LabVIEW 2013 SP1 Quit LabVIEW

Heinrich-Hans — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 07:01:27 GMT

Hello all,

I have a question regarding the Bug 425800 (Quit LabVIEW will not quit if the event 'Application Instance close' is present) in LV2013. According to NI this Bug is fixed in LV2013 SP1.

I have an application, which was converted from LV2011. The application compiled in LV2011 worked well.

After converting to LV2013 I had the issue, that the exe won't quit. I updated to LV2013 SP1 and mass compiled my project. After building the executable again, I have the same issue. My compiled EXE (LV2013 SP1) will not quit.

One VI contain the 'Application Instance close' event, because the PC is connected to an UPS and the application should be terminated in a save way in case of power loss.

Is there any other reason why the 'Quit LabVIEW' will not work?

As a little reminder: The application worked well in LV2011.

Regards

Heinrich Eidloth

Dear Mr Eidloth,

I would like to help you resolve this issue.

Would you mind sending me your program to look into so I can help you better?

Alternatively you could try running the added example to test the functionality of the "Application Instance close" Event and the "Quit LabView" funktion.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best Regards

Veronika Kurz

Hello Mrs. (?) Kurz, thank you for your answer. I will build up a small demo to demonstrate the techniques I am using inside the SW. I cannot send you the sourcecode, because it is a very huge and complex SW. Regards Heinrich Eidloth

Hello Ms. Kurz, attached you will find a little demo, which will give you an idea of how the SW is terminated. As I mentioned in my origina post, the SW was converted from LV2011 to LV2013. In LV 2011 all was working well. In LV2013 the 'quit' isn't working in the bult executable Regards Heinrich Eidloth

Dear Mr. Eidloth,

I tested the program you sent and asserted that it works properly on my computer using LabView 2013 SP 1.

Now my question: Did you modify any settings?

Would it be possible for you to send me the MAX-Report?

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Heinrich-Hans — Thu, 03 Apr 2014 11:56:50 GMT

Hello Ms. Kurz,

no, I didn't change any settings. I only mass compiled the project.

What do you mean with MAX-Report (uups)?

Regards

Hello Mr. Eidloth,

you can find the Report in the National Instruments Measurement and Automation Explorer (short MAX).

If you can't find it on your desctop open the Explorer and browse C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\MAX.

Open the MAX -> File -> Generate Protocol (or something along the lines of it, I am sorry but I had to translated it from the German version so I´m not exactly sure) ->Continue -> Protocol for technical support -> Continue -> Choose a path for the file ->Generate.

Please don´t hesitate to ask further questions.

Regards

Dear Mr Eidloth,

did you get any error messages while building the exe?

Heinrich-Hans — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 06:36:14 GMT

Good morning Ms. Kurz,

no, I got no error messages during the build process. The build completed without any errors.

The exe also starts without any problems and works as expected. Until I shutdown the exe.

Hello Mr. Eidloth,

Thank you for your answer.

Are you able to run your code in LabView 2013 directly (without putting it into an executable)?

This will help me see if the problem is in the build process that doesn´t throw an error.

Regards.

Mr. Eidloth,

I was able to successfully run the Exe on LV 2013 SP1 in English. Do you also use LabView in the English version?

Regards

Heinrich-Hans — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 08:53:17 GMT

Hello Ms. Kurz, I can run the Software in the Development System. No problems. If I put a 'Quit LabVIEW' at the end of the shutdown process, LabVIEW will quit (as expected). Yes, I'm using LV2013 SP1 English. Regards Heinrich Eidloth

Hello Mr. Eidloth,

thank you for your reply.

After talking with a colleague about your case I have following suggestion:

If possible install LabView 2013 SP1 with the drivers you need on a reference computer, that is free of any NI-Software and try building and running the executable again. We fear that the problem might lie with an interference of a previous version of LabView that disrupts the successful performance of your exe.

Please keep me updated about your progress.

Regards.

Hello Ms. Kurz, just for your information: The PC I'm using, is a 'freshly installed' one. No previous LV version was installed before. I did a test on a virtual machine (WinXP SP3, LV2013 SP1). The exe built on the virtual machine gave me the same result. The exe works properly, until I shutdown the program (no quitting). In the next days, I will setup a new virtual machine and will repeat the test. Regards Heinrich Eidloth

Hello Mr. Eidloth,

I´m very sorry but the Max-Report shows differently. Please try again to reinstall LabView.

Please excuse the inconvenience but right now we have to locate the exact source of the problem.

With kind regards.
