Measurement Studio 8.6.1 Known Issues
PrintOverview
This document contains the Measurement Studio 8.6.1 known issues that were discovered before and since the release of Measurement Studio 8.6.1. Not every issue known to NI will appear on this list; it is intended to only show the severe and more common issues that can be encountered.
Each Issue appears as a row in the table and includes these fields:
- Issue ID - the number in at the top of each of the cells in the first column. When you report an issue to NI, you may be given this ID, you can also find IDs posted by NI on the discussion forums or in Knowledge Base articles.
- Legacy ID (optional) - If an issue has a legacy ID from NI's legacy/deprecated bug reporting database, you will see it appear on a separate line directly below the Issue ID in the table, or to the right of the Issue ID in the table of contents (separated by a space).
- Issue Title: in italics - it describes the issue in one sentence or less
- Problem Description - a few sentences which describe the problem in further detail. The brief description given does not necessarily describe the problem in full detail, and it is expected that you might want more information on an issue. If you would like more information on an issue feel free to contact NI (contact information below) and reference the ID number given in the document.
- Workaround - possible ways to work around the problem. The workarounds that appear in the document are not always tested by NI and are not guaranteed to resolve the issue. If a workaround refers you to the NI KnowledgeBase, please visit www.ni.com/kb/ and enter that KB number in the search field to locate the specific document.
- Reported Version - the earliest version of Measurement Studio the issue was reported in. If you discover the issue appears in an earlier version of Measurement Studio than is reported in this field, you can report that to NI (contact information below) to have the field updated.
- Resolved Version - version the issue was resolved or was no longer applicable. If an issue has not been resolved "N/A" will be reported.
- Date Added - the date the issue was added to the document (not the reported date).
Document Organization
The Known Issues Document is divided into two separate tables appearing in two separate Developer Zone documents. The known issues in this document are organized by the category of issue, and sorted by the date the issue was added to the document (not necessarily the date the issue was reported to NI). This table is recommended for use in helping determine if an issue has been reported to us, and is also recommended for users wanting to skim the document to learn of potential issues they may face with Measurement Studio 8.6.1 during development. If an issue has multiple categories, it will appear multiple times in this document. To view the issues organized by date, visit the document linked below:
Known Issues by Date
Contacting NI

Writing a single value to the same TDMS File channel group property, then writing to two different channels, and then saving the file in between a write to two channels can corrupt the channel group property. If you set the same TDMS channel group property to the same value in between writes to two or more channels and save, the data written is corrupted. Workaround: Do not write the same value to the same property twice.
|
|||||
| 127687 Return |

Network variable performance decreases when machines hosting the reader, writer, and variables are mixed between Logos and LogosXT. Logos is the National Instruments proprietary protocol for inter-process communication that is used by NI-Publish Subscribe Protocol ( psp:). Performance is especially degraded when the writer and network variable host use LogosXT and the reader that attempts to read the network variable uses Logos. This issue occurs for all reader classes.Workaround: For optimum performance, National Instruments recommends that all machines accessing network variables, including the machine that hosts the variable, should use LogosXT. If using LogosXT on all machines is not possible, you should disable LogosXT. You disable LogosXT by adding a DWORD value named DisablePSPXT to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LogosXT and setting its value to 1. If you must use a mix of Logos versions, you can reduce the performance loss by using Variable Manager. Use Variable Manager to configure a sufficiently large server-side buffer for the network variable.

The wrappers that Visual C++ generates for the Measurement Studio ActiveX controls are incomplete. Visual C++ generates wrappers only for the top-level objects in the controls.

Dotted lines in ActiveX controls are printed as solid lines in some cases. GDI draws the dotted lines as solid if the width of the line is greater than 1. While printing a control, a metafile is created which normally involves scaling of the control and consequently scaling of the width of the line. This makes the width of the line greater than 1 and the print will have a solid line instead of a dotted line. Workaround: There are two workaround options:

Network variable performance decreases when machines hosting the reader, writer, and variables are mixed between Logos and LogosXT. Logos is the National Instruments proprietary protocol for inter-process communication that is used by NI-Publish Subscribe Protocol ( psp:). Performance is especially degraded when the writer and network variable host use LogosXT and the reader that attempts to read the network variable uses Logos. This issue occurs for all reader classes.Workaround: For optimum performance, National Instruments recommends that all machines accessing network variables, including the machine that hosts the variable, should use LogosXT. If using LogosXT on all machines is not possible, you should disable LogosXT. You disable LogosXT by adding a DWORD value named DisablePSPXT to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LogosXT and setting its value to 1. If you must use a mix of Logos versions, you can reduce the performance loss by using Variable Manager. Use Variable Manager to configure a sufficiently large server-side buffer for the network variable.
