I have written and tested a simple VI which collects data from a serial device. The VI works perfectly on my development computer.
I created an application from my VI, and installed it on another computer with the the Labview 6i RunTime Engine.
The application started but would not communicate with my instrument. I noticed that the VISA resource name combo-box button was greyed out as well. VISA was returning error 1073807346 "??? in VISA Configure Serial Port->[VI NAME].vi"
I checked NI Support and found the article "VISA Program Does Not Run as a Distributed Application". Which suggested my visaconf.ini file aliases were not present. I could not find the file on the computer and assumed I had to ins
tall some kind of VISA software.
I tried installing the VISA RunTime Engine, ver2.60. This installed the visaconf.ini file which I added the correct aliases to. After rebooting I tried my application again, but it crashed on starting.
I since tried installing the application on my development computer and the application appeared to crash in the same way.
What am I doing wrong?!
Best regards,
RBGT.
