Sometimes there is a very clear cause to a problem but it is so obvious that I just don't see it. Sort of like looking all over the place for your glasses when they are on top of your head. Let's put our boneheaded mistakes in this thread. Don't give away the problem and let others report how long it took to spot the issue with a fresh pair of eyes. I have a large project with many classes and many queues. I spent an hour trying to debug an "issue" where one of my loops would keep iterating after a dequeue operation. I tried to find what was enqueuing to it by running the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit. The strangest thing - DETT reported a single enqueue yet the loop kept initializing my device over and over again. I closed LabVIEW and rebooted. Same problem. I was just about to file a bug report (could it have to do with the large number of queues in my application?) when I spotted the problem. How long does it take you to see the problem in this example which demonstrates the nature of the problem? It took me an hour - Doh! And my application has dozens of queues so it's not like I don't know how to use them.

BreakPoint

Altenbach, you sir, are correct! I had made a copy of a U8 constant when writing the code, and didn't realize it until about 20 minutes later!
