VIs .log file ?

[jean-luc]

I have ported a project that was written in 1997 with LabView 4.1.1
to labview 5.0

Its working, but have some questions about a .log file

- by running, its asking for a .log file
you have to point to the log file

-during execution, the msg box
"log file incompatible with VI front panel" appears

But the application is working anyway.

Somebody knows how to get away from this log files messages ?

Bonjour Jean-Luc,

Try going to File>>Log at Completion, and be sure that is turned off. Somewhere, you have a VI that has logging turned on, and I bet that the logs from then are not compatible with the new version of LabVIEW.

It WILL take a manual search on your part. The VI Hierarchy, an incredibly useful tool, doesn't have that capability (yet?).

Good luck

*This works with LabVIEW5.1, not sure about 5.0...*

It doesn't have to be done manually. Make a VI that does it for you.

Use the property "Get All VI's In Memory", from "Application". Then make a
for loop, that opens a reference to every vi ("Open VI Reference"), read the
"AutoLog.AtFinish" p
roperty, close the reference. Create an indicator with
all the VI Names and the Autolog property. You'll get a nice list of all the
VI's.

This can even be modified to change the AutoLog.AtFinish and save all the
VI's automatically.

Wiebe.
