NI System Configuration VIs Are Broken in My System

Issue Details

I have three PCs with LabVIEW and other NI drivers installed. I have observed in all the PCs that the below VIs located in the system configuration folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2019\vi.lib\nisyscfg are broken:

1. Create Filter Wrapper.vi
2. Property Node (Filter).vi
3. Property Node (Hardware).vi
4. Property Node (System).vi

When I open any of these VIs in LabVIEW and press the run button, I get the below errors-

• VI Errors

• Block Diagram Errors

Solution

This is an expected behavior as these VIs are not a part of the NI System Configuration library nisyscfg.lvlib. Moreover, these VIs are not supposed to be used as independent subVIs as they are merely wrappers over other VIs or property nodes. Please refer to the explanation below for each of these VIs-

1 - Create Filter Wrapper.vi- From its block diagram below it can be understood that this VI is merely a wrapper around the Create Filter VI with  a System Filter property node linked to it.
 

If you go to LabVIEW function palette-->Measurement I/O-->System Configuration-->Utilities, you will see the Create Filter VI. This is actually the Create Filter Wrapper VI and if you drag it to the block diagram you will notice that the above wrapper VI's block diagram gets placed. In order to use it you still need to wire the missing references or controls as shown below -
