build application with instrument I/O assistant VI

[jvzs]

I'm having some trouble trying to build an application of a VI that uses the instrument I/O assistant. When the application is built and openned it's impossible to configure the visa resource name, so the instrument assistant can't identify from where the data is coming and the application doesn´t work. Is it any problem in the configuration when building the application?

If you have a front panel control for the resource name and if you've designed your program so that data entry can be done before the assistant is called, there should be no difference between the built app and the development app. By default, a built app will be set to run when opened and you should take this into account. A VI should not require clicking on the Run arrow to start/ You can enable this in VI Properties>Execution.

Just in Addition:

You should not use the VI property to make your executable not to run. It's better to programm your VI in a way that you have to enter the parameters first and then they will be passed to the original code and it starts.
