10 KNOWN ISSUES
Users should be aware of the following issues:
1. Labview can get into a strange state when an application fails or is stopped. This appears in two
forms:
a) When attempting to re-run an application or run a different application, Labview terminates.
b) When an application hangs or fails, Labview starts to close but ends up in a minimal state that
can only be cleared by using Task Manager to kill Labview.
2. When launching a VI by means of an executable, the VI starts to execute before the user can type
an application name. Cancelling the selection of the hardware results in a notification of failure to
load the application. The application name can now be given and the VI started manually.
3. The pre-built tasks must be allocated enough memory. Failure to do so will result in the
application hanging. Details of the required memory can be found in doc/*.txt in the smt6045
installation directory.
4. The current release does not support logging.
5. Host output port numbers are allocated sequentially from top to bottom of the Host task, starting at
1. Host input port numbers are allocated in the same manner.
