Using Labvview Runtime and sending and alert E-mail

[JoePiazza]

Hello,

My company hired an outside company to do some advanced programming with Labview for some Data aquisition and alerts. Our test stands that these programs were placed on is only using Labview Runtime and not a devlopers version of labview. As a side note, my company also has a devloper version of labview but not the full expertise to create the type of program we needed. 

I am trying to retro-fit the one of the programs that the company built with a STMP e-mail VI. The only problem is that I can not seem to get the block diagrams to open up in either the runtime or the developers version. Is it possible to retrofit with an alert email without being able to access the block diagrams of the VI's we can upload into our teststands?

Thanks,

-Joe

You won't be able to open the block diagrams in a runtime version.  The block diagram code is already compiled into and .exe.

What do you mean by it won't open in a "developer's version".  Is it an .exe you are trying to open?  If so, same situation.

Do you have the .vi files?  These should be able to open in the development environment unless you have some version conflict.  What kind of error messages are you getting?

Even if you do have a .vi of the correct version that will work with your development environment, there is still a chance you can't open it completely if it was saved with the block diagrams removed.

Without block diagrams, I think it would be impossible or nearly so to add in and SMTP e-mail function.

Hello JoePiazza,

Unless you have a .vi file with the block diagram enabled. You will not be able to access the code from that program. You can contact the developer who created the program and request to send you the VI file.

Some executable can have a debugging option but they are just for monitoring purposes, not for programming.

Best Regards,
