Global Channels, calibrations with Linux Application builder

[jchrisj]

I'm running LabVIEW under Linux. I have a primary system that I use for one of our experiments that also serves as my primary development system. I have another Linux system that is used for a different experiment. My plan is to write the code on the development system and use the Application Builder to create the code for the second system.

The major problem I'm having is that the hardware configurations aren't the same. The development system has a PCI-6221 with an attached SC-2345 (named SCCA) and a PCI-6123. The other system has a pair of PCI-6221s, one with a SC-2345 (SCCB) and the other has a PXI system attached.

I've got Global channels defined on both SCCA and SCCB, and each of these channels except for the thermocouples have associated calibrations.

I can easily write the basic code for the application on the development system, the problem I have is dealing with the global channels and calibrations. The hardware for the second system doesn't exist on the development system so I don't have the hardware defined under DAQmx when I am creating the calibrations or global channels.

Remember, this is Linux so I don't have the windows tools like Max to help.

Any suggestions are welcome.

jchrisj,

We are looking into your question and will get back with you soon. Your patience is appreciated.

jchrisj,

I escalated this question to some of our resident Linux experts and have posted their feedback below:

"You can try exporting your device configuration from a deployment machine to your development machine. Details here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4620"

So I would end up with a mixed configuration to feed into nidaqmxconfig - part for the hardware on my development machine and part for the target machine?
