How to include LabView Instr.llb in a TestStand deployment?

I want to deploy my Test Stand sequenze file. When i install the deployment and want to let run it shows that it can t find all of the sub VIs whitch i used direct from LabView. For example: VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi or Check if File or Folder Exists.vi . How to include this VI s to the installer?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Depending on your settings, those should already be part of the deployment.
You miss the dependencies from vi.lib, instr.lib and/or user.lib. In the worst case, you will have to create custom Source Distributions in LV to pack those components. When configuring those, you have to make sure that the checkbox "exclude vis from the vi.lib, user.lib and instr.lib" is NOT checked (by default it is).

How to include source code in web dynpro java deployment

Hi,
We dont have NWDI.
We are creating ear files out of web dynpro applications packaging them as sca files and deploying them in server.
But the source code is not included in ear.
How to include source code with your ear/sca , so that when anyone downloads the sca file later, they are build the Project in the studio.
How would they typically download? Do they require NWDI ,
Right now we dont have NWDI in place, but we want to do is parcel the applications such that the source code should be available at a later time for download.
This is possible with .par files , but what about web dynpro?
Thanks,
Deb

If you are not using NWDI use the _comp file.

How to include LabVIEW Run-Time in executable file ?

Hello folks,
I have an application that need the user to simply calling executable file without setting up LabVIEW run-time because my executable file will be posted in LAN and anyone can run it remotely. What should I do? Any help very appreciate...
Thanks so much

You have to have labVIEW run-time installed on your computer in order to run a LabVIEW programs (vi or exe). What you can do when you distribute an exe file is to create an installer which lets you install LabVIEW run-time and create a menu item (in Windows) in the Start>>Programs menus. Then you can distribute the whole package and after running the installer, LabVIEW run time as well as the exe is installed.
You can do this in the installer settings of the Application builder (when you create the .exe file). Go to the "Advanced" section. There you can add the LabVIEW run-time Engine to the installer.
One other possibility you can do if several people want to use the programm over Lan is to use the LabVIEW webserver. You can run a programm somewhere on the
network and other people can open the front panel in their Webbrowser. But maybe that's not exactly what you want. ??

How to include a carriage return in a TestStand string variable

Is there anyway to add a carriage return to a TestStand string variable. I am sending commands to an instrument using the Rs232 serial bus and they need to be terminated with a carriage return ie "\r". I know you can creat a DLL and return the string variables to TestStand but is there a beter way ?

Hi Paul,
Sorry about that, just noticed I left off the "" in my last response.
Try "\\r". that should solve it.

How to include custom application.xml in JDev9i project

Can anybody explain to me how to include a custom application.xml file when deploying to an .ear file? I need to include application wide security roles, and I can't see where in Jev9i how to do this.
After searching this forum, I see that jdev9i can't include the orion-application.xml, but I want to include just the standard J2EE application.xml. Is this possible?
Thanks,
matt

The standard application.xml file unfortunately can't be customized in JDev 9.0.2. The reasons why this capability was left out of JDev 9.0.2 are same reasons why the other EAR-level XML files were excluded. The OTN thread
Re: Regarding 11i and E-business suite
has a summary of those reasons, which you've probably seen. We know this is an area in need of improvement and will be adding this functionality in the JDev 9.0.3 release. Until then, you'll have to go with a work-around like an Ant build file, batch file, Java application, or some other kind of script.
Below is a sample Java application which can be used to insert <security-role> elements into an EAR file's application.xml. Modify the main() method to customize for your purposes, and put xmlparserv2.jar on the classpath (in a JDev project, add the "Oracle XML Parser v2" library):

How can I determine what LLB a VI is being loaded from?

I've been frustrated switching between versions when an application opens and suddenly can not find a VI which is being loaded from a LLB. How can I determine what LLB (or other type of library) a VI is being loaded from ?
Is there a list of all libraries along with what VIs are included in them somewhere?
Thanks,
Dave

In the context help, enable "Show Optional Terminals and Full Path ", then just hover over your VI, either on the diagram on in the hierarchy view.

How to include required hardware drivers (eg Agilent E5515C) to installer?

Please advice how to include the reqiured instrument driver to the installer?

Hi Eva,
Many instrument drivers that are specifically for LabVIEW are simply a group of VIs. Most of the time, when you use these VIs in a project, they are automatically included under Dependencies. LabVIEW should add only the VIs you used in your project and you can see what gets added by expanding Dependencies.
I’m not sure about the E5515C, but if it is similar to most drivers for Agilent equipment, you can probably manually add the libraries (.LLB) to the project under My Computer. By dragging and dropping a .LLB on My Computer in your project, you should see a folder created and that folder should contain all the VIs in that .LLB. These can then be set as source files in the installer and will be place on the target machine.
Finally, if your ultimate goal is to have the instrument driver installed on the target machine in the same way as it is on your development machine, this is probably best left as a separate install. The information in the two above paragraphs is relevant to simply distributing a working application not recreating a development environment.

