TDM storage, build application

[nottilie]

Dear experts

I have currently a strange problem.
I am using a serial device where I pick up my data, then parse the input string and finally write it to a file using the NI storage vi's to save to TDM file format.

It works very well in the development system of labview 8.20

Now I build an application, checked all the paths that it should work in the "stand alone" application.
When I start the saving process I can select(create) a filename where it should store my data but finally the file does not exist anywhere on my system.

Are there some strange shings which I have to check to solve this problem.

Thank you

Gernot

Often paths are a problem when moving from the development environment to an executable.

Are you using the mentioned VIs in your application?

In order for the Storage VIs to work on a machine that doesn't have LabVIEW, DIAdem or CVI on it, you need not only the LabVIEW Runtime Engine, but also a component called USI. Until LabVIEW 8.0, USI was part of the LabVIEW RTE, but it is now a separate installer that you need to select in LabVIEW's application builder. It will then be integrated with the installer LabVIEW builds for your application. You can verify whether or not USI is on your machine by looking into your "Program Files" path, subidrectory National Instruments/Shared/USI.

Hope that helps,
Herbert
