How build stand alone application without labview

I have main vi and contain the sub vi i need build stand alone application without labview
how build stand alone application without labview?
thank and regard

I assume that the poster means to run this on a computer without the development environment installed.  That is what the app builder is for. Review Altenbach's post.  This being said, there will need to be a runtime engine installed on the target PC. You can 'bundle' that with your build application and install it together, although I usually prefer Not to do that, and make that a seperate step because it is rather large, and if the target already has it, then it is wasted space.  Speaking of run time engine, I have seen negative reactions to it by my customers, but after sitting down and explaining that, with few exceptions, every application requires a run time engine. It is just that some are bundled with windows, or installed through windows update.  Once explained, it usually quiets the opposition. [Paul steps off soap box now]

  • I have trouble in building stand-alone application, "you must intall Labview run-time engine on any computer on which you want to run this application"

    I have installed the LabVIEW 7.0 run time engine and checked all in the advanced setup on the installer setup slide. but I still get such a message saying that the target computer needs to have LabVIEW 7.0 run-time engine. What I want is a real stand-alone application even without having labview ... I used to think that's due to my program contains MATLAB nodes. But this is not true, since even without Matlab, it's still wrong. Please help, thanks!!!

    As was stated elsewhere, you have the option of building the runtime engine into your application when you build it. However, you can also create a "runtime engine application" by simply opening the application builder and doing a build without adding any source code files. The result is a small program (named lvrt.exe) that can run any LabVIEW code--whether or not its built into an executable.
    Such an application can be helpful if you are wanting to install several LV-based applications on the same computer in that it reduces the amount of redundant code on disk. All you have to do is make sure that Windows on the target computer associates the llb and vi file extensions with the runtime engine program.
    It can also be helpful during testing to run test code that isn't built into an executable.

  • How to use matlab codes in a stand alone application without matlab license?

    Hi,
    I am not an expert in programming and i don't know about C++, i have a program using matlab codes and now i want to transfer it to a computer without matlab license. I've read something about using DLL, but i think i have to know C++ programming  to wrtie "WRAPPER" and add some lines to the program, now transformed in C++.
    I just would llike to know that really isn't any other way to integrate matlab for a stand-alone application? i read somethings in Matlab help about using COM (Common Object Model ) but i am not sure that labview works with it, and also about runtime engine and "mglinstaller.exe".
    my labview version is 8, matlab is 2006, and the real problem is using matlab codes in another computer without matlab license.
    Thanks
    Amir

    Hello Amir,
    There is a MatLab script node in the LabVIEW function palette (see screenshot of the help topic) but as you can see this structure is not in the "Base LabVIEW", you might need to purchase the FDS (Full Developpment System) or the PDS (Professionnal Developpment System) of LabVIEW...
    Do you know which one you have ?
    Hope this helps

  • Is it possible to have a user interface in a stand alone application without having LV

    Hi!
    I want to know if it's possible to build a stand-alone application in order to avoid purchasing LV and at the same time having a user interface to display data?
    I really want to know what are the advantages of the stand-alone applications and what are their limits of use?
    Thank u

    If you have the application builder (included in LabVIEW professional and above) you can make a LabVIEW application that can be distributed and run on machines that don't have LabVIEW installed. If you only have LabVIEW full, you can purchase it seperately.
    The target machine requires the LabVIEW runtime, which is freely downloadable from NI, or can be included with the installer of your application.
    Please have a look at the datasheet: http://www.ni.com/pdf/products/us/4msw55.pdf
    If still have more specific questions not mentioned in the above link, please ask.

  • Stand-Alone application with LabView 7.0 getting error can't find DAQmx clear task.vi

    I have attempted to create a stand alone vi with the Build Application or Shared Library(dll) in LabVeiw 7.0
    When I put it on another PC to test it I get the error "can't find DAQmx clear task.vi"
    the other PC has Labview 7.0 and DAQmx 8.1 also.
    I believe my problem is in the source tab where you are supposed to add support and dynamic vi's I have search the forums and Ni's data base and have not found a solution.
    Solved!

