Owning Palette: Libraries & Processes VIs

Installed With: DSC Module

Loads the variables in one or multiple LabVIEW project libraries into the Shared Variable Engine on the host computer. The variables are in a running state. Because this operation is available only on the host computer, any VIs contained in the project libraries remain unaffected.

Details  

	library paths specifies the paths to the LabVIEW project library (.lvlib) files that contain configuration information for the shared variables and I/O servers you want to load into the Shared Variable Engine. Enter the full paths to the .lvlib files, such as C:\data\data1.lvlib. If you enter only the filenames of the .lvlib files, LabVIEW loads the files from the directory in which the VI that calls the Deploy Libraries VI resides. Note  If the VI that calls the Deploy Libraries VI is part of a built application, and if you specify relative library paths, LabVIEW loads the .lvlib files from the directory in which the built application resides.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.

Deploy Libraries Details

If you want to use the Deploy Libraries VI in a built application to deploy project libraries to a Shared Variable Engine on a target machine, do not build the project libraries into the application. Instead, the project libraries must reside outside the built application in a directory on the target machine.

Note  If you deploy libraries programmatically that contain both shared variables and VIs, LabVIEW generates error code 1 and does not deploy the libraries to the engine. Deploy the libraries manually to avoid the error.
