labview NI DAQ application with no daq hardware

[LVDEV]

1)LabVIEW 6i & NI DAQ with PCI 6023 E card:Support required for Application installation with no hardware and NI DAQ software drivers on target system.

Hello
I have prepared an installation application with
LabVIEW 6i and NI DAQ built-in functions with PCI
6023 E card.
I install this application on a system, which does
not have NI-DAQ driver software and PCI 6023 E
card hardware,and then I try to excute Application,
it starts up, but with the Error Messages stating
that it requires/ does not find DAQ functional vis
and drivers.

I wish to install my application and excute it
without getting the Error messages and must be able
to do the other tasks with the applic
ation created
for. And I dont want to install NI-DAQ software and
Hardware.

Guide me on this, with any possible ways.
Thanking in advance.
SN.

I think this is possible with the LabVIEW Student Edition. It is not possible with the current LabVIEW Base, Full or Prof. edition though...

You're going to have to redesign your application so that the DAQ VI's are called dynamically and are not embedded in it. You can look at the Plug-In Architecture example under Examples>Advanced>Execution Control>Dynamic Loading of VIs as one way to do this.

Here is one approach: save a copy of each VI that calls a DAQ function.
Save the copy with the same name in a different folder called Dummy.
ENSURE you check the box "save without updating callers".

In that Dummy folder, edit the VIs to remove DAQ calls & return fake
values: zero, 5 VM, random values, whatever is appropriate.

Now preload all the dummy VIs, load up your main applicaiton, and you
will have an application that runs without DAQ.
Make an executable & install it.

This is a useful trick that predates dynamic loading, & you need not
rewrite your VIs to use dynamic loading.
You'll get up & running quicker.

(In the long run, you would need to write these dummy VIs anyway for
dynamic loading.)