Include LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in C# Project Distribution

I have written a software package in Visual Studio using C# which calls a number of functions from a dll which I have built in LabVIEW. I am now trying to produce an installation program for my C# package but can't quite work out how to include the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in this installation.
I am creating the installation program by defining a Visual Studio Deployment Project and I have added my LabVIEW dll to this. However, the dll requires the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine to also be installed on the target PC. I was hoping that there would be a set of files to implement the installation of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine that I could include in my Visual Studio Deployment Project and do the installation of both my C# code and my LabVIEW dll (inc Engine) in one operation. Is this possible? Or do I need to produce a LabVIEW installation for my dll separately from the C# installation?
Info:
Development OS = Windows 2000
Target OS = Windows XP
C# Development Environment = Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 V8.0
LabVIEW Version = 8.5
Also, I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and noticed that there seemed to be an 'Order Analysis Run-Time Engine' installed on my PC. Do I need this too?
Thanks for any help.
CAS

Hi CAS,
One way of automating the installation of the LabVIEW run-time engine is to use commands in a batch file (*.bat). These commands would be executed automatically at the same time as your distribution installer to install LVRT with your C# application. For more information on command line options, have a look at this KB. I don't have so much knowledge of C# distributions, though, so there may be a better way to approach this that someone else in the community could advise you on.
With regard to the order analysis toolkit, you will also need this runtime engine installed. A point to note, though, is that the toolkit requires a run-time licence to be deployed in this fashion. It is now part of the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite and needs to be licenced accordingly.
I hope this helps!

How to call LabVIEW dll from ATL COM dll

I have tried to call simple LabVIEW 8.6 Dll from win32 test application, class Library.
I have include LabVIEW generated SharedLib.h file and SharedLib.lib file in the test application which I created as simple win32 console project and also from win32 class Library. I was sucessfully able to call my LabVIEW dll funtion.
But when I create ATL COM project and try to add SharedLib.h file and SharedLib.lib file I used to get following erors
Error 1 error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function 'StrCatW' not allowed d:\program files\national instruments\labview 8.6\cintools\extcode.h 463
Error 2 error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function 'StrCpyW' not allowed d:\program files\national instruments\labview 8.6\cintools\extcode.h 464

Error 5 error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function 'StrCmpNW' not allowed d:\program files\national instruments\labview 8.6\cintools\extcode.h 467
these many errors.
Will some one explain me how to call LabVIEW dll from ATL COM dll.
Thanks & Regards,
Jay

I also had this problem. My application is unicode-aware, but I was attempting to link it to a library with primitive C-string arguments. You could dynamically load the DLL as suggested (more work), modify the header files (really not recommended), or if you are feeling lucky you could try fooling the compiler, as I was successfully able to do in Visual Studio 2010, by steering the preprocessor around those functions (assuming you're not using them, of course -- otherwise this probably wouldn't work):
// prepare for NI extcode.h inclusion. avoid linker errors for this project.
#define StrCatW(a,b)     IgnoreLinkError_StrCatW(a,b);
#define StrCpyW(a,b)     IgnoreLinkError_StrCpyW(a,b);
#define StrCpyNW(a,b,c) IgnoreLinkError_StrCpyNW(a,b,c);
#define StrCmpW(a,b)     IgnoreLinkError_StrCmpW(a,b);
#define StrCmpNW(a,b,c) IgnoreLinkError_StrCmpNW(a,b,c);
// header file for my LabView-built DLL (ASCII single-byte character arguments)
#include <MyLibraryHeader.h>
// clean up afterwards, put things back to 'normal'
#undef StrCatW
#undef StrCpyW
#undef StrCpyNW
#undef StrCmpW

How to include another msi with LV application builder?

I can use LV application builder to create an installer for my application. But my application relies on a 3rd part msi, which should be run after my application is installed. So how to include this msi with LV app builder? Thanks in advance.

I would recommend executing a batch file that launches your other installers after your LabVIEW executable finishes installing. The process of doing this (in addition to other suggestions about including 3rd party installers) can be found in the Knowledgebase linked here.

use this for including in your selectattribute.jsp

I never tried calling an applet. I think you can write the code for calling the applet in a javabean method and call the method in the jsp

How to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?

Hi Any idea how to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?
I forgot to add and set the condition of the type for this program.
If the program is an application, it would close straight away.
If it is still labview work, it will go straight to editing program without closing.
So I need to recover, open it and make some changes.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Put the VI in a project and open it from there, then it shouldn't autorun. You can use App.kind property of application to decide whether to close or not.

How to include one view into another view

Hi SDN's,
               Could any please tell me,How to include one view into another view.
In my requirment.I want to create a 'Z' view for an interface .In that view i have to take,
1) Ship-to-email adrr by
                          LIKP-KUNNR -> KNA1-ADRNR
                          KNA1-ADRNR -> ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER.
2) E-mail addr of person who created the document.i.e
    LIKP-ERNAM -> USR21-BNAME.
    USR21-ADDRESNUMBER -> ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER
    USR21-PERSNUMBER -> ADR6-PERSNUMBER.
   In both the case we have to pass ADDRESSNUMBER to ADR6 table.
If we pass these condition it fails,B'Coz at a time it passes Two ADDRESSNUMBER and a PERSNUMBER.
So i created two which fetches only the email addr of person who created the document.and another view fetches Ship-to-email addr.
Now i want to include the second view into first view . Is it possible?or please
tell me someother way to get these email addresses in a single view.

hi
as per my knowledge, nested views are not possible. However, while creating a new view, selection method will not giv u option to select the already created view(S) except the tables..i think so.
