An EXE under 8.5.1 runtime engine can't find VISA drivers

Apologies in advance for newbie question.
I built a simple app (EXE) that uses PC serial port, using VISA drivers.
Works OK on one Dell PC, not OK on another.  Not exactly sure what to try.
The failure occurs when code hits the "Visa configure serial port" block.
See attached bitmaps for error message and offending block.
Do the Visa drivers need to be installed by me on the PC ?

Hello Remerlin,
Did you just create an exe, or did you create a full installer.  If you are going to deploy an application that uses functionality such as VISA, or LabView Runtime, you need to create an installer and include the additional installers such as VISA.  The following is a link to a tutorial on how to do this.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5406
When creating the installer, go to additional installers under categories (in installer properties) and make shure VISA, and LabView Runtime are checked, as well as any other functionality you will be using.

  • Call a sequence of VIs (not .exe)) in VB. only LV runtime engine Installed

    I am try to reuse my labview vis in VB enviroment. I would like to call a sequecne of vi from VB just like in LV with Call By Reference. This is a production enviroment, only Labview runtime engine installed in the computer. I realize that I can call labview exe file from VB, but then I have to compile every vis (more than hundreds) and have to reference every vis servers in VB.

    Actually, the runtime engine can run any VI--not just ones built into an application. The problem will be getting data in and out of the functions.
    If you have much of the code already written in LV why are you messing around with VB? Wouldn't the easiest solution be to write the entire application in LV? Just wondering.

  • Run labview exe in other way than runtime engine?

    Hi guys
    This might be stupid question, but can I run labview's *.exe in other way than in the runtime engine? In these days in have done *exe and installer with runtime engine and give it to the end-user. It does not matter how tiny ur code is, user have to install 40 conponents and then restart computer... How annoying. Is there eny other way? Can i use other programming languages some how?
    -AA-

    If the runtime is only one out of 40 components, it should not make a big difference for you.
    I always tell my users to download and install the runtime engine directly from NI. This needs to be done only once per PC and per runtime version, at which point you can distribute a small installer.
    There is also an idea to simplify all this. Please support it.
    (It is not reasonable to be able to build an executable with embedded runtime, that would make a LabVIEW 2009 executable 100+MB in size. (We had that back in LabVIEW 4.0, where each 20kb VI turned into a 3+MB executable, which was significant in the days of 1GB drives.)

  • Runtime engine can't load vi with lvdatetimerec.ctl

    Hello everybody,
    i have trouble with TS 3.5 / LV 11.0
    I programmed a small vi that calculates the time difference between now and a time stamp. To pass the timestamp from Teststand i use a Control (lvdatetimerec.ctl) and the matching VIs to do the task.
    Unfortunally i can't load the vi into Teststand using the Runtime Engine. I get the message "Unable to load VI "xx.vi" with the Run-Time Engine. It is possible that the version of the VI or one of its subVIs is not the same as the ..."
    It is certainly the same and there is no problem until i include a constant or control of that type.
    Do anybody have an idea?
    Best regards

    Try to recompile your vi hierarchy in LabVIEW (hold Ctrl and click Run), then save it, then try again in TestStand with LabVIEW runtime.
    Runtime engine does not support dynamic compiling, this vi may looks fine in LabVIEW, but TestStand will complain that it is broken.

  • I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC.  I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it.  These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

    I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

    You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

  • Search engine can't find my website

    Hi,
    I have recently published my first website done in Adobe Muse and I have the problem that the search engines don't find my site.
    I have added some keywords into every page of the site, (page properties) but it doesn't help. Is there anything else I should try to do, is there any other ways to go or what is wrong?
    Thankful for your help

    Hi,
    A site appearing on google search result depends on various factors. There is no defined time when the site will be indexed in google. It may take a week or a month as well. You can submit your site to the google's webmasters tool to expedite the process but still no definite time.
    Now ,
    For SEO (from a very simplified view) there are two primary factors that contribute to where your page ranks within Google. The first is how well the content of your page(s) correlate to the specific search phrase someone entered in Google. And the second is how "popular" your site is, measured primarily by how many other sites/sources contain links to your pages relative to the popularity of other sites that had a similar correlation to the search phrase.
    A 60-second course on SEO is:
    1) Pick ~3 search phrases you want to optimize for. Then work to have those phrases and the words in those phrases appear regularly in the content of your pages, paying special attention to .html file names, image file names, headings (marked with h1, h2, etc. tags), page titles, your domain name, image alt text, the text content of the actual pages, etc.
    2) Leverage Twitter, Facebook, Blogs in your industry, etc. to generate interest in your site and thus generate links back to your site.
    3) Submit your sitemap.xml to Google using Google's Webmaster Tools so they're aware of your site and more likely to re-index it sooner rather than later.
    There's tons more to SEO, but that's a start.
    Also ,
    Here are a few links which will help you in SEO  :-

  • Search Engines can't find me!

    Hello people, I have recently created a website using iWeb. The problem is that no search engines can find it. No matter what you type, even the actual domain, it still can't find anything.

  • How do I get a word documewnt in Downloads under "Tools" to open? I can't find the original document.

