LV 8.6 Registry Bug

[IanH]

Anyone else notice a memory leak in 8.6 when reading a registry item? I use the registry to store calibration values which are then read everytime that sensor is polled (every 100 ms). The memory leak WASN'T there in 8.21 but now in 8.6 it definatly is. Since I call those registry values very often it very quickly sucks up WAAAYY too much memory and crashes LV.

I am calling the registry entries in the following manner.

Open Key

Read Value

Close Key

P.S. This is my first post. Hello to everyone!

Could you add a piece of code?

If you want to add a screen shot I recommend the Code Capture Tool.

PS Welcome

Sorry for the un-cleanness of the code.

The calibrations are logged into HKLM\Software\SPC Rig\Calibrations under string names AmpMax and AmpMin. They vary the 4-20 mA scaling to "calibrate".

HKLM\Software\SPC Rig\Calibrations is opened. The refnum is passed to Read Value to read AmpMax, its refnum is then passed to AmpMin, then the refnum is passed to Close Key. The missing Vi (?) is a linear scaling vi that it won't load because I saved it in 8.6.

Is there a bug submit tool/site for 8.6?

Thanks

Yes, there is.

A summary and guideline is given in LabVIEW Bug Reporting on the LabVIEW wiki.
