In LabVIEW 7 Application Builder go to the Installer Settings Tab->Advanced Button and select Serial Port Support. This includes a minimal version of NI-VISA for serial support. No MAX is installed though. >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. The visaconf.ini file belongs into C:/VXIPNP/<OSVer>/NIVisa. Replacing this with one from another computer is probably not such a great idea. You could however look in your file in the section [ALIAS] and make sure you add the missing information to the file on the new computer for instance during startup of your application.
