Labview executable file runs, but does not control instrument.

[posterman]

I have a Labview executable file that operates correctly on my laptop, but does not control the instrument from any other computer.

The executable is designed to control an Instek PSH3630 programmable power supply using a GPIB-USB-B or GPIB-USB-HS adapter. I created the vi in Labview 7.1, and was able to get it to correctly control the power supply. I then built the executable with all files included and no compression, and included the Labview 7.1 Runtime Engine. The executable runs correctly from my computer and controls the power supply, but when I install the executable with the installer, and then run the executable from any other computer the program runs, but does not take control of the power supply. Using the Measurement & Automation program I have verified that the GPIB-USB connection is working and the power supply shows up on the GPIB bus and returns its identification when queried. But the executable still will not take control of the power supply.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

Does your program use VISA and if so, did you install NI-VISA on the other computers?

Dennis,

That was the problem, I loaded NI-VISA and it works correctly.

Thanks,
