Measurement Studio 8.1.2 for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Readme

Measurement Studio 8.1.2 includes separate, parallel sets of class libraries, integration features, and support documentation for developing with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005.

This readme documents Measurement Studio support for Visual Studio .NET 2003. Refer to the readme on the Measurement Studio Support for Visual Studio 6.0 CD for information about Visual Studio 6.0 support. You can install support for both Visual Studio .NET 2003 and support for Visual Studio 6.0 on the same machine. However, you must install the support to separate directories.

This section describes new features that have been introduced in Measurement Studio since version 8.1.1.

Legend Control Scrollbars

For more information, refer to Using the Measurement Studio Windows Forms Legend .NET Control or Using the Measurement Studio Web Forms Legend .NET Control in the NI Measurement Studio Help.

WYSIWYG Editing of Labels with Engineering Formatting in Measurement Studio User Interface Controls

This feature is enabled by default for new Measurement Studio controls you add to your project. You can enable this feature for existing Measurement Studio controls in your project by checking the WYSIWYG Editing check box in the Numeric Format Mode Editor dialog box. You access the Numeric Format Mode Editor dialog box for the numeric edit control and the numeric edit array control by selecting the FormatMode property on the Property Pages for the control. You access the Numeric Format Mode Editor dialog box for the numeric pointer controls and the axes of the graph controls by selecting the EditRangeNumericFormatMode property in the Property Pages for the control.

Programmatic Parsing of Strings with Engineering Formatting

Measurement Studio support for Visual Studio 6.0 will now require you to run only one installer instead of an initial installation and an updater installer. Measurement Studio's Visual Studio 6.0 support also includes support for Microsoft Windows Vista.

Measurement Studio 8.1.2 includes analysis code snippets in the documentation that can be copied and pasted into an application and used immediately. The following classes include new example code snippets:

• CurveFit
• ArrayOperations
• Digital Filters—Bessel, Butterworth, and Chebyshev
• Statistics
  

For more information about what's new in Measurement Studio 8.1.2, refer to the What's New in Measurement Studio section of the NI Measurement Studio Help.

Installing Measurement Studio 8.1.2

To use Measurement Studio, your computer must have the following:

• Microsoft Windows XP/2000
• Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (required only for the Measurement Studio .NET class libraries)
• Standard, Professional, Enterprise Developer, Enterprise Architect, or Academic edition of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
• Intel Pentium III class processor, 1 GHz or higher
• Video display—1024 × 768, 256 colors (16-bit color recommended for user interface controls)
• Minimum of 256 MB of RAM (512 MB or higher recommended)
• Minimum of 405 MB of free hard disk space
• Microsoft-compatible mouse
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
  

Installation Instructions

National Instruments recommends that you exit all programs before running the Measurement Studio installer. Applications that run in the background, such as virus scanning utilities, might cause the installer to take longer than average to complete.

National Instruments recommends that you install the complete Measurement Studio program. If you perform a custom installation and do not install all the Measurement Studio features, you can run the installation program again later to install additional features.

Note    The option to browse for an installation location is valid only if you have not already installed any Measurement Studio features for the version of Visual Studio or the .NET Framework that you are installing. If you have any Measurement Studio features installed, then Measurement Studio installs to the same root directory to which you installed other Measurement Studio features.

Installing the Current Version of Measurement Studio over Previous Versions of Measurement Studio

If you install a newer version of Measurement Studio on a machine that has a prior version of Measurement Studio installed, the newer version installer replaces the prior version functionality, including class libraries. However, the prior version assemblies remain in the global assembly cache (GAC); therefore, applications that reference the prior version continue to use the prior version .NET assemblies.

Note    This does not apply to NationalInstruments.Common.dll. NationalInstruments.Common.dll uses a publisher policy file to redirect applications to always use the newest version of NationalInstruments.Common.dll installed on the system, for each version of the .NET Framework. NationalInstruments.Common.dll is backward-compatible.

For assistance in getting started with Measurement Studio 8.1.2, refer to the Measurement Studio Overview and the Getting Started with the Measurement Studio Class Libraries topics in the NI Measurement Studio Help or refer to the Measurement Studio User Manual and the Measurement Studio Release Notes. You can launch the NI Measurement Studio Help in the following ways:

• From the Windows Start menu, select Start»All Programs»National Instruments»Measurement Studio for Visual Studio .NET 2003»Measurement Studio Documentation. The help launches in a stand-alone help viewer.
• From Visual Studio, select Help»Contents to view the Visual Studio table of contents. The NI Measurement Studio Help is listed in the table of contents.
• From Visual Studio, select Measurement Studio»NI Measurement Studio Help. The help launches within the application.
  

To get started creating a Measurement Studio project using class library and application templates, open Visual Studio and select File»New» Project to launch the New Project dialog box. In the Project Types pane, expand the Measurement Studio Projects folder and select the Projects folder for the language you want to create the program in. Then, in the Templates pane, select the type of project you want to create.

