DAQ Task in Project is incorrect in distributed copy

[nsroc]

Greetings all,

I have a question that I can't find the answer to w/ the search.  This is odd, but I've generated a DAQ Task in Project in LabWindows that reads a thermocouple and displays temperature in F.  It works well until I created a distribution disc & installed it on the computer where it will live.  The task works properly, except it displays temperature in C... how can this be? Have I missed something in the distributions section, or is there something else I have to do to the destination machine?

I will add, I have 2 of the DAQ cards, both 6036E.  Would it be that I'm using a different card in the destination?

Thanks,

Rob

Update to this problem... I took the 6036 card from my computer I use for development & installed it into the operations computer & I am getting readings in "F".  Is there a way to make DAQ Task In Project work for any same type card instead of needing the card it was written on?

Thanks again,

Rob

Rob,

There should be an option in one of the Advanced Tabs when you are building the distribution CD/installer for Including your hardware configuration with the installation. (It should be something along the lines of "Include my Hardware Configuration"). Ensure that this is checked when you are building the distribution so that the hardware configuration can be associated with the program and not just the card. It sounds like moving the 6036 over with the system worked because it was already configured to read in F whereas a different card might now have been without the program storing the hardware configuration information.
