I have a LabVIEW executable (made with the application builder) that needs to be distributed among a number of PC's in several locations. The application uses VISA to communicate to serial devices. I understand that I need to install NI-VISA on each of the users PC's and I have a couple questions:
1. Is there an easy way to include VISA with the Application Installer so the user only needs to run 1 install program? 2. I need the application to automatically find the comm ports on each user's PC. The "VISA resource name" control on my front panel lists these ports using the "ASRL1::INSTR" format. Is there any way to get the control to list the conventional "COM1" notation? I tried copying the visaconf.ini into the same directory as the executable but that did not work.
