Use config VIs in llb

[swiss_ski]

Hello everybody

I'm working on an automated setup using Vision Builder AI (2018) and LabVIEW(2018).

As I wanted to add additional raw data storage functionality to the optical inspection handled in VBAI, I planned to use configuration files to control certain paramaters which can be easily adapted and do not have to be included in the version controlled Testsequences/LabVIEW-VIs as the raw data storage is for debugging purposes.

But I ran in to some problems. Whenever I try to call a VI in Vision Builder containing Config File VIs, I get the following error message:

I assume I have to include the used config VIs (Open Config Data, Read Key and Write Key) in an llb. My experience with llbs is very limited, so I only tried to place said VIs together in an llb but as expected this didn't do the trick. Can someone help me out, please?

(the VIs worked just fine when I tested them in LabVIEW directly, so I assume the code is not the problem)

After looking for a solution for 2 days without any luck, I wrote about it in the forum and a little bit later I found the solution myself. As often, it really helps to formulate for someone else.

Anyway in case someone else has similar issues:

I added all the VIs I wrote myself to a project and then created a source distribuition as described here:
