External DMM Not Communicating with LabVIEW Executables

[Kody]

Hi,

I currently have a system of power supplies connected with GPIB and a Agilent E34405A DMM connected via USB.  The system works fine when I use the full Labview program, but when i make a executable and installler and put it on another machine I cannot get the DMM to communicate the power supplies work fine and so does my other equipment.  Any thoughts?

check in the Max , whether the DMM is detected and query the Instrument ID.

Is the DMM recognized in Windows device manager and the USBTMC  driver loaded on the target system ?

The instrument shows up in NI MAX, I will try to query it today and let you know how it goes.

If your LabVIEW program uses NI-VISA you will need to load NI-VISA Runtime on the target PC.

I got the Executable working.  There was a sub vi I didn't know about looking for the insturment name from a text file that didn't exist and caused an issue.
