Broken links in code interface node

[davida2000]

It appears that some of the links in a number of my code interface nodes are broken. For example, if you right click on the CIN the “Reload Code Resource”, “Reload Code Resource From”, and “Purge Bad Code Resource” options are all grayed out and disabled. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?

Hi David,

That is interesting. Would you kindly post the .lsb file that you are using and I'll see what it looks like on my machine?

Which version of LabVIEW are you using?

Thanks,

Hello Sam,

Thank you for the reply.

I am using LabVIEW 8.2 I have attached a copy of the .lsb file for your consideration.

It is important to note that if I start a new “blank” VI, create a Code Interface Node (CIN), and load the CIN using “Load Code Resource” everything works fine. However, if I do the exact same procedure on my existing VI I get the problem reported and illustrated in my original post. The symptoms seam to indicate that some kind of link was established in the original VI that somehow is broken. It appears to try to be using a reference that it can not resolve. Is there a way to force a VI to disregard any established links and reload all .lsb files used by the VI?

Thanks again for your help

Hi David,

Unfortunately, I am getting an error message upon opening that .llb file that says "File is not a resource file", and I am unable to open it.

Might it be possible to simply delete and recreate the CINs?

[davida2000]

Deleting and recreating all of the CINs would be a time consuming but workable solution. The problem is that my VI has grown rather large and complex and there are CINs throughout the VI. Is there a way of finding all the CINs in a VI to make sure you do not miss any (similar to the find all instances option for a VI)?

Thanks again

Yes - Select Edit»Find and Replace. Then, next to "Select Object", click on the icon and browse on the functions palette and connectivity»libraries and executables » code interface node, and then click Find.
