missing attribute ID list in function panel

[ebalci]

Hi,

I am using the NI-SCOPE driver in one of my CVI programs. I included the .fp file (niscope.fp) in my project.

When I want to use a function to Set/Get/Check an attribute of any kind (int, real, bool, etc..) I face a function panel with missing parameter IDs.

Attached is a example from niScope_CheckAttributeViReal64 function panel.

Is this normal?

Or does it mean corrupted .fp file, or is it because I do not have the hardware connected to my development machine, or other reason ??

Hi,

I have not seen this behavior before.  What version of LabWindows/CVI are you using?  What version of the NI-Scope driver do you have installed?  In the same directory that the niScope.fp file is located there is also a file named niScope.sub.  This file must be present in order for the attributes to populate - is this file present in the directory?  Correcting this issue may require a reinstallation of the driver and CVI support if there is indeed a corruption of one of the files.

Hello Andrew,

It was the .sub files. I didn't know their purpose.
I copied the niscope.fp file (and some other necessary fp files) to my application folder.
I do not like to have file in my project outside the project directory.

But I did not copy the SUBs. So that's what they are used for, huh? 🙂

Thanks very much.
