Re: How to turn off the new LV7 error probe while debugging?
> I quess we should not mention it to Kyle :. Hello all, :-) It appears that I should have said that there is no supported way to change the default behavior. As you all have discovered, there is no setting for disabling the smart probe in the 'training wheels' options. I am a bit surprised the behavior when the file is missing is to revert quietly to the old one, but I'm glad that you found a workaround for your problem. Thanks for the additional info on why you are not satisfied with the default probe. The 'smart' error probe does not work after the data has passed because the probe is actually a VI. The VI receives the error as an input when the error reaches the probe in the dataflow. The older probe is a simpler intrinsic structure that does not follow the behavior of a VI. This issue has been documented, and change of the 'smart probe' behavior will be considered for future development. Thanks again for the information and the workaround. Have a good day, Kyle Bryson National Instruments

If you find that you don't need the training wheel features -- as I like to call them -- you can turn most of them, or hopefully all of them off in the Tools Options dialog. If you poke around a little, you will find them, or you can ask, like you did for the probe. And if it isn't in there, many things, like the probe are actually written as VIs and can be disabled via other means. Greg McKaskle
Re: How to turn off the new LV7 error probe while debugging?
Hello Wiebe again You are perfectly right. I have removed the file you mentioned and my old generic probe came in the place. Thank you very much, I quess we should not mention it to Kyle :. kind regards Pawel
Re: How to turn off the new LV7 error probe while debugging?
Hello Kyle Thank you for your answer, which BTW is not what I expected. The new smart probe is not so smart, I believe, since it must be placed before the data flow reach the probe. The old generioc probe will read the wire contents even though I placed it after the dataflow passes the wire. That is my biggest problem which successfully prohibits from using the new probe. Now every time I need to click three times more, if I rememeber. If I dont, I need to close smart probe and place a generic again. That takes time. In case of troublefull application, when I need to restart LV quite often this msart probe realy gives a lot of time lose. Since I am complaning I must say that most of the inventions in LV7 does not work for me. Fancy icons for controls, strange looking bad wires, completelly useless menu, etc. The only reason why I stick to LV7 is the dynamic events. Otherwise I will uninstall it ASAP. I guess that NI forgot about programmers which do LV for a living not for fun. kind regards Pawel
Re: How to turn off the new LV7 error probe while debugging?
Hi Pawel, I do not believe that there is a method for changing the default error probe. Once you make the selection of the generic probe, LabVIEW will default to that, but does not remember this when closed and restarted. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any more questions or would like to report a specific problem with the smart error probe, please reply with more information. Thank you, Kyle Bryson National Instruments
