Dialog for browsing DAQmx channels looks different on a PC without LV Development System

[Baobob]

Hello!

When I browse for NI cDAQ physical channels from my development PC (Windows 7 64bit, LabVIEW 2013), the following dialog shows up:

This screenshot is the stand-alone executable. And the resulting string is: "cDAQ2Mod1/ai0:2". Perfect.

However, when I run the very same executable on a machine that does not have LabVIEW Development system, but only runtime environment 2013 (automatically included with the installer), the dialog looks like this:

The windows is tiny and not resizable, so it won't let the user see the whole row, there no nice tree structure, and the resulting string is: "cDAQ9181-18B96FEMod1/ai0,cDAQ9181-18B96FEMod1/ai1,cDAQ9181-18B96FEMod1/ai2" which is much less readable than cDAQ9181-18B96FEMod1/ai0:2"

Apart of that, the applications work well.

Is it possible to obtain the 1st dialog box on a PC running only the runtime environment?

Thanks,

Baobob

On the second machinem, is Measurement and Automation Explorer installed?

I don't know why you'd get two completely different dialogs, not just in the items listed, but the overall appearance.  But maybe the dialog is something that is a part of MAX in the first case, and some other module in the second case.

What DAQmx components are installed (and version)

Hi Ravensfan and Jeff, thank you for your answers,

The installer build specification properties for that application is as following:

MAX is not among the recommended installers, and therefore is not present on the lab PCs.

Thanks again

I have not had the pleasure to use the new auto-select feature yet.  But, it looks like the minimal reqs are identified nicely.  perhaps a slightly bloated installer would serve better in this case. 

Install VISA or something and get MAX on board.

Jeff,

Below is the list of installed NI softwares (added MAX and VISA to the installer):

But the weird browse windows is still here.

Do you have in mind another component I could add?

Thanks

DAQmx Configuration support for MAX

It seems that DAQmx Configuration support for MAX was the one. Thank you!
