GENERIC I/O Error

[ighnatios]

Dear All,

I have a vi file that is showing Generic I/O Error and not opening most probable due to size since I tried to insert a photo in.

Can anyone help in opening this .vi?

Hi ighnatios,

I get a "(Hex 0x2A) Generic Error" when trying to open this VI with LV2019…

Why don't you checkout an older version of this VI from your SCC (Source Code Control) tool?

Or even look for in a backup of your code?

You likely went outside of the panel or block diagram bounds then (which is still decently large).  As GerdW stated, go back to your SCC or backup.

Dear GerdW,

This file is created using LV2013.

My backup file (latest version) is days ago without some new modifications which I am trying to re-capture

Lessons learned:

• Backup more often.
• Simplify backups by setting up a SCC tool
• Get a revision history for free when using a SCC tool…

SCC makes it so easy to back up that every time I make a change that I don't want to lose, I commit.
