Installer Not working for NI USB 6003 on Floor Computers

[Iron_Hide]

Hi,

I am using a NI USB 6003 for our line loop temperature control and I made an installer for the code, and I installed it on the floor computers and it’s not working, but the installer and the executable works off from the development computer. I thought installer would automatically install all the necessary files and drivers needed.

So once I installed the installer on the floor computers and opened the application I see that there is not voltage being read or no output being sent. But once I tried running the installer/application/executable off the development machine, ii see that it works off from it. 

I am guessing the floor computers would need MAX installed on it too, am I right ?? 

I hoping I could get some help, suggestions or recommendations from someone who has encountered this problem. All suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Thanks,

The floor computer would need NI Max, with the devices set up in the same configuration as your development computer if you are accessing things by name. This would need to include DAQmx Runtime as well.

When you make your installer, you can select those additional things in the "Additional Installers" section. Or you can just have those as prereqs in an installation guide.

Hi @ShockHouse

would the additional installer section have NI MAX too? I suppose I will have to install it separate.

NI MAX is included with all NI drivers. Installing NI-DAQmx runtime will install NI MAX.

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for helping out, turns out I had to manually install NI Max and change the device name (Dev1 to Dev3) to what is being called from the program and its working now.

Really appreciate the help guys, have an awesome day!!

Keep Tinkering.
