Saving entire VI including subVI's, .dll's and so on

[JeroenM]

Hi,

for school we had to build a Vision application to count the black dots on dices. It works! Only one problem: we want to run this VI on other pc's too.

The application was built on a pc with 'Labview Full edition'. If we save our VI and try to run it on other pc's with Labview Student edition the VI asks (logically) for the subVI's and sub-subVI's. If we save our VI including all the subVI's and sub-subVI's and try to run it again, the VI still misses some VI's and files. Files we are missing are:

imaq fillhole

imaq getimageinfo

imaq roitomask

imaq and

imaq rejectborder

imaq particle filter 2

particle parameters

imaq particle analysis

imaq extract

reject border for rotated rectangle.vi

overlay results (blob).vi

imaq usb.ctl

How can i get these files? Because i searched the entire pc on which the Vision application works and nowhere on this pc i can find the files mentioned above, and searching all the Labview libraries is donkey work.

Can i download these files somewhere? Or maybe even better: can i save our entire VI including all the subVI's, .dll's, .ctl's and so on???

Thank you very much!!!

Which version of LabView are you using - 7 or 8?

Looks like you have not installed the relevant IMAQ/ Vision Acquisition software on the other system.

If you have, check this link which explains how to install Vision drivers on LabVIEW student edition

Just install it and your VI's should work fine

At school we have Labview 7, on the other pc's 8...

The file at the given link (DriverCD.zip) is already installed from the cd included in my student edition version

The PC that developed the project must have had the NI Vision Development Module installed.  The Vision drivers will allow you to acquire images from hardware but will not supply the VI's you listed to analyze the pictures.  You will probably have to contact your administration/IT to get the Vision development module installed.  It doesn't come with the student addition AND it is also an addon to LabVIEW full/professional.

(i.e. this is an advanced addon, it is separte from the base labview installation, and I think it requires separate licensing)

I should also mention there is another option/possibility.  You may have developed the vision application with "Vision Builder (for automated inspection)".  This stand-alone configuration software would have actually generated the labview code VI's for you.  It is also a separate addon and would probably need to get installed on the target machine to run the program you developed.

Check out this webpage for more info on Vision software to aid you in what version you are looking for.

As a different option, you can try to build the vi into an executable using the Build Application tool.  The resulting exe file should be able to be run on the other computer as long as the other computer has the Labview runtime engine, lvrt.dll.  You won't be able to edit on the other computer, but it will run as a plain old application.exe.
