LabVIEW PDA Module - Bluetooth Drivers

[eic09632]

Hello,

i'm using LabVIEW PDA Module in developing an application that can read barcodes. My application was intended to use a barcode scanner to read the barcode and then send it to my application running in the PDA using bluetooth. The problem happened when i tried to download and execute my application to the PDA. The following error appeared on the PDA: "Bluetooth ERROR - Unable to load Bluetooth library LVBtw.dll". After reading some docs, i realised that the problem was that LabVIEW PDA Module only works with WIDCOMM drivers and my PDA has Microsoft drivers. I even considered installing the WIDCOMM drivers on my PDA but it is not possible. As you can imagine this is a big problem to my application.

I would to know why there this limitation and if there will a future solution for this limitation.

I don

LabVIEW PDA Bluetooth functions currently only work with Widcomm/Broadcom Bluetooth drivers. But Microsoft Bluetooth drivers support serial port emulation, so you can create PDA applications using Serial I/O VIs to communicate with Bluetooth serial ports.

We are aware of the need for Microsoft Bluetooth support and are currently looking into it.
