Hello
I am in the middle of developing a hardware/software combing nation for controlling an electrical load box. My current design will be using LabVIEW code and a cDAQ 9184. I also need to deploy this to about ten load boxes.
With this in mind I am trying to make everything as plug in play as possible. Ideally I would be able to swap any piece of hardware without any configuring and have it working. I am trying to program all of my DAQmx information into a setup VI. So far it works pretty good with the following exception. The PC I am developing on has MAX. The networking part of it is easy. I am configuring all the channels programmatically. When I build an exe and send it to the deployment PC it cannot find the 9184. The development PC does not have MAX
I think I can fix this by assigning a static IP address, but then if any of the 9184s need to be replaced in the future I would again need to assign a static IP. I want to be able o take it out of the box, swap it and have it function.
Is it possible to do this programmatically either by finding the cDAQ or programmatically assigning an IP (but I guess to this you would need to find it first)?
Does anyone have any examples of how this is done?
I am happy to provide more details as necessary.
Thanks
Trent
