or is it a known problem, also is more info available
for this free ware program, Best Wishes

Hi,
where are you writing to this tag from (LabVIEW DSC, Lookout etc)?
What is the tag for (plc etc)?
When it hangs, how do you get it back? - Reboot, Restart server explorer.
Since you said "is this a fault in my server" what happens to the tag in that server - is it still running OK? What's the server?
The help file which should have installed into your Program Files\National Instruments\shared\server explorer directory is the best source for information on how to use the server explorer.

If you can provide some more information on this, that would be helpful.

Thanks

Hey! I am having some difficulties involving server exploerer also.

I have a labview program which runs on several isolated systems. I made an Update to one system and was copying the program over to my other systems. When I got an unspecified item, error can not load modbus 126. I have tried a few different methods in solving this problem. One Solution is to replace the updated programs .ccdb file. Now I wasn't sure if this would have an effect on the rest of the program and was still interested in how these files varied, so I investaged a little further and found if I uploaded my updated program and then ran Server Explorer connecting and simply connect to the server. Then from that point on the updated program would work.

I find this very strange, does any one know why this would work?

Off hand, I am not sure why running the Server Explorer would cause your application to suddenly work. It sounds like everything is up and running now, but if you would like to investigate this issue further I would be glad to help.

The next step would be to create a very simple example program that demonstrates the problem; at that point, you could attach this example code to a post and I could attempt to reproduce the issue on my end (and report to R&D if necessary). Have a great day!
