Running 1 copy of Labview Basic on 2 PCs

Hello,
Can you buy one copy of LabVIEW Basic and install on 2 PCs, The first PC would develope code for the second PC , that would be its only purpose. The second PC would act as a data gathering PC in a test setup. If this is not possible I would need to take the data gathering PC down to make any changes.
Thanks.

Another problem with this is the fact that the development computer should have the same DAQ capabilities as the deployed computer, else it will be difficult to troubleshoot. What is involved in "data gathering"? Can you describe your hardware setup?

DSC TAG ENGINE doesn't run after using eval copy of LabView

I used an eval copy of LabView.
I uninstalled this eval copy and I bought and installed the full NI Developer Suite.
Now Labview 6i (6.0) works properly but I'm unable to use DSC because the Tag Engine stops immediately with this message: "This evaluation copy of Labview has expired. Engine will close".
I'm using a Pentium III PC 128Mb RAM Win98 italian version.

Hi Silvano,
I found a similar case from another customer. Nationl Instruments is aware of this issue. But the only workaround for now would be (propre version):
1) uninstall LabVIEW DSC and LabVIEW
2) delete the registry key from the old LabVIEW eval version with regedit.exe.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments\LabVIEW\lvedid]
3) reinstall LabVIEW and LabVIEW DSC
(short version)
1) Rename lvedid in the:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments\LabVIEW\lvedid] to e.g. ..\LabVIEW\1lvedid
Hope this helps

Run-time error "5010": Labview: VI execution ...

I get Run-time error "5010": Labview: VI execution terminated by server. This error occurs sporatically. I am running Visual Basic 5.0 application that communicates to Labview 6.1 VIs. It is using NI-Imaq to do vision analysis of parts. I just need to know what to look for that may be causing this error. I am also running it on a PXI system with 64 MB of memory.

Hello,
I recommend you to do direct function calls to NI-IMAQ and NI Vision function libraries from Visual Basic as this will be a lot more efficient and improve rubustness of your application. During the installation of both software, you have the option to include support files for Visal Basic. Once these components are installed you should see the shipping examples in the following directories (if installed in the default path):
(NI-IMAQ) C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Sample\VB
(NI Vision) C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\VB\Samples\IMAQ
There are additional examples that can be found in the Code Library (see the link on the left sidebar).
Let me know if you have further questions regarding this issue.

Getting a copy of LabView for Linux.

Hi, I recently purchased a copy of Labview 2009 through my university and was wondering if there was any way I could download a linux-flavored version. In making the switch, I am currently dual-booting Windows/Linux, but am aiming to run 100% linux. At any rate, since I have a Student Edition, I wasn't sure what the exact liscensing terms were, or if I could have it installed on both my linux and windows partition, or even if I would have access to the full functionality of the Windows version in linux. I read somewhere on your site that for the business version, you can have it on up to 3 business computers and 1 home computer, but can only be executing one version at a time. Seeing as how I am dual booting, it would only be possible to have one version running at a time, short of running two virtual machines on my PC.
Any input would be helpful,

Call the local branch of National Instruments; the sales rep should help you get a copy. I believe you should be OK legally but be sure to confirm.

Install labview 6.1 (or compatible) run-time engine with labview 2011

I have installed a trial period version of Labveiw 2011 in order to check for possible upgrade issues I may have if I decide to upgrade from labveiw 6.1. Well, needless to say there have been alot. That is as expected since I have not updated labview in many years. I am still not under any pressure to update; however, I would like to in order to get support and make sure I do not have any compatibility issues with new equipment purchases. I have been able to resolve most of my compatibility issues with simple code fixes and such. However, twice now I have run into an error when launching labview executeables compiled by two different equipment manufacturers. The equipment I am using is not even old...maybe a year or so. When I launch the labview executables to control this equipment on a PC that has the trial period labview 2011 installed, I get an error message stating something like " This requires a Labview 6.1 (or compatible) run time engine." I have tried to download and install the 6.1 labivew engine but I can't install this engine on a PC which has labview 2011 installed. Can someone explain how I am to run these executables under labview 2011. I can't imagine these executables were developed using 6.1 since this equipment is not even a year old now.

Im not for sure I am on the same page with you here. Im not trying to develop any code myself. I have some labview executables that came with hardware we purchased in order to control it. We used to have labview 6.1 installed; so everything was working ok. But now that I have installed 2011, I get an error message when trying to run these executables. The error message states that this executable requires a labview 6.1 or compatible run-time engine. I have seen this error on both XP and Windows 7 machines. I did not develop the executable, it was developed by the hardware manufacturer. But since this hardware is only about 1 year old, I an assuming they used a newer version of Labview to develop this code. Certianly newer than 6.1.
So I guess my question is..is there a way for me to get this executable to work on a PC that has labview 2011 installed. I have tried to install a labview 6.1 run time engine but it will not install. Any other options?

Which tablet/s can run executables created in LabVIEW 8.5?

Background: I have created a VI that acquires data over bluetooth from a specific DAQ device. The VI is created in Windows 7 and LV 8.5. The VI is tested to work on the development machine. I'd like end users to be able to install and run an executable version of this VI from a tablet that has bluetooth capability.
Question: Which tablets can run executables created in LabVIEW 8.5? I think tablets running Windows 8.1, such as Surface Pro and Dell Venue Pro, should be okay but need a confirmation before I purchase one. Also, how about tablets that run other operating systems, such as Windows RT or Android?
Extended Question: What tablets in the market can run LabVIEW 8.5 VIs (or in other words allow LabVIEW 8.5 to be installed)?

Well since LabVIEW 8.5 isn't officially supported on Windows 7, or 8 you may have issues.

Of course many on the forums have stated being able to run older versions of LabVIEW on new operating systems without issue but know that from NI's perspective you should not be running LabVIEW 8.5 on Windows 7. Which means no modern tablet.

I need to pull data from a keyboard attached bar code reader, labview basic verison 8

Does anyone know how to pull the data sent by a keyboard attached bar code scanner using labview basic, version 8? I tried using the aquire input data function, however the data that it gives doesn't seem correct, and it also only seems to give one value out of the whole bar code. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mike

You don't need anything more than a string control. A bar code scanner when used as a keyboard wedge, acts just like when you type something into the control with the keyboard. Make sure that the string control has focus and scan something.

Finding the serial number for an installed copy of Labview 6.1

I have a copy of Labview 6.0 (Full Development System) and also Labview 6.1. I was able to find the serial number label in the package for version 6.0, but not for 6.1. I do have 6.1 installed and working on my workstation. Is it possible to determined the serial number for an installed copy of LabView?
Would the serial number for version 6.1 be the same as the serial number for version 6.0 that I upgraded from?

That's what I expected, however the window that pops up when I select Help->About LabVIEW contains only the following information:
LABVIEW 6.1

You can find the official downloads on the SAP Developer Network (SDN). If you haven't got an account yet, you'll have to sign up for it. You'll also need the account for the free Mini SAP license renewals. The most recent NetWeaver versions currently available are NetWeaver 7.02 SP6 for 32 bit and NetWeaver 7.03 SP4 for 64 bit. The free download has a size of 3.8 GB (32 bit) or 3.9 GB (64 bit).

Yes, it should do. (It runs on Starter, so it should work on Home Basic.)
