Missing prototype for UnWrap1d

[KON_rds]

When running my code base in CVI 5.5, i use the fucntions UnWrap1d and LinFit from analysis.h.  In the new CVI 8.0, I am trying to run the same code base, but I receive a missing prototype error.  I look in the help and it states that CVI 8.0 should support the Unwrap1d functionality.

I also compared the analysis.h from CVI 5.5 and CVI 8.0 (not the same). 

Is there some way to fix this?  or is there a new and improved function in CVI 8.0?

Thank you.

Hello KON_rds,

Those functions should be present in the Advanced Analysis for both CVI 5.5 and CVI 8.0. Are you sure that you have an FDS version of CVI 8.0 installed ("Full Development System"). If you have a base version of CVI installed, then you don't have the Advanced Analysis library, and those functions would not be present.

A quick way of checking is to look in the library tree or the Library menu, and see if it says "Analysis" or "Advanced Analysis". You should also check the comment at the top of analysis.h for "analysis" vs. "advanced analysis".

So my install CDs say Base Development System.  I need the functionality from the Advanced Analysis, but I don't want to wait for the order to go through management, is there any way I can just download the needed files?

Hi KON_rds,

Just as Luis mentioned, the UnWrap1d and LinFit functions are part of the Advanced Analysis Library that ships with the Full Development System of LabWindows/CVI. 

Now to address your current situation, here is what I would do. 

First, contact management and let them know you need the Full Development System of LabWindows/CVI.

In the meantime, download the evaluation software of LabWindows/CVI off the web. This evaluation software is the Full Development System version of LabWindows/CVI and thus you will have the Advanced Analysis Library.  This evaluation license is for 30 days which should give your management time to contact us. Also note that you can simply activate the software you downloaded after you get a valid license from us. 

Now of course, there  are limitations with the evaluation software which is described in the What Are the Limitations of the Evaluation Version of LabWindows/CVI? KnowledgeBase and the LabWindows/CVI Evaluation Guide (Chapter 2) which goes into great detail about the limitations. The one gotcha that most people encounter is that after you activate LabWindows/CVI, you must rebuild any projects you created in evaluation mode. If you do not rebuild a project you created in evaluation mode, the project will continue to have a 10-minute run-time timeout. 

Anyway, I would press on management to contact us.

Best Regards,
