Distributing a view created in MAX

[Alex Feldman]

I am using LabviewDSC 6.1 and I need to distribute a view that I create in MAX. My application has a lot of traces, so its a real pain in the rear to configure all of them from scratch for each individual computer. The problem is that all the trace names get logged starting with the computer name "\\computername\Labview\tagname". I can copy a file called config.mxs located in the MAX directory to the new computer, and I will get to keep the view I created on the source computer. There is no way to rename the traces in the view to have the current computername in the beginning of the trace path. I've tried renaming the computername to "localhost" before creating the view, but that doesn't help since the tracenames have the actual co
mputername in the path. Any ideas?

Unfortunately there is no way to do what you are asking. Using LabVIEW DSC 7 you could, assuming all the computers were on the same network, create a single database computer and directly query that on each client computer, but I don't think that is the case in your situation.

This is a great use case and this functionality will be added to a future release of the product. I'm sorry I couldn't give you better news.
