Configuration Option Descriptions
The LabWindows/CVI Runtime recognizes various configuration options. The installation program for the runtime automatically sets the required configuration options for you.
You also can manually set the configuration options for the LabWindows/CVI development environment. You can set the runtime configuration options in a similar manner, but you must set the configuration options in the Registry under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments\CVI Run-Time Engine\cvirte
![]() |
Note To set the configuration options for a LabWindows/CVI Side-by-Side Runtime, you must create the following Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments\CVI Run-Time Engine\cvirtesxs\major.minor.tiny major.minor.tiny corresponds to the version of the LabWindows/CVI Side-by-Side Runtime for which you want to set configuration options. You can then manually add the configuration options under the Registry key. |
cvidir
cvidir specifies the location of the directory that contains the bin and fonts subdirectories that the LabWindows/CVI Runtime requires. You need to enter this registry entry only if the runtime bin and fonts directories are not under the Windows system directory and not under your application's directory.
useDefaultTimer
The LabWindows/CVI Runtime recognizes the useDefaultTimer option. This option has the same effect in the LabWindows/CVI Runtime as it has in the LabWindows/CVI development environment.
DSTRules
The LabWindows/CVI Runtime recognizes the DSTRules option. This option has the same effect in the LabWindows/CVI Runtime as it has in the LabWindows/CVI development environment.
UNIX Options
(Linux) The LabWindows Runtime recognizes the activate, appFont, dialogFont, editorFont, menuFont, messageBoxFont, useDefaultColors, useMetaKey, and warpMouseOverDialogBoxes options under UNIX platforms. They have the same effect as in the LabWindows/CVI development environment.
