Create Notifier.vi is missing; is this not supported anymore?

[ronrodrig57]

What happened to Create Notifier.vi? It must have been used at one time, is it no longer supported? What should substitute?

Hello ron44rodriguez:

What version of LabVIEW are you using?
In LV 7.1, there is an "Obtain Modifier" at "Advanced"->"Synchronization"->"Notifier Operations"
I think it has similar function of what you had in mind.

I hope that this helps....

Hi Debonair, thanks, I'm using 7.1 and, looking at the notifiers, I see that the Obtain Notifier.vi is a sort of replacement, however, I'll have to rework the other notifiers that exist. That would be OK, however, I don't own this very large vi- it is used by a bunch of people, and I'm not supposed to modify it without some consequence. I find it surprising that a non-supported vi would simply also disappear from a saved vi. What's going on here? I bring in copies of this large vi, hoping that their saved versions would include this old vi, but alas, no luck(I do this with no LabView running). ronrodrig57

Hello ron44rodriguez:

Hmmm.... sounds like a very difficult task for you.
I think that "Obtain Modifier" is somewhat compatible with "Create Modifier", assuming that they have the same name and data type that was used, but not yet sure about that.
What was the LabVIEW version that they used? What are the other vi's that are missing?
I hope that I can help you more.

Good Luck....

Sounds like the saved file didn't have the "vi.lib" VIs included. Shame on those who were working on it before.

The best option is to continue programming the VI in the LabVIEW version ti was initially programmed in. Or at least open it in the original version and THEN save with "vi.lib" included.....

Hope this helps

Shane.

Hello ron44rodriguez,

The queue and notifier VIs were improved in LabVIEW 6.1 to become polymorphic and accept more data types than just strings. Please see the link below for more information on the change as well as a compatibility library available for download.

Replacement for LabVIEW 6.1 queue.llb and notifier.llb
