Ahh. Your last explaination helped a lot. I now understand and was able to duplicate your behavior, once. I ran the program probably 10 times, and once i did get the issue that you were noticing.
I am not sure what is casuing this, temporary network disruption, lost packet?? Once I restarted the vi it worked as expecteda gain, but I am not sure what caused it.
You might wanbt to contact NI customer service directly or sumbit a bug report.
