daq exe does not work on another computer

[spider_1112002]

I have a program written with CompactDAQ using DAQ express VI. It has 4 thermocouple modules and one analog input module attached to it. The vi works on development computer. I made execuable and it does not work on other computers. I have installed all other drivers (VISA runtime and DAQmx) on other computers. I can communicate using VI logger on other computers. Please suggest what can be wrong? How do I correct it?

Thanks

Hi Piyush,

You didn't mention what language your executable was written in. If it's a LabVIEW executable then your other computers will also need the LabVIEW Run-time Engine. The version of the Run-time Engine must be the same as the version of LabVIEW on which the executable was developed. All version of the Run-Time Engine are found at:

Hope this helps!

Thanks Spears. Yes, my application is in LabView 8.0 and I have Run-Time engine installed on other computer as well. In fact, I found the solution to my problem today. You will need to configure daq task in the MAX on other computer as well in the same manner that you have configured on original computer.

You should post a new question instead of posting to such a old thread.

Since you only mention 'engine', I'm going to assume that you did not install the DAQmx driver and if you created a task in MAX, you probably didn't include that either. You should create an installer and include DAQmx (you have different options that affect the size of the install) and you should probably export your MAX configuration and make that an additional installer.
