ULx Physical Channel Selection as Executable

[EvanGoodson]

Hello,

I am creating an executable application from my VI to eventually communicate with a 1408-FS and USB-TC. 

The main issue I have been getting is when I run the executable on another computer, I am unable to select the physical channels. 

I am new to trying out event structures, and I have not been able to get the needed results. 

The goal is to select the physical channels (as shown in the front panel picture) as an executable application.

Thank you,

Evan Goodson

Do you have the ULx drivers installed on the other computer?

Why can't you select a physical channel on a different computer?

LabVIEW is not installed on the other computer. The DAQs collect data though DAQami. 

Thank you,

Hi GerdW,

When I run the executable  on my computer, the drop-down appears displaying the device and analog inputs (dev#/ai#). 

When taking the executable application to the test computer, the drop-down is disabled.   

Thank you,

If that drop down box is not populating on your other machine I think you may need drivers for the devices. It's been a while since I worked with the USB-TC, but I recall I had to install DAQami or TracerDAQ (I don't remember which one) from MCCdaq to get an executable working ULx for LabVIEW 

Edit - I think DAQami and TracerDAQ were different programs

Missing drivers?

Hi Steven,

The computer where testing is taking place doesn't have LabView installed which denied me to download ULx. It uses DAQami to communicate with both the 1408 and the TC, and the hope is to incorporate it into a LabView application.

Thank you,

Looking under the hood it looks like the ULx LabVIEW VI's use a .NET constructor referencing "ULx_LV". I'm not sure how you would verify if that is installed on the computer though.

As a shot in the dark, when you installed the ULx for LabVIEW on the dev. PC there should be a ULx_LX.dll in Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 20xx\vi.lib\ULx. You can try copying that over to the target PC. Maybe in the same folder as the executable. Other than that, you might have to contact the company you got the device from.
