LabVIEW compiled (executable) VIs do not read TDMS data

[Tim-O]

I have a problem with LabView 8.2

I have a simple VI that reads TDMS files, from which I have built a stand-alone executable.

Problem is, the VI does not read the streaming (waveform data). No error messages and other group properties read fine. When I install Labview and run the VI from within it, everything works.

Do I need to install DaqMX to get the stand-alone working by itself?

Many thanks

Tim

Hi Tim-O,

If there's no DAQmx code in the VI, I don't think you need to install DAQmx to make the executable work, the common mistake of the executable is about the path, could you please check the path in the executable? And if it still doesn't work, is that convenient for you to post your reproducible VI here for us to investigate?

Thank you!

Hi

Thanks for replying. If you mean the path to the TDMS file, then that is correct - it must be as the program is able to retrieve metadata from the file.

I'm going to try to compile a 'stripped down' version so see if it is a problem in the TDMS I/O VIs per se.
