How do I read citadel data without LabVIEW installed?

[Dan@NIST]

I have a computer with the DSC module installed and is logging data into the Citadel databae on that machine. Periodically I copy the raw data over to a

separate network drive for backup. I delete the original copy to save space. I have an engineer who wants to analyze the data, but does not have LabVIEW installed on his Windows XP 64-bit machine. What is needed to allow him to view the data.

Dan,

In order to analyze the data, they will need LabVIEW DSC Run-Time to access the Citadel 5 ODBC driver.  They will then be able to view the contents of the files through using SQL queries.

Please see the following KB: Retrieving Data from a Citadel Database Without Lookout or the LabVIEW DSC Module Installed for more information.

Hello Jared_B,

Thank you for your response to my question. Will the DSC Run-Time install on a 64-bit OS? I could not find one that listed Windows XP Pro 64-bit.

Dan,

Woops!  Sorry I didn't even notice that in your first post.  Currently, National Instruments Application Software (ie - LabVIEW) is not supported on Windows XP x64.  Please see the following KB Article: Are National Instruments Products Compatible with 64-bit Windows XP x64 Operating Systems?

Jared,

Nothing to worry about. Thank you for the information and confirmation on the Windows XP x64 not being supported.