For information about deploying applications built with Measurement Studio 8.1.2, refer to Deploying Measurement Studio Applications in the NI Measurement Studio Help.

Note    Measurement Studio support for Visual Studio .NET 2003 does not support redistributing applications to Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0.

Bug Fixes in Measurement Studio 8.1.2

For a complete list of incompatibilities in Measurement Studio with previous versions of Measurement Studio and otherwise supported features, including a list of obsoleted members and members that have been changed to sealed override or non-virtual, refer to the Measurement Studio Incompatibilities topic in the NI Measurement Studio Help.

• 4CN6TVBU: In Measurement Studio 8.1.2 and later, when you add a new annotation programmatically, the control assigns the annotation a unique name, in the format of Annotation-n, where n is a number. In previous versions of Measurement Studio, the control finds the lowest n that yields a name that is not the same as the name of another annotation in the collection. In Measurement Studio 8.1.2 and later, the control finds the lowest n that is greater than or equal to the number of items in the collection.
  For example, consider the scenario where you have a collection that has two annotations, named Annotation-2 and Annotation-3, and you add an annotation. In previous versions of Measurement Studio, the name of the added annotation is Annotation-1. In Measurement Studio 8.1.2 and later, the name of the added annotation is Annotation-4.

You can go through the wizard successfully, and the new DAQ task is added to your project.
• 3NIAKPK5: The Measurement Studio Instrument Driver Wizard produces non-compiling Visual Basic code for P/Invoke methods that have a void return type.
  

.NET Class Libraries Known Issues

• 4CLI5R3Q: Upgrading to Measurement Studio 8.1.2 may cause the Analysis library to produce numerical differences in floating point results and different results for exceptional inputs, such as positive or negative infinity and NaN. These differences may occur because the underlying C Analysis library has been recompiled in Measurement Studio 8.1.2 to take advantage of new processors and operating systems.
• 3OU62J9Q: You cannot use Measurement Studio class libraries in 64-bit applications. You can, however, use Measurement Studio class libraries in 32-bit applications and run those applications on Vista x64, provided that all drivers you use in the applications support Vista x64.
• 2TSHI79Q: National Instruments has designed the VisaNS API as a custom, optimized .NET interface to NI-VISA.
• 2Q9A0503: Under some circumstances, plots with data that extend outside the plot area are clipped incorrectly. As a result, part of the plot is not drawn. Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem with clipping in the .NET Framework.
• 3AEERJQ6: If you copy and paste Measurement Studio user interface .NET controls from one instance of Visual Studio .NET 2003 to another instance of Visual Studio .NET 2003, an unlicensed exception is thrown and the second instance of Visual Studio .NET 2003 shuts down in thirty seconds. You can copy and paste Measurement Studio UI controls from one project to another within the same instance of Visual Studio .NET 2003 without receiving the unlicensed exception.
• 39R92Q9Q: If your project references NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms, but does not reference the assemblies it depends on, there are circumstances in which the Windows Forms Designer will stop drawing the controls. This occurs when the Windows Forms Designer re-parses its generated code and is unable to resolve references to types that are in the assemblies that NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms depends on. To fix this problem, add project references to NationalInstruments.UI and NationalInstruments.Common. Measurement Studio does this for you automatically, so you will see this issue only if you disable Measurement Studio integration features in Visual Studio.
  

