Hi ! My VI communicates with my instrument using the serial port. I configure the port using 'VISA Configure Serial Port', creating a front panel control for the input 'VISA resource name'.
When I create an executable with the Application Builder, and install the exe on another pc, I can no longer communicate with the instrument and the VISA Resource control is greyed out, i.e. I cannot select between COM1 and COM2 etc. However, the control and the VI work fine as an exe when run on the original pc.
On the PCs where I want to run the exe, I can communicate fine with the instrument using Hyper Terminal. Original PC = win2000, labview 6.1, other PCs where exe installed = win98 & win95.
Any suggestions ?
