Will hardware drivers work with the run-time engine or only a full version of Labview?

Hello.
I'm trying to get a quatech I/O card to work. The instructions with the drivers we were given state "you must have labview installed before installing these drivers".
A program I wrote on my machine works fine with those drivers and does toggle outputs on the card, but when I build it into an executable on our test unit (doesn't have a full version of Labview, just the Run-Time engine) the card doesn't work.
We installed the run-time engine on the unit, then the drivers.
I guess my question is: Do most drivers work with both the full version of Labview and the run-time engine? Or do I need to somehow 'convert' these drivers to work with the run-time engine?
Th
anks for your help!

Dave:
I can't determine which dll is required but if there are more than one that
shipped with the quatech I/O card try to placing one dll at a time in the
same directory as the exe so that you can determine which one is the
required one. If that doesn't do it then it may need more than jsut one of
the dlls so placing all that came with the quatech I/O card s/w driver
package in the same directory as the exe should do the trick.
Best of luck.

Building an Application in Windows to be used in Linux (with the Run-Time Engine)

Hi All,
I have an LabVIEW project I have developed in a Windows environment. I can create an Application (.exe) using the Build Specification -> Application Builder which works fine on the development platform.
I now want to distribute the application to a Linux Environment. The OS is openSUSE v10.3 (with GNOME). I have downloaded the two rpm files needed for the run-time engine and installed them, as per here:http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/97E14BA3E0C14A89862572C300567733?opendocument&node=13207...
Now, the question is; how do I create an Application in Windows which can be used on the Linux Box? According to the Application Builder instructions, it's simply a case of removing the .exe extension in the Target File Name options, however, this gives an error "Invalid Extension."
If I do create an exe and manually remove the extention is doesn't work on the Linux enviroment (typing ./application).
Has anyone had experiance of this?
Many Thanks for Any Help,
Oliver

LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 8.2.1 for Linux

The cross-platform nature of LabVIEW refers more to the code than to the executable.
LV (given the appropriate development version) can compile the same source code into a Windows (using LV for Windows), Linux (using LV for Linux) or Mac (using LV for Mac) program.
This means you will still have three versions of your program, one for each platform.
If you want to distribute VIs (without block diagrams), you will also need different versions of these as without the block diagram, they cannot be re-compiled for a new platform.

While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the error message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.
Help???

Just responded to this in another thread (note we used Captivate 7 so it might be a different error).
We found that when we created files with embedded swf files that existed ABOVE widgets in the timeline, when someone else tried to open our file it broke/we got the runtime error. The original person could still open it for a time, but eventually the cache would clear and they couldn't.
However, if we ensured swf files are BELOW widgets in the source files, it didn't break. In fact, if we found one that was breaking and got the author to move the swf file on the timeline, it would start working for others.
STRANGE! Let me know if this works for you to!

iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it.

if i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?

They both seem to cover the same 3G bands - from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ :
Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: 4G LTE (700 MHz); CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz);UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA isn't any use here as there aren't any UK CDMA based carriers, they are all GSM/sim card based (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe). As the AT&T version appears to support an extra 4G LTE band then that might be the better one.

Is it possible to choose the serial port if only the run time engine is installed

I have an application, which communicates over the serial port. When I use the full version of Labview I can change the serial port without any problem from Com1 to Com2 (similar to the example “Hardeware input output -> serial -> Labview serial vi"). When I build an application and try to run this program on a computer where only the run time engine 6.1 is installed, it is not possible to choose the serial port. Since there is no “Measurement and Automation Explorer” available on the run time engine and no directory C:\VXIpnp is created, when the run time engine is installed, I do not see a way, how I can satisfy the computer with the information it needs for configuring
the different ports. Any suggestions?

