I am working on developing a labview application on a remote computer. I then build the application as an EXE and distribute it to another computer. I have run into a problem, when I try to run the program. I have a drop down box that I can select the communication VISA serial source. When I refresh this drop down menu, it only returns the Ethernet device. My COM1 and COM2 ports are not an option for this menu. I have tested the port through hyper terminal, but I am unable to select it from the labview files I compiled in Labview 8.0.
I do not know, as I have no way to test that. Since I can only install the runtime engine, I cannot run a regular VI on this machine. Do you know of any other ways that I can do that on this machine that does not have a full version of labview installed?
In order to see the serial ports in the VISA resource name meny, you will need to install either NI-VISA, or the NI-VISA runtime engine on your target computer. You can find downloads for both here.
