"Find the VI Named "SIM Diagram Parameters.ctl"

[Rodnebb]

I have a application that runs on a cFP-2120.

Recently I have started to get a "problem": every first time I run the program, either from the pc (on the RT target) or try to compile it to deploy, LV starts looking for a set of objects called "SIM something". When I select "ignore item" for all these objects, the program starts, apparantly normally.

I am interested in knowing the following:

- How do I find out which vi it is that causes this behaviour? In this case I found the suspect vi by systematically removing vi's, but are there any better solutions?

- If these vi's are necessary, why can I run my program at all? I've excersised the code with my new solver vi's - shouldn't it crash if it doesn't find all vi's?. I'm assuming that this search for components put me at risk for unexpected crashes.

- I've only used vi's from LV's palette - is it common that you get only partial packages installed?

- Finally, most importantly: How can I find out what more I need to install?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried doing a find, either for the vi itself, or for a text string like "SIM Diagram"?

[Rodnebb]

Yes, I have searched the entire NI folder in program files.

These error messages disappear for a while if I save the entire program package under another path (Save as.. /Duplicate Hierarchy in New location).

[JohnBoy]

Yes, but if you do a <CTRL/F> on the front panel, and include sub vi's, you may locate the code in question, which may well be sourced from another folder. Try looking for text, too.

I have the same problem.

(I've learned to accept it though)

It started when I upgraded to 8.2.1 from 8.20

Do you not have the following file on the PC?

<INSTALL DRIVE>:\Program Files\National Instruments\<LabVIEW Version>\vi.lib\simulation\Implementation\Shared\SIM Continuous Solvers.ctl

I checked in LV 8.2.1 and 8.5 and have the a slew of items in that directory and specifically have the file in your error message.

In 8.0, I do not have the simulation directory at all.

[Rodnebb]

I have that directory, and there are som SIM vi's there, but .. no SIM Continous solvers.ctl

I also have this problem, but it cant' find several SIM related VIs.  Any clue how to get rid of this.  I can't find any SIM related vis used in my code.