    Hi LabTech09,
    When you run the executable on the other computer is when you get this error?  Do you have the exact same versions of LabVIEW and DAQmx on both computers?  Does the dialog allow you to navigate to the DAQmx clear task.vi?  If so, you can find these VIs in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\vi.lib\DAQmx\configure\task.llb.  Does the executable work on the development machine (the machine it was compiled on)?

  • Stand-Alone Application including ocx, dll and Word template folder

    Hi,
    I try to create an Stand-Alone Application with labview 2011. My problem is how i can include ocx and dll file in my executable to be run by others computers (the other computer don't have the dll and the ocx using in the application). My program use Word template who is in a folder. How i can integrated this Template folder in my executable folder.
    This is the first time I create an executable, so please help me -_-.

    Hi nki,
    To include the ocx and dll files you will need to build an executable for your VI and then create an installer for the additional files. I have linked 2 documents that will explain each of these steps. If you have any questions with this let me know.

  • Setting Current Values as Default in Stand-Alone Application ?

    Hi
    I have a stand-alone application using LabVIEW run-time and I want the user to be able to make the choice if he wants to retain the default values or modify them ? I know you can't use the invoke node and set the current values to default because that works only in EDIT mode. I saw some postings where there was a talk about using configuration VIs. I am not sure how to use them. Also is there some other way I can accomplish this ?
    Thanks
    Sridhar
    P.S: I use LabVIEW 7.0
    Kudos always welcome for helpful posts

    I would use a configuration file to hold default values for my controls. When the vi starts, prompt the user to select default values or to modify. You can use a two button dialog to do this. Wire the output to a case structure. If the user selects default, read the config file and use the values to set your controls values. If the user selects modify, call a subvi that gives the user an interface to modify the values. You can start with the old default values. This subvi would have a loop, waiting for the user to press either a cancel button or a change button. If the user makes changes and presses the change button, exit the loop and write these new values to the config file. If cancel is selected, exit the loop and do not write to the config file. Upon returning to the main, read the config file and set the control values accordingly. You can even go a step further and create a "factory default" file. This file would be read only. The user can be given a choice to select this file in case he made changes and saved them to the config file, and the new changes were all screwed up.
    Config files are nothing more than a file containing keys which represents controls, and the data values for those controls. There are examples located at \examples\file\config.llb.

  • How to include dll into a stand-alone application

    Hi, I wrote a vi to process images from my camera, and I want to build a stand-alone application(exe), so I can share the application with my friends. I just do as wht's in  the Labview help, but when I run the exe file in other PC, it  tells me I haven't nivision.dll etc. My question is how to find out the dll files in my vi and include these files in the stand-alone application?  

    To be honest I am not sure. Its been a while since have used the vision run-time engine. Before I installed it on the target computer. I ddn't include it with my application build.
    Take a look at this http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1A9A18AA574ABEDF86256F780062C240 it might help. Also look at the documentation supplied with the vision deployment license.

  • Stand-alone application generates error with function 'Ramp Pattern' (bug in application builder?)

    Hello,
    in my program a main.vi links to a sub-VI via 'open VI reference' and 'invoke node'. In this sub-VI the function 'Ramp Pattern' is used. The program itself runs normally, but if I build a stand-alone application using application builder I get an error message 'error 1003 occurred ..'. I believe this error is directly related to the build specifications which are as follows: the main.vi is referenced in a main build specification, the sub-VI in its own specification where the target is a LLB.
    I appended an example-program that exhibits the error (when executing 'Application.exe' and pressing 'calculate ramp'). The error does not occur when disabling the 'ramp pattern' function and rebuilding the application.
    I would rate this to be a bug in the application builder and would appreciate any help on how to solve this problem. However, due to the structure of the whole program the sub-VI has to remain in its own LLB.

