There is this Test Rig automation code developed and running the last few years . It was done in LV2017.
Now there is a new requirement for adding on some data base operations for handling the test results .... till date it was managed with a simple CSV file , of course with some extra work to get the data that is required fast.
So the client had shared the relevant VI with the DB team who added the code ( it just takes the test result CSV data and posts to a DB ) and sent back the VI. Now when I open it on my system, its broken as I do NOT have the data base toolkit.
OK easy option is to buy a Data Base toolkit license - something which we never us normally.
What is the other option in such cases when a user develops part code with a unique tool kit and wants to share only the run time ? Can they create a small software package with a simple API ? All it requires is input as a CSV record and output to a DB file to start with. Once data is pumped into the DB they have a separate package for data analysis.
