LabVIEW Installer Deploys Shared Variables but Not EPICS Server

Software

  • LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Runtime
  • LabVIEW
  • Distributed System Manager

Issue Details

When I use LabVIEW development mode to execute my code, the EPICS server can be successfully deployed and monitored in NI Distributed System Manager. However, after I build the program into an installer, deploy it to a new computer, and monitor it using NI Distributed System Manager, the shared variables are deployed successfully, but the EPICS server is not. Why does this happen?

Solution

To use the EPICS server, the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Runtime must be included on the deployment PC. Ensure that this runtime is incorporated into the installer or installed separately before executing the program.
