How to include required hardware drivers (eg Agilent E5515C) to installer?

[Eva Cheung]

Please advice how to include the reqiured instrument driver to the installer?

Hi Eva,

Many instrument drivers that are specifically for LabVIEW are simply a group of VIs. Most of the time, when you use these VIs in a project, they are automatically included under Dependencies. LabVIEW should add only the VIs you used in your project and you can see what gets added by expanding Dependencies.

I’m not sure about the E5515C, but if it is similar to most drivers for Agilent equipment, you can probably manually add the libraries (.LLB) to the project under My Computer. By dragging and dropping a .LLB on My Computer in your project, you should see a folder created and that folder should contain all the VIs in that .LLB. These can then be set as source files in the installer and will be place on the target machine.

Finally, if your ultimate goal is to have the instrument driver installed on the target machine in the same way as it is on your development machine, this is probably best left as a separate install. The information in the two above paragraphs is relevant to simply distributing a working application not recreating a development environment.

Thanks Eva,

       I can see my instrument .dll file and all of the vi files under dependencies but I still get a message looking for the dll when I run the executable. Any ideas on that? thanks

Hi Albert,

What is the model number of this Wireless Test Manager?

What exactly do you mean by it not working?  What happens and what doesn't happen?

Did you follow the instructions of the driver on how to use it?
