it is very simple q, i think 🙂 we have labview 7 and 2 DAQ cards from NI. we are developing an labview application that communicate over DAQmx drivers with our daq cards.
what's the best way to export our labview application so that it can runs on every windows machine WITHOUT labview 7, i mean that should be possible. (and what with DAQmx driver???)
You have to build executables using labVIEW application builder and deploy your application in the machine w/o LV development s/w.
However, you need to install LV run time and DAQ mx drivers (free download)installed in the deployment machine. You can search NI knowledge base articles on how to build executables (follow procedural steps) to build executables.
You can also build an installer using the same LabVIEw application builder, where you can add DAQmx drivers as support files for silent install. This will enable you to just run the setup.exe, which will automatically install LV runtime and DAQmx driver without you manually installing them in your deployment machine. Select tools option in LabVIEW menu bar and look for build application or shared lib raries option to create executables.
thats very nice idea with installer and bundle with DAQmx drivers. but how i know what files (driver) exactly my application use... i mean, driver for one daq card is not just one file?
You would just install the same NI-DAQ driver package that you install on your development system.
The driver is a package that works with all of the NI-DAQ cards. So it all just gets installed once, then it's there for everything.
