building PC application with bluetooth

[fadenoid]

I am having severe trouble building a LabVIEW 7.1 PC application using the resident bluetooth PC VIs available in LabVIEW, although the VI runs perfectly within the environment.

I have XP Pro and have tried the executable with both Service Pack 1 (including Q328183 update), and SP2. The hardware I'm using is a TDK go blue USB dongle and I'm attempting to set up a client server link with an HP2210 running a PDA Server app I've created.

The Device Search function does not seem to work for remote devices although in environment it is fine. Bypassing this function and using the known address of the h2210 I'm trying to connect to does not work either when using the open and write Bluetooth VIs.

Is there a setting I need to make within the application builder to take into account these VIs?

Cheers,

Hello Fadenoid,

Thanks for your post.

Apologies for the long turnaround in replying to your query.

The situation you've described is actually a known issue within LabVIEW 7.1. Corrective action is being investigated. As the issue is integral to LabVIEW there is no setting within v7.1 that will fix this.

A known workaround is to discover your device(s) in the development environment, record the specific device addresses, and feed those explicitly into the rest of your VI before you build it into an executable.

For information on fixes etc in newer versions of LabVIEW please check our website www.ni.com/labview.

Let me know how you get on with this workaround. If you have any further questions on this issue feel free to reply to this post.

Regards,
