DSC run-time v8.0

[slybacon]

I am wondering if an application built using the LabVIEW DSC module v7.1 will run successfully with the latest DSC run-time version 8.0?  I've been told that we can no longer purchase the 7.1 DSC run-time and so am looking for a route forward to support further deployment without upgrading our development software.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

DSC module version 8 is quite alot different in some aspects from DSC version 7.1 with use of global variables etc and you may also find for example some features that are no longer supported in DSC 8, such as Launch Engine.vi. You will have remove/replace these VIs in order to run. for such reasons it would be advisable to use the same revision run-time engine with the appropriate revision of DSC. It is a question of just how much reengineering has gone on with the runtime engine to account for new features and whether they support old ones too.

You must use the same runtime version as the development version.  The 8.0 runtime is completely different from previous versions.  The tag engine, TCE, and runtime launch UI are all gone.  In 8.0 your application will be built into an executable.  In the 8.0 development system there are compatibility VIs to take the place of olders VIs like Launch Engine.
