Shared Memory Unsupported type

Thank you Lee.  I really appreciate the quick responses from all the DCAF developers! Makes a huge difference as we work to integrate DCAF with our new control system.

You're welcome, Steve! The team was glad to hear of your positive experiene with DCAF so far. As for this issue, it stems from a module dependency elsewhere in the framework (DCAF Table API), which will be updated shortly. In the meantime, if you need a workaround to get going, the fix is pretty easy:

  1. Navigate to: <LabVIEW>\vi.lib\NI\DCAF\Modules\Shared Memory\editor node\ToTable.vi
  2. Open ToTable.vi
  3. On block diagram, delete "row header" array constant and front panel indicators.
  4. Save the VI.

A future update of the DCAF Table API will likely break this this module, so a simple uninstall and reinstall of the DCAF Shared Memory Module will be the easiest way to "re-sync" the module to the published repository.

Thanks for the workaround, no more errors. I'll keep it in mind to reload the Shared Memory module when the DCAF Table API is updated.
