Sound and Vibration Toolkit and Measurement Suite 5.0 Known Issues
Primary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Sound and Vibration Toolset
Primary Software Version: 5.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Order Analysis Toolset
Problem: The Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 5.0, Sound and Vibration Toolkit 5.0, and Sound and Vibration Assistant 1.0 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.
- If you want to install the Sound and Vibration Toolkit 5.0 or Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 5.0 and the System Identification Toolkit 3.0.0, 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. Refer to ni.com for information about obtaining the System Identification Toolkit 3.0.1 upgrade CD.
- If you have the Sound and Vibration Toolkit 5.0 and multiple versions of LabVIEW installed, the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 5.0 can only install in the same version of LabVIEW that the Sound and Vibration Toolkit 5.0 is installed in.
- To color the 3-D box decoration of the Waterfall and Octave Waterfall Graphs, you must paint behind the two transparent graphs. If the hidden graphs are colored, those colors will not be saved and will return to transparent the next time the VI is opened. Paint the bottom right corner of the decoration to ensure proper coloring of the decoration.
- The shortcut menu of the Waterfall and Octave Waterfall Graph might seem unresponsive when the VI is running. Continual selection of the menu item eventually executes the selection.
- If you write to two UFF58 (universal file format) 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.
- The default value of the reset control in the Order Analysis VIs is now FALSE. The default value in the Order Analysis Toolkit 2.1 or earlier was TRUE.
- You must have LabVIEW 8.2.1 or later installed to view order analysis conceptual topics in the LabVIEW Help. If you do not have LabVIEW 8.2.1 or later installed, you can navigate to the Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\help directory and double-click the lvoatconcepts.chm file to view the order analysis conceptual topics.
- If you have an application that uses the SVT Integration (frequency) VI that shipped with version 2.0 or 3.0 of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit, the application will be broken in this version of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit. The connector pane for the SVT Integration (frequency) VI changed between version 3.0 and version 3.1 of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit. To fix the application, replace the SVT Integration (frequency) VI with the SVL Integration (frequency) VI, located on the Spectrum Extended Measurements palette, and reconnect the input and output terminals.
- A Sound and Vibration Assistant project containing a Run LabVIEW VI step that receives peak or harmonic input data will not properly code generate to LabVIEW. You must convert the peak and harmonic input data in the generated LabVIEW code to the XY data type before you pass the data to the user VI. Use the svc_Convert Array of Peaks to XY Format.vi located in the vi.lib\addons\NISVFA\_Shared subVIs\Common directory to convert the peak or harmonic data to the XY data type.
- The Load from UFF58 Express VI requires an absolute path to the UFF58 file. If you want to generate LabVIEW code from a Sound and Vibration Assistant project that includes the Load from UFF58 step, you must use an absolute path to the UFF58 file. If you do not intend to generate LabVIEW code from a Sound and Vibration Assistant project that includes the Load from UFF58 step, you can use a relative path to the UFF58 file. The path is relative to the location where you saved the Sound and Vibration Assistant project.
- A few Sound and Vibration Toolkit 3.0 example compatability VIs cause errors if you mass compile vi.lib\addons\Sound and Vibration. To prevent these errors, delete the existing SVXMPL_Signal Generation (no HW).vi in the vi.lib\addons\Sound and Vibration\compatibility\Example Support directory. Copy the svx_Signal Generation (no HW).vi from the vi.lib\addons\Sound and Vibration\Example Support\Generation directory to the vi.lib\addons\Sound and Vibration\compatibility\Example Support directory and rename the copied svx_Signal Generation (no HW).vi file to SVXMPL_Signal Generation (no HW).vi.
