Which IAK File Does LabVIEW Use to Get Information Regarding My FieldPoint Configuration?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Professional Development System
Primary Software Version: 8.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Compact FieldPoint

Problem:
How do I know which IAK file is being accessed in LabVIEW when communicating with my FieldPoint hardware?

Solution:
IAK files store all of the configuration information for FieldPoint hardware.  The IAK file that LabVIEW uses to access your FieldPoint configuration depends on how you're using LabVIEW (Project Explorer, VI or executable) and which FieldPoint VI you're using to communicate with your hardware (IO Control, Get Configuration, or Legacy VIs). The table below describes which IAK file is accessed in each situation.

	Project Explorer	Stand  Alone VI	VI as an EXE
FieldPoint IO VI	IAK file associated with the project	IAK file that was last opened	IAK file distributed with the EXE
FieldPoint Get Configuration Info VI	IAK file associated with the project	IAK file that was last opened	IAK file distributed with the EXE
Other legacy VIs (FieldPoint Open, FieldPoint Create Tag, FieldPoint Read, FieldPoint Write, etc.)	IAK file that was last opened	IAK file that was last opened	IAK file that was last opened
