DSC alarms are blinking when they shouldn't

[Brian_Beal]

I have a bunch of shared variables on my front panel.  Some of them have alarming enabled, with the option to blink when alarming.  I programmatically disable all alarms at startup of the VI, but some of them blink when there is a value of zero for the variable.  Anything above zero causes the blinking to stop.  It even does it for a variable that I disabled the alarming for, using the shared variable properties.  I can use the "Read Alarms" vi, and there is nothing being reported.

Hi Brian,

Couple of questions - what version of LV and DSC are you using? How are you having your shared variables set up to blink? It sounds like there is some other factor than the alarm that is triggering the blinking since Read Alarms doesn't have anything AND you have alarming turned off and they are still blinking. I would suggest either 1) deleting and re-adding your variables in case something became corrupt or there is some other underlying alarm that is causing the blinking or 2) get rid of the blinking feature, ensure the variables work correctly, and then add it back one at a time to check to see where the problem is. You could also post your code for myself or others to take a look at and possibly find the problem. Thanks!
