LabVIEW PDA Module - Bluetooth Drivers

[eic09632]

Hello,

i'm using LabVIEW PDA Module in developing an application that can read barcodes. My application was intended to use a barcode scanner to read the barcode and then send it to my application running in the PDA using bluetooth. The problem happened when i tried to download and execute my application to the PDA. The following error appeared on the  PDA: "Bluetooth ERROR - Unable to load Bluetooth library LVBtw.dll". After reading some docs, i realised that the problem was that LabVIEW PDA Module only works with WIDCOMM drivers and my PDA has Microsoft drivers. I even considered installing the WIDCOMM drivers on my PDA but it is not possible. As you can imagine this is a big problem to my application.
I would to know why there this limitation and if there will a future solution for this limitation.
I don´t expected that you can provide me a solution in useful time but at least that you could find a soluiton for further developers.
Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

This is a common problem.

This thread shows how to get the correct drivers downloaded to your PDA.

Hi,

before i had started this post i already had checked that thread.
The problem is that LabVIEW PDA Module doesn´t support Microsoft bluetooth drivers.
I hope that in a further version that problem won´t exist.
