Problem building/deploying when using Point by Point filters

[sciencewhiz]

I've been playing around with some of the filters in the Signal Processing -> Point By Point -> Filters PtByPt. They work fine when running the program in ram.

However, when I try to build the project, it takes a very long time to build (instead of 2 minutes normally, it takes closer to 20 minutes). During the build process, I see all kinds of esoteric mathematical/signal procesing type VIs being built. It seems that there are many dependencies that only gets pulled in when built, and not when run in ram.

Additionally, when I try to deploy newly built program, it doesn't work. I get the following result.

Any ideas?

Hey sciencewhiz,

I wanted to give you an update on this. I've reproduced this issue and I will be working on it more throughout the day. I'll give you another update when I have more.

Sorry about the troubles

I noticed the same problem!

take a look at my thread:

http://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/2087

in my last post I diagnosed the same problem, after a harsh seek for causes.

I think it's a problem with all filters. Not using them would make traction control and accelerometer noise reduction a lot harder.

This has been escalated to R&D and they have been investigating it. So far we might have a work around for you: If you open the build spec, visit the page for exclusions, and check the option to remove unused members from project Libraries, your build time should return to reasonable times.

Sorry for the troubles, I will give you an update when I have more information.

Using the workaround, I was able to succesfully build and deploy.

Are the filters are working?