Hi Daniel,
Before LV6.1 there was LV5.1 In LV5.1 the way to Spedify a resource was to use a string control with correct VIsa Resource Class identifier. For eg. "GPIB0::11" or "ASRL1::INSTR". With Introduction of VISA Resource Name Control and linking with MAX, These names are Available from Pull Down List and Can be Aliased, meaning ASRL1 which is Serial Port 1 can be called COM1 and so on. However the old method still works with all 6.1 Controls. Only thing is you have to make sure you Dont Conflict the Class Names ie Use "GPIB::.." instead of "ASRL..." when addressing Serial Port VI's.
To solve your Problem I would Build a Menu ring with COM1 to COM4 in the Pull Down List.
Next, If I use the Traditonal Serial Port VI wich accepts the Integer as Seria
l Port #. I just Wire the Menu Ring to this VI.(Remember COM1 is 0, COM2 is 1 for this VI)
If I use VISA Config Serial Post. I build an Array Constant with Corresponding VISA Class Names So in our case a String Array Constant of 4 elements "ASRL1::INST" to "ASRL4::INST". I Use Index Array Function With the Index Wired to my Menu Ring. The Array Input Terminal Wired to the Array Constant. The Output of this Array will be correct Visa Class Name Based on slection of my Menu Ring. I can Wire this as Input to my VISA Config Serial Port Vi.
I have attached a Small VI to Illustrate this.
Drawback: You must Predefine what Ports you will Want to Use. Basically you define all the cases.
I hope this Answers your Q!
Good Luck

Installing the run-time engine as a non-administrator

I want to distribute a stand-alone application to end-users that are not administrator of their computer. When they try to install the RTE without administrator privileges, the installer cannot continue because it cannot write to the C:\ base directory. How can I fix the run-time engine installer to work without administrator privileges?

On the second screen of the installer, the user can choose an alternative target location. Have you tried that?
(sorry, I don't know how well this will work). What is the runtime version?

Getting LabVIEW load error code 59 using LabVIEW 2010 with a Run Time Engine.

I use a vi compiled with a run time engine to run separate vi’s in my application directory. Once a file association is made with this exe file any Vi in my application directory is available to be loaded as needed. This is a process that has been very successful for me over the years and would prefer to continue using this process. Most of my applications are running in LabVIEW 8.6 and have moved them to 2009. First indications are in 2009 this process is still working. However, I plan to go on to 2010 before upgrading my test stations.
In 2010 I get the error 59: “The source file’s compiled code has been separated, and this version of LabVIEW does not have access to separated compiled code.”
The same dialog box also presents, (Hex 0x626) “Cannot open a VI with separated compiled code in a Run Time Engine that has no access to the VIObjCache.”
What can I do in the build that will get around this error?
Thank you

Thank you for the solution. I am sure this works until the next vi in the vi library gets this option selected.
The bigger issue is I was doing something that National Instruments did not support. When I started in the days of LV 4.0 it was recommended to me that I use this method as virtually all my applications were for in house projects. This is still my preference because it gives the most versatility and allows modifications of single files rather than compiling the entire application.
The final solution I ended up with for those who may be having the same issues. My recommendation for what it is worth, is to compile the application as an executable. This is from what I can tell the only acceptable and supported method. Using this method the problem is solved.
I have accepted this as the solution. I still don't like it. I could list the reasons why but it is a mute point.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond to this issue and offer the solution you found.

Browser plug-in with mac run-time engine problem

I have repeatdly tried to get web browser (Both Explorer 5.2.3 and Safari) VI viewing on my Mac (OS 10.4.2). I have reinstalled the run time engine (Labview 7.1.1 as downloaded from NI) numerous times with no luck. I get the usual "Browser plug-in required" message.
Doing a seach on my machine in the Internet plug-in folder reveals no new plug-ins after installation of the RTE.
I can run this VI work fine on a remote PC running Explorer, so I think my VI server is running fine. I quit the PC before trying it on the MAC to avoid any license limitations.
Any suggestions? Is the browser plug in available as a seperate down load? I could not locate it on the NI site.
Thanks

Hi G,
Lets try this. Install the LV71NPlugin file, in the attached image, in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory. I had to save the image with a different extension to be able to upload it to the forum so...
1) Download the file
2) Change the file extension from "abc" to "dmg"
3) Copy LV71NPlugin to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Please let me know if this works for you.
Thanks

How to specify a different directory for the Run-Time Engine?

