LabView Target VIs on a New Computer

Hello,

 

I'm trying to use a system that I inherited which is controlled by LabView and uses two remote systems for real-time measurements. Recently we were forced to switch our host computer with a backup and now it seems I cannot properly communicate with the target computers. When I bring up the project file in the Project Explorer, I'm greeted by yellow warning symbols next to the target systems' names, as shown in one of the attached images. Previously, we used a sub-vi for each target that would acquire data and place it in a shared variable which would then be used by each target vi, but now I cannot get any of that to work. I have just finished updating the software on the target computers to be compatible with that on the new host computer, but it seems this has not fixed the issue. The LabView file on the new computer is an exact copy of the one that was on the old computer. Could anyone provide some insight regarding why this code does not want to work and possibly some guidance on fixing the issue?

I'm fairly new to LabView, but I'll do my best to provide any additional information that may be needed.

Thanks

It's looking for cDAQ's.  Since they are at the same level of the tree as your computer, I'm guessing those targets are ethernet based.

 

Have you installed the correct version of DAQmx on your PC?

If you go into Measurement and Automation Explorer (NI-MAX) on this PC, can you find those targets?

Perhaps they are on a different network and can't be found?
