Known Issue

Building and Distributing LabVIEW Applications 245294 Return WSN Target VIs with long disk paths fail to build. Workaround: Move the WSN Target VI to a location with a shorter path and rebuild the WSN application. Reported Version: 2010 275744 Return Workaround: Move the WSN Target VI outside of the library and rebuild the WSN Application. Reported Version: 2010 Functions, VIs, and Express VIs 304873 Return Workaround: Connect a User RAM Reference to the User RAM Property Node Reported Version: 2011 310618 Return WSN Target VIs cannot read time below 1 second resolution. Workaround: N/A Resolved Version: N/A Added: 12/02/2011 Unwired User RAM Property Node shows "No Properties". When using a User RAM Property Node configured for WSN User RAM reference type but with no User RAM Reference wired to it the node does not display any available properties. Resolved Version: N/A Added: 12/02/2011 Resolved Version: N/A Added: 12/02/2011

Unable to build WSN Target VIs contained within a library (.lvlib). Placing a WSN Target VI inside a library (.lvlib) causes the VI to generate build errors.

Reported Version: 2010 316141 Return Workaround: N/A Reported Version: 2011 LabVIEW Project 177272 Return Closing a LabVIEW WSN project does not close the LabVIEW WSN VI Workaround: Close the WSN VI manually. Reported Version: 1.0 310530 Return

Resolved Version: N/A

Added: 12/02/2011

Shared Variable Write function with User RAM Reference can cause WSN Node to crash. In a WSN target VI using a Shared Variable Write function with User RAM Reference can cause the WSN Node to crash if the reference has become invalid.