With LV 7.1 it's become even more difficult to create installation sets in third-party tools without having to include the full run-time engine separately.
If you use any of the advanced analysis VIs you have to install the run-time engine (no use in including files in the same directory as the built application) and if you do and you use the old serial VIs you get a problem because the application will load the run-time from the main run-time installation and then look for serpdrv in that directory, not in the application folder...
So - being forced to use the installer builder in the application builder and include the run-time engine in the installation kit I wonder whether it is possible to specify where the run-time should be installed?
By default it will go in a directory called National Instruments in the program files folder, however that is not ideal due to the fact that the users have no relation to the fact that our application needs something from NI...and may end up deleting the directory ("National Instruments? - what do I need that for...let me delete it...). We would like to be able to specify that the run-time is installed silently in a directory named with our company name instead.
MTO

When you create the stand alone, in options you can actually set the temp directory and default directory. You can change it there OR in goto options and check for libraries/directories. You can change it there too.

The program doesn't find the run time engine

I create an executable before normaly and after like an installer. When I try it into computer with full LabView licence the program works, but if I install it into a different pc, it requires me to install the run time engine, but the run time engine is installed into the pc. What kind of error can generate this problem?
Solved!

Hi vsara
Mike is correct, you need the VISA runtime to use VISA functions in an executable. If you don't want to install it as a standalone you can include it in your installer as an additional installer.

Path where to install the run time engine (on Linux)

I have a cluster of Linux computers where I would like to run compiled LABview (8.20 at the moment) applications build
with the application builder.
Therefore I would like to install the LABview run time engine on a NFS mount file system seen from each computer. But
the installation procedure of the run time engine does not propose to
choise the installation directory, but force the installation
in /usr/local/lib.
I try to workaround this problem and have copied the /usr/local/lib/LABview.8.2 directory to my NFS filesystem and
made the 'necessary' links.
Unfortunatly it doesn't run and fails because the
liblvrt.so.8.2 library can not access patched versions of the
libOSMesa.so.4
and libGL.so.1 librairies but uses the standard ones in /usr/X11R6/lib.
Even by setting my LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly to access the patched librairies versions it does not run because the
liblvrt8.2 library seems to be linked with the following
'rpath' (given by the command 'strings liblvrt.so.8.2 |
grep patchlib')
$ORIGIN/LabVIEW-8.2/patchlib:$ORIGIN/patchlib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib:$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/LabVIEW-8.2/linux:$ORIGIN/linux:$ORIGIN/resource
which prevents to access the patched librairies versions if the $ORIGIN is not set. Therefore I tried to set $ORIGIN as an
environment variable but it doesn't change anything.
Therefore my question is: Did somebody have already had this type of problem, what is $ORIGIN and how I can set it ?
Thanks in advance.

Sir,
Please could tell me the distribution you use ?

VI backwards compatibility with older run-time Engines

I currently developed a VI in Labview 8.6.1. I also created an exe for it so that I can run it on another computer. However, the other computer has an older version of the Run-Time engine installed and so my program cannot be executed on that computer without upgrading the run-time engine to 8.6.1. But....that computer also has some programs that run on that version of run-time engine. I have two options here but I do not know the effects or how to do it.
1) Install a newer version of the run-time engine (8.6.1) - Will this break the current functionality of the programs already on it?
2) Is it possible to have my VI run on older versions of the run-time engine? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you.
Solved!

As dennis said simply install the new runtime engine. We have machines that have 5 versions of the runtime engine on them and we haven't experienced any problems.

I have a ibook G4 which has become redundant as my phone will no longer work with the version of itunes installed (latest it can use), how can I back up my phone to transfer to a new computer (a PC now)?

My iphone 4s (7.1.1) will no longer work with my ibook G4 which is running 10.5.8. I have a PC which i'm now going to have to use, I've manually transferred my music and photos, but how do I go about transferring my contacts and calenders. What does itunes on PC sync to in terms of contacts and calenders?
Thanks!
