I would like to use the IVI drivers to simplify my application so I do not have to tie myself to specific assets. However, the end product is to be used on a computer that doesn't have labview installed, going to make it a standalone application. How does this work? Without MAX to map the logical_names, how does it know what to talk to? Is there some free version of MAX I can install on that computer to setup the mappings? Or can these mappings be defined inside the application. I do not see any options to do this.

If your application works wit IVI you can distribute it.
I've never done this with IVI.
In LabVIEW you can build installers and select to install MAX with it. So that is not a problem.
In practice not all IVI drivers are showing the saame quality.
