I am using LabVIEW 2012 SP1, programming a cRIO 9074. Is there a simple way to determine the version number that a real-time application has been built 1) before deployment i.e. while it sits as a .rtexe on my Windows machine; 2) after deployment i.e. while it sits on my cRIO; 3) and if the application is executing. On Windows I can right-click a Windows .exe and see File Version, Language, Comments, etc... Is it possible to do the same from an .rtexe? If not, is there code I can embed in my RT code to make determination possible? I've noticed that you can set version information within an RT Build Specification, but how you subsequently get at it I have no idea! Thanks for any help.

Determining an RT Application Version

Rolf,

Have you submitted an Idea Exchange to add the RT Application Version to the .rtexe file? I (and other readers of this Thread) would be glad to Kudo it and get the Developers to incorporate these settings.

I haven't, but Scott Hannahs did already here. Lets go kudo it all, only maybe 200 kudos more before LabVIEW development will have a hard time to find an excuse for not doing it. 😀
