Hello,
I have created a stand-alone application using the Application Builder from a vi created in LabVIEW 8.2 (Professional Development System). The vi is designed to communicate serially with a stepper motor pump via RS-232. The machine in which the vi was created in is running Windows XP, a PCI-6259 DAQ card, and a SCB-68 Connector Block. Both the vi and the executable run fine on this system.
I am trying to run this executable on a machine without LV installed on it. I have installed the LV 8.2 Run-Time Engine on to this machine (via an Installer) as well as NI-DAQmx. This machine is running Windows XP, a PCI-6259 DAQ card, and a SCC-68 Connector Block.
My problem is this... When I run the executable on the machine without LV, the program stops after performing only a small fraction of the entire program. Looking at the original vi, it seems to be stopping when it reaches the point where it is to perform the "Close Serial Driver.vi". At this point of the vi, there should be no communication between the pump so I believe it is an installation issue. Also, I have used the specific software for this pump and I have determined that the serial communication is working properly.
Would anyone be able to give me some advice on what I am doing wrong?
Thank you very much,
Karin
