remote panel / app bulder / external vi

[etki]

I'm trying to use the application builder in order to make standalone applications of the "remotepanel" example that NI delivers with Labview. It constists of the VIs RemotePanelMethods-Client.vi, the RemotePanelMethods-Server.vi and the PowerSpectrumMeasurement.vi.

Everything is fine when I run this example within Labview. I'm also capable to build an executable for the client that works with the server run within Labview.

But when I try to build RemotePanelMethods-Server.vi  and run it standalone as an exe I have problems with the PowerSpectrumMeasurement.vi.

I get the message, that PowerSpectrumMeasurement.vi is not loaded into the memory of the server side.

The path to PowerSpectrumMeasurement.vi  is correct within the executable - otherwise I will get another failure at startup of the executable - so everything seems to me set up - but it doens't work.

I would be very grateful, if someone could provide a useful approach how to build an executable for the server side / RemotePanelMethods-Server.vi .

Hi,

Do you use a Path Constant or a Relative paht? You can also try "dialog" as a path, so you will get pormpted and can manually choose the path. Just to be sure you get the right path.

Well, I tried bot relative and avbsolute path - in the original example it's a relative path - but I saved Power Sepectrum Maesurement.vi to C:\Temp\PSM.vi and reassigned the path in the Remote Panel Server vi. When I run it under Labview everything is working fine. But when I generate an application out of the Remote Panel Server vi I get no repsonse on the client side and instead the error messge

Angefordertes VI ist nicht lauffähig und kann daher nicht angezeigt oder gesteuert werden.

which means in english :

Requested VI cannot be executed and bcause of that can't be shown or controled.

I'm puzzled because the only difference is that I run it here as an application - and not under Labview 2010, where everything works fine.

Do I have to do something during the build process in order to "include" the Power Sepectrum Maesurement.vi  / C:\Temp\PSM.vi  ???

I think you should check the path. As you see in the Link below:

If the VI is part of a LabVIEW project, you must include the project name and the target in the VI name field.
For example: If MyVI.vi resides in a project called MyProject.lvproj under the target My Computer, enter the VI name as MyProject.lvproj/My Computer/MyVI.vi
Unlike the VI Name, the target name ( My Computer in the above example) is case sensitive.