    There can be reasons why a VI might appear broken when loaded from an executable. For example, if you have different versions of the same VI or enum that differ in such a way as to break the calling VI, that can cause a broken arrow when loaded from the executable. If you have DLLs being called and the runtime engine can't find the DLL, that can cause a broken arrow that you might not see otherwise. Finally, there is a bug related to a VI appearing broken when its not.

  • Problems building a stand alone application with LV 8.6.1.

    I'm having problems building  a stand alone application with LV8.6.1. I'm using a USB- 6008 DAQ and USB-6501 Digital device in the application. I already have an simple executable on the machine so the Run time Engine is already installed.  For the USB DAQ device, I assume I need to include the DAQmx8.8 as one of the installers. When I attempt to build the application, I'm prompted for several disk, one being a distribuition disk 1. I have the installation disk for the developer package. I did not  see a distribuiton disk as one of the installation disks. When I insert disk 1 I get an error that another application is trying to run. Could someone tell me which installers I need to include and where do I find the "distributor" disk.
    Thank you,

    are you building installer for the first time on this PC?...It usually asks for the drivers CDs and some toolkits if required.
    you just need to use drivers CDs (comes with LabVIEW) from which you installed on this PC. If you have ever upgraded drivers, then you have to use the latest CDs only.......
    another issue may be ...when u insert the driver disk, it has autorun, it will launch drivers installation wizard....close that and then try to build distribution.........

  • How to use Preloader with stand-alone application in Eclipse? Thank you.

    My IDE is eclipse and my project is a stand-alone application(pure CS architecture with OSGI framework).
    How to use Preloader thus the preloader would be started before my main Application and hid later?
    I found some code in http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/preloaders.htm#BABGGDJG
    but I still don't know how to deploy the Preloader with my startup Application in OSGI framework.
    I give some code of my startup application below:
    public class MyPrjMain extends Application
        private static Stage primaryStage;
         public void start(final Stage stage)
            throws BusinessException
            primaryStage = stage;
            init(primaryStage);
            primaryStage.show();
    }Thanks very much, everybody.

  • How do you create a stand alone application using DAQmx when your application SCXI hardware isn't on the computer I am using to create the application?

    How do you create a stand alone application using DAQmx when your application SCXI hardware isn't on the computer I am using to create the application? The DAQmx assitant won't allow me to create a task with hardware that isn't in my system.

    You will need to have at least the DAQ device in your computer to add the chassis. When you add the chassis, don't auto detect the modules. You will have to add the terminal blocks and tell MAX which SCXI module will be connected to the DAQ device. Just make sure you don't test the chassis, when its not there.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is there any way to restore a vi from a stand alone application

    I was trying to setup a datasocket write from a vi and was going to test the datasocket read. I received about 5 "Insane errors" when I hit run that seemed to reference Fieldpoint(the main vi reads from Fieldpoint). Completely bombed me out of labview and it seems that these errors totally wiped out the main program...The file is still in the directory titled the same, but at 0kb and when I open it is untitled and completely blank no code no nothing. The only backup I have is a stand alone application. Is there any way of getting back to the block? First time I've ever seen Labview erase the entire program contents...lesson learned I guess.
    Thanks in advance,

    I've never heard about something like this, but first rule anyway - ALWAYS (ALWAYS!!!) BACKUP.
    As for the answer - if you built the application with the default settings, you can't extract the BD because there isn't one, only compiled code. Some people build applications as collections of LLBs, which they can then replace, without replacing the EXE itself, but I'm assuming this isn't your case.

    Hi GardW
    All comm. problem are handeled.
    The problem was based on the destinations for the .VI's.
    Labview 7.1 isn't so got to manage these. It's something the user got to be carefully about.
    Allmost solved. But now can't get the default 'labview Icon' to my finnished Application.  You know... when you make a stand alone application..
    then somewhere under the building process... you can choose if you want your own Icon added as the application starter icon! If you don't  choose any.. Labview makes the Labview Icon as your application starter Icon.
    And that is my problem now. Any ideas???
    Thanks for trying to help , i appriceate it !!
