executable doesnt work

[cmaddox99]

I created an executable from a vi that worked fine.  However, when I created the executable, the executable doesnt work.  Also, someone else brought an executable from their machine to my machine that worked on their machine an it didnt work on my machine either.  One of the things i noticed on my oscilloscope from the executable that was brought to my machine by my co-worker, was that the communication rate slowed way down.  When running the vi itself, the communication rate was at the correcte baud rate, but ran as an executable, the rate was way out of spec and will not work against my target hardware.

When you say that the executable "doesn't work" can you say a bit more about that? What exactly are the issues that you are running into?

simply, I created a vi on my machine and when running the vi, the program will communicate with my unit under test, but when ran as an executable it will not.  A co-worker of my brought an executable from his computer and ran it on my computer and it didnt work, but it worked on his machine.  The problem seems to lie in the com port/ baud rate setting area.  Because, when viewing the communication on the scope, the vi's waveform has a much higher baud rate than the executable's.

Have you tried running your exe on your co-worker's machine?  If that works, you may need to update your VISA Run-Time Engine (I am assuming you are using serial communication for this...).  You can get the RTE here.