    My wife opened a word document from her e-mail but didn't save it. I see it under Tools-downloads but can't get it to open. Does anyone have a suggestion? I think she deleted the e-mail and it is not in her deleted Items nor in Word under recent...

    The Downloads folder in the Downloads Manager only shows a list of files that you have downloaded, but this doesn't mean that the file is still stored on the hard drive.
    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location and they may have been removed by Anti-virus or cleanup software or otherwise.

  • Rules engine can't find classes in DM

    I am working with the Oracle rules engine and can't get around what seems like a simple problem. I am following the example in chapter 18 of the BPEL developers guide (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28981/decision.htm#sthref3129) and can't seem to run the rules.
    I am creating the DM using the CreditRating.xsd provided in the example. I have created the RL function and ruleset as stated in the chapter. When I go to the RL tab and click on check RL syntax I get the following error:
    A syntax error is found.
    Error:'creditrating.RatingType' is undefined at line 4 column 14 in DM
    1. ruleset DM
    2.
    3. {
    4. fact class creditrating.RatingType supports xpath; <<<<
    5. fact class creditrating.Rating supports xpath;
    6. fact class creditrating.RatingrequestType supports xpath;
    I also have a process that uses a decision node to execute the ruleset and it complains that the creditrating.objectFactory is undefined. I have to be missing a step somewhere that actually links in the classes that are auto-generated by JAXB.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I dug a little deeper and figured out what the gotcha is with the rules engine repository. So, when working with the rules engine there are two ways to access the repository file that holds the data model and business rules. You can either access the file directly from the hard drive or through the use of WebDAV.
    I was using the rules author to access the repository directly on the hard drive since I didn't have WebDAV setup somewhere. I created my data model and my rules using the rules author.
    As part of creating the BPEL process to use the rules in the repository, I created a Decision Service and pointed it at the repository file on the hard drive that I have been editing with the rules author. The act of doing this COPIES the repository to the JDev directory where the Decision Service resides.
    During the deployment process, the Decision Service is deployed (auto-magically) as a separate ear file to the app server. This Decision Service ear file contains yet another copy of the rules engine repository file. The repository in the ear file, of course, is the repository that the BPEL server executes rules against when the BPEL process is run.
    Needless to say, continuing to edit the original repository that you were editing with the rules author does not actually affect any of the rules that are running on the app server. There are a couple of ways that you can get around this:
    1.) Edit the repository file (with the rules author) in the JDev directory directly and after making any changes save the repository and redeploy the BPEL process. Redeploying the BPEL process will redeploy the decision service which contains that copy of the repository.
    2.) This one is not really recommended, but is an option. Edit the repository file that got deployed as part of the decision service deployment. This will make your rules changes effective immediately. One of the real big problems with doing this is when the BPEL process is redeployed the repository on the app server that you have been modifying will be overwritten.
    3.) The real solution to this problem seems to be setting up a WebDAV deployment somewhere that you and the app server has access to.

  • Purchased iphone and its still registered under previous owner and don't/can't find out the needed info. how can I activate with my info?

    I purchased and Apple Iphone 4S 8g from a girl and it is still linked to her boyfriends Apple ID. He is in basic training and can not be contacted to find out the needed information to unhook the phone from his Find my Iphone. How can I go around needing that info to activate the phone under me so it can be used? I have already tried the Forgot passcode for your iphone and successfully restored the phone but it didnt fix the needing Apple ID of previos owner problem.

    You need to send the person who set the lock these instructions and get that person to follow them. If neither the person who set the lock nor the device's original owner can be reached, it's useless to you.
    Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the device's original owner. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure.

  • Profibus-Connection with NI LabVIEW Runtime-engine

    Hi,
    I have a Profibus network running in our porduction lane.
    Now we want to report several states of this production continously.
    Therefore I want to connect a desktop-pc via profibus to the PLC. But I want to run the VI on the PC as an application(exe) with the NI LabVIEW runtime engine because I won´t install LabVIEW on this PC. (on my development computer I have LabVIEW 2011)
    My question is:
    Does the Profibus communication work if I run the VI that way if I add the needed "additional installer" to my installer file?
    I´m quite sure that it will work but I want to check this point before ordering a Profibus-Board.
    I hope you understand my question and give me a positive answer so I can order an new Profibus-PCI-Board
    best regards
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    the scenario you are describing sounds reasonable and that should work.
    But in general, if you buy something at NI you can always call and describe your situation. Either the sales person can help you with your decision or in more complicated cases the sales person redirects you to a support engineer.
    Best regards,

  • Running the 6.1 Runtime Engine with 2009 Installed

    I have 2009 Developer's Suite LabVIEW installed and am using it regularly.  I recently obtained some executables which only run under the 6.1 Runtime Engine.  I have downloaded the 6.1 RTE, but have not installed it.  Do you think that installation of the 6.1 RTE will have any adverse effects on my 2009 installation?  I do not want to install LabVIEW 6.1, just the RTE.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As long as the program doesn't need other "drivers" such as earlier DAQ it should be ok, although usually it is a very good idea to install in the "original order" i.e., 6.x then 2009. I have RTE for several versions installed at the moment, but they were incrementally installed over the last couple of years.