Visual C++ Class Libraries Known Issues

• 3OU62J9Q: You cannot use Measurement Studio class libraries in 64-bit applications. You can, however, use Measurement Studio class libraries in 32-bit applications and run those applications on Vista x64, provided that all drivers you use in the applications support Vista x64.
• 3Q2AK93P: The Analysis library now calls the LoadLibrary function. Under most circumstances, it is unsafe to call LoadLibrary inside DllMain. Therefore, avoid calling any analysis functions inside DllMain.
• 2VJIONX0: If you have created a Visual C++ Console Application and are linking statically to MFC, you may encounter LNK2005 and LNK1169 errors. This problem happens when MFC static libraries and CRT static libraries link in the wrong order. To correct this problem, ensure that the #include statement is the first include statement in the generated stdafx.h header file. For more information, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 148652.
• 2ZEE6I9Q: In Visual C++, the Measurement Studio 8.1.2 implementation of windowless controls is not compatible with the MFC ActiveX control container. Measurement Studio controls do not paint correctly when you set the Windowless property to true. You can work around this issue using a helper class to implement the appropriate dialog, SDI, or MDI function. For more information, refer to National Instruments KnowledgeBase Article 2ZFF2AXL.
• 3LI9DC56: In Visual C++, if you have Measurement Studio windowless controls and any windowed controls together on an MFC dialog box, tabbing through the dialog box skips all windowless controls.
• 2YFFDK03: In Visual C++, the property browser does not handle ActiveX controls correctly. National Instruments recommends you use the property pages to modify Measurement Studio controls in the Visual C++ resource editor. To access the property pages, right-click a Measurement Studio Visual C++ control and select Properties.
• 2HR8MFYQ: Measurement Studio Visual C++ controls do not support being hosted in HTML dialogs. HTML dialogs use the CDHtmlDialog base class.
• 2IC7BO63: In Visual C++, the wrappers that Visual C++ generates for the Measurement Studio ActiveX controls are incomplete. Visual C++ generates wrappers only for the top-level objects in the controls. This causes some Visual C++ generated wrappers to produce compile errors. Refer to National Instruments KnowledgeBase Article 2IECTLXL for more information and suggested workarounds.
• 2HLFT4LT: LabVIEW Real-Time DLLs you create with the Measurement Studio LabVIEW Real-Time Interface class library work only with the LabVIEW RT software 6.0 and later.
• 2ZGK8P9Q: LabVIEW Real-Time 6.1 and later does not support the 7030 LabVIEW Real-Time Series processor board. You can continue to use this board with the Measurement Studio LabVIEW Real-Time Interface class library if you are using a version of LabVIEW Real-Time prior to version 6.1.
• 2HLFT4LT: If you download a VI to a LabVIEW RT Series processor board that calls into a DLL that uses the Measurement Studio LabVIEW RT class library, you must reference MStudio Shared Memory.vi from your VI. The LvRTDLL example, located at Program Files\National Instruments\\VCNET\Examples\LVRealTime\LvRTDLL , demonstrates how to do this operation.
  

Documentation Known Issues

• 44BCUIHW: Using Measurement Studio Help for Visual Studio 2003 and browsing to some sub-elements while logged in as a limited user in Windows Vista causes an install dialog to appear. This issue is fixed by allowing MSDN to repair itself when prompted.
• 40SF8MWN: Measurement Studio Visual C++ properties that are defined by get and set methods do not show help in the Object Browser. Refer to the NI Measurement Studio Help to view the help for these properties.
• 451EGFBK: Windows Vista does not support use of help files with a .hlp file extension, including What's This? help. If you want to view .hlp files, you must download and install the WinHlp.exe program from the Microsoft Download Center.
• 41RBSKHW: The following help items do not work if MSDN help is not installed:
  
  • F1 help in the Visual Studio code editor.
  • Help buttons in the Visual Studio code editor.
  • Links to help from the Measurement Studio menu.
    
• 3NLCR02V: Links to hardware class library documentation may be broken if you do not have the latest hardware drivers installed. Use the Contents, Index, or Search tabs instead to find the topic.
• 452D7500: In Visual C++, many Measurement Studio user interface and 3D graph controls have What's This? help available, unless you are running Windows Vista with Visual Studio 6.0. All code samples in the What's This? help are in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 syntax.
• 2ZDF209Q: In Visual C++, the What's This? help question mark that usually appears at the top right corner of a property page is not displayed until you right click an item in the property pages for a Measurement Studio control and choose to view What's This? help.
• C549721: Measurement Studio Visual C++ user interface and 3D graph control property pages now include a Help button. However, you cannot use the button to access the NI Measurement Studio Help.

Known Issues in Measurement Studio

For a complete list of incompatibilities in Measurement Studio with previous versions of Measurement Studio and otherwise supported features, including a list of obsoleted members and members that have been changed to sealed override or non-virtual, refer to the Measurement Studio Incompatibilities topic in the NI Measurement Studio Help.

• Measurement Studio 2009 uses the latest version of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) to accelerate linear algebra operations. Some of the functions in the latest Intel MKL return different results compared to previous versions of MKL due to higher optimization, resulting in slight numerical differences between Measurement Studio 2009 and previous versions.
• The default Name property on a TdmsFile is now the filename without the extension instead of TDMS File.
• When writing analog or digital waveforms to a TDMS channel group, the wf_samples property now contains the number of samples in the most recently written waveform instead of the total number of samples written by all waveforms.
• When writing time stamp values in TDMS, the values are now converted to UTC instead of being written using local values. You can use the TDMS UTC Converter Tool to convert from the time zone you specify to UTC for all date/time data types in a file. You typically need to do this for existing files that fit the following criteria:
  
  • You wrote the files with a version of the TDMS class library included in Measurement Studio 8.6.1 or earlier.
  • You need to read the files with a version of the TDMS class library included in a version of Measurement Studio newer than 8.6.1, DIAdem, or LabVIEW.
  • The files contain time-stamped data, where the absolute time of the time stamps is important.
    
  The TDMS UTC converter tool is located in the [InstallDir]\Common\Tdms folder. For more information, refer to the TDMS UTC Converter Readme in the [InstallDir]\Common\Tdms folder.
