Crash in VISA control - LV 8.20

Here is a crash when manipulating a VISA control in a cluster. This crashes LV 8.0.1 and LV 8.20 on Mac OS X (I haven't tested other OSs). Open the attached control "Error OxfordAddress.ctl". Control click (right click) on the VISA control at the bottom and change the VISA class from GPIB to INSTR. LV crashes and quits. Not good!

The work arond is to delete the VISA control and insert a new one. But LV should not crash and possibly lose work. Being reported here for inclusion in the monthly bug list.

One more piece of information. This control was updated from LV 5.1 (?) or maybe LV 6.0 and a PeeCee version directly to LV 8.20 on a Macintosh. It may be the conversion process corrupted it? I did have a front panel insane opject later today. The whole hierarchy had been mass compiled so it was all converted without listing errors.

Hi Sth,

Thank you for pointing this error out. We were able to reproduce it as well. CAR 42UEMLZL has been filed regarding the issue.

Best regards,

Kalin,

Thanks. My job is to be able to get you guys to reproduce it!! I always figure if you can reproduce it you can fix it! It is not always true and I have a few long standing bugs that are "too hard" to fix. But if I can get a reproducible simple example it is MUCH easier.

Thanks again for following up on this.

Cheers,
-Scott

Roy,

I am spending my day following you thru the forums as you correct all the CAR #s!! We need to automate this so that this retyping of CAR #s doesn't get as corrupted as it does.
