to display the Theme Settings dialog box. You might encounter similar cosmetic issues on Windows XP if you use large fonts.
  • If you use refnums in a cluster and try to build the embedded VI into an embedded application using the debug mode, you receive a run-time error or LabVIEW crashes. To resolve this issue, build the application using release mode.
  • The Fire External Timing Source VI generates an external timing source only once regardless of the value of the count input.
  • When you use the Configure Target Syntax dialog box to generate the target syntax XML file, you receive an error if any of the fields in the dialog box contain a file that does not already exist. To resolve this issue, verify all files exist before you generate the target syntax XML file.
  • If you wire a cluster or arrays of integer refnums, such as menu refnums, occurrence refnums, and so on, to the number/path/refnum input in the Not A Number/Path/Refnum? function, the NaN/Path/Refnum? Boolean output always returns FALSE.

Documentation Known Issues

  • The Detailed Help link in the Context Help window does not open the correct topic for the Serial Compatibility VIs and the RT FIFO VIs. To access the help for these VIs, open the LabVIEW Help by selecting Help»Search the LabVIEW Help. Click the Index tab and search for Serial Compatibility VIs and RTFIFO VIs, respectively.
