I'm pretty much a LabVIEW newbie, so please be gentle...
I've written a VI which moves a sensor in a plane over a sample and takes a measurement at each point.
I want to modify the VI so the sensor can take measurements in multiple planes, at various distances from the sample.
Normally, I'd just do the editing at the PC that is running the system. However, that PC is used for several other things, and I didn't want to tie it up while I was doing my editing.
I moved the VI to a folder on a network drive, and tried editing the VI on a different, networked, PC.
However, on the network PC, my VI is looking for the sub VIs in the wrong directory. When I investigated, I discovered that on the networked PC, LabVIEW is looking for library files in C:\temp. Note that this is _not_ the default location. (The "Use default" box is unchecked when selecting "Library Directory" under "Paths" in the "Options..." dialog.) The default location is C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1 on both the network PC and the measurement system PC. (On the measurement system PC, my VI _does_ use the default directory for library files.)
I've tried Google and searching the discussion board, but haven't come up with any useful hits.
The system administrator is willing to work with me on this problem, but he says he's pretty clueless when it comes to LabVIEW. (Note that I'm _not_ a system administrator on the networked PC, so I can't make any changes that stick.)
This is a LabVIEW 7.1, Windows XP Pro SP2 system, if that matters.
I'm guessing that some initialization file is messed up, but I have no clue what to do about it.
Any help or suggestions?
