I have a problem here where I have 2 computers, I'll call them A and B, where A is a laptop that has the full LabVIEW software installed on it, but B is the desktop actually used in the lab to connect to the machine (company setup, not of my choosing). The NI device used here is USB 6218. I can temporarily connect A to the device (which connects to the machine) when I'm testing programs, but ultimately B is the one that will stay.
So my usual thought process is I'll write a VI on A, make an EXE file (and installer) out of it, and run those on B.
My question is, since I'm using the DAQ Assistant, if I create a simulated device in A, usually the instructions call for changing the physical channels in the DAQ once a real device is connected. That's fine, except once it's made into an EXE file and put on B and connected to the real device, I can't edit anything anymore.
There's probably a simple answer to this -- kudos to anyone who can help.
