National Instruments Corporation 8-3 LabWindows/CVI Programmer Reference Manual
National Instruments recommends that your installation program modify cvi.ini,
.cvi.ini, or the Registry, automatically. Under Windows 3.1, the modini program is in the
LabWindows/CVI
bin subdirectory for this purpose. A documentation file called
modini.doc and the source code are in the same directory.
Under Windows 95/NT, the
modreg program is in the LabWindows/CVI bin subdirectory
for this purpose. A documentation file called
modreg.doc and the source code are in the
same directory.
Assume that you install two
.fp files in the following locations:
c:\newlib\liba.fp
c:\genlib\libb.fp
If liba depends on libb, you must add the following path to the user’s Instrument
Directories list:
c:\genlib
For LabWindows/CVI to be able to find the dependent file under Windows 3.1 and UNIX,
your
modini command file must be,
add InstrumentDirectories InstrDir "c:\genlib"
After the user installs the library files, the modini program must be run on the user’s disk
using
cvi.ini and the command file.
For LabWindows/CVI to be able to find the dependent file under Windows 95/NT, your
modreg command file must be,
setkey [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments]
appendkey CVI\@latestVersion
add InstrumentDirectories InstrDir "c:\gewlib"
After the user installs the library files, the modreg program must be run on the user’s disk
using the command file.
Caution LabWindows/CVI must not be running when you use the modini or
modreg
program to modify
cvi.ini or the Registry. If LabWindows/CVI is running while
you use these programs, you will lose your changes.
