Hi Mike,

It would be best if you can post a vi that shows this behavior.  Thanks.

I posted up the .llb on the first page, but heres an updated version.  let me know if theres something else you need because this does require the device to start.

Hello Mike,

There are a few questions that I have after looking through your code.  When running your code I am not seeing the same issue that has been documented in the CAR.  I have attached a VI that demonstrates how the cursor will actually go a considerable amount to the left of the actual peak.  Can you verify that this is not the results that you are getting in your code?  The one thing that I did notice that I was not sure if you were referring to or not was that when you do move the cursor manually with the mouse it is very slightly to the left of the mouse cursor but you can still move the cursor to the exact peak.  Is this what you were referring to?  If so is there a specific reason why this would be a problem in your code or is this just a preference that you have?  This will help me determine how to document this issue.  I can either submit a Corrective Action Request if it is a specific bug to your program but if it is a preference then it may be best to submit as a product suggestion.  

Please just let me know which of these issues with the cursor you are having.  If you think that you are experiencing something different than I am please just let me know and give me any more details that you can.

Hi Bob,

Actually that Vi demonstrates very closely what is happening.  The VI you provided is very jumpy and glitchy, but besides that, the cursor placement is very similar.  It often goes to the left once the cursor is moved (not just when clicked) and sometimes can be closer to the correct placement if selected from further to the left of the line.  Besides always jumping back to the midpoint on your VI, I would say that is what is occuring.

Thanks

Mike

Thanks

Hello Mike,

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner.  I was continuing to research this issue in order to determine the cause.  The VI from my previous post was listed in the Corrective Action Request that was mentioned previously.  When I open up the VI that you have posted here I am not able to see an issue with moving the cursors and having them "snap" to the left like the VI that I posted.  If both the VI that you posted and the VI the I posted exhibit the same behavior for you then I believe to work around would be to change the Cursor.PosX to Cursor.Index.  However, you mentioned that you tried this and it still exhibits the same behavior. 

Is there a possibility that you could post a screen shot of what you are experiencing when you run your program?  If possible, try to move the cursor with your mouse and when you release the mouse and the cursor "snaps" to the left of where your mouse is then use the print screen button without moving your mouse from the location that you released from.  This will give me an accurate description of the behavior that I can take to R&D and determine why the error is occurring.

I do apologize for the inconvenience that this behavior has caused.  It sounds like the issue that has already been documented to R&D but if the "fix" does not work then it could be a completely different issue that needs to be documented in order to be resolved in future versions.  I look forward to hearing back from you!

I did try to provide a screenshot, but the prnt screen does remove the mouse.  The original screen shot shows where the mouse is located (pink)  The cursor snaps to the left not when first clicked on, but when moved to either side or when moved by the peak detector.

 

If I go back to the original driver, this problem did not exist.

So I beleive it is a modification done to the driver.

Thanks

 EDIT: If it help this exhibited the same issues in both 8.5 and 8.6

I will tryt o get a video of it, but I am in the process of getting a screen recorder

Hopefully it lets you upload .avi

But you can see its only when moved that it snaps and how if clicked slightly to the left it actually goes the the correct spot.
