Known Issues for the NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit 6.0 and the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 6.0
Primary Software: Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite
Primary Software Version: 6.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: 6.0
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Sound and Vibration Toolset
Problem: The NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 6.0, NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit 6.0, and NI Sound and Vibration Assistant 6.0 have the following known issues.
Solution: The following known issues include those listed in the readmes installed with the software and issues that appeared after release.
Installation
Waterfall and Colormap Displays
UFF58 File I/O
General
Sound and Vibration Assistant
- If you want to install the Sound and Vibration Toolkit 6.0 or Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 6.0 and the LabVIEW System Identification Toolkit, you must install the System Identification Toolkit 3.0.1 before you install the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite. If you already have the System Identification Toolkit 3.0.0 installed, you must uninstall any of the following software that you have installed: Sound and Vibration Toolkit or Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite, System Identification Toolkit, Control Design Toolkit, and LabVIEW SignalExpress. You then can install the System Identification Toolkit 3.0.1.
- To color the 3D box decoration of Waterfall graphs and Octave Waterfall graphs, you must paint behind the two transparent graphs. If you color the hidden graphs, you cannot save those colors and the graphs return to transparent the next time you open the VI. Paint the bottom right corner of the decoration to ensure proper coloring of the decoration.
- The shortcut menu of the Waterfall graph and the Octave Waterfall graph might seem unresponsive when the VI is running. Continual selection of the menu item eventually executes the selection.
- The Waterfall graph, Octave Waterfall graph, and Colormap indicators might take some time to load when you use them for the first time. Click the indicator on the Sound & Vibration palette, wait until the dashed outline of the indicator appears, then click the front panel. The dashed outline appears when LabVIEW finishes loading the indicator.
- If you write to two UFF58 files in a loop or in two different VIs without changing the names of the files, LabVIEW returns error -2570, and you cannot flush data back to disk.
- If you have an application that uses the SVT Integration (frequency) VI that ships with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit 2.0 and the Sound and Vibration Toolkit 3.0, the application is broken in the Sound and Vibration Toolkit 6.0. To fix the application, replace the SVT Integration (frequency) VI with the SVL Integration (frequency) VI and reconnect the input and output terminals.
- The Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite does not support the OAT Extract Most Significant Order Waveforms VI, the OAT Extract Order Waveforms VI, or the OAT Tachless Speed Profile Generator VI on a VxWorks Real-Time target.
- If you open an Order Tracking Express VI saved in the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 5.0 and generate code, the wire to the error in control is broken. You must re-wire the error in control.
- If you install the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite in LabVIEW 8.2.1 and access the help by selecting Help»Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite Help in LabVIEW, the buttons for opening example VIs in the help do not work. To use these buttons, access the help by opening
svmain.chm from the labview\help directory.
- The Sound and Vibration Assistant extends existing SignalExpress technology. The SignalExpress readme, located in the
Program Files\National Instruments\SignalExpress directory, lists known issues that you might encounter as you use the Sound and Vibration Assistant.
- Sound and Vibration Assistant example projects that acquire data require the device name to be
Dev1. If you want to use the example projects with your hardware, verify the device name is Dev1 in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). If you need to rename your hardware, right-click the device in MAX and select Rename from the shortcut menu.
- You lose the buffered data of a colormap, speed profile, XY graph, or waterfall graph if you switch from Playback mode to Monitor / Record mode and then switch back to Playback mode.
- When you export colormap or waterfall graph data to an Excel spreadsheet, you might lose some of the data if you use Microsoft Excel 2003 or earlier. Microsoft Excel 2003 has a maximum limit of 256 columns for a worksheet.
- (Windows Vista) If you install the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 6.0 or Sound and Vibration Toolkit 6.0 with LabVIEW 8.2.1, and you have LabVIEW 8.5 installed, you cannot generate LabVIEW block diagram code from the Sound and Vibration Assistant. Refer to the KnowledgeBase (4BAC1SUK) at
ni.com for a workaround.
- If you build a project with the Limt Test step and apply code generation to the project from the Assistant to LabVIEW 8.2.1, the result of the code generation might be broken. You must re-wire the CG_Limit Test RepackData.vi in the
labview\vi.lib\express\SignalExpress\Support\Test\LimitTest.llb.
