What's the cost of Labwindows run time engine

Dear Sir,
I have some questions about CVI and hope you can help me figure it out as usual.
1st, what's the advantage of labwindows against Labview? I know one is C programing environment and the other graphical environment. But the Labview seems more user-friendly.
2nd, What is run-time engine according to your definition? I know Matlab has similar component and is free of charge. Does the run time engine in Labwindows charge? If so, how much?
3rd, Previously, I thought labwindows is used to convert Labview program into C source code which is faster (how fast, compared with labview) and very popular in the industries, so companies do not have to buy labview and run it for just simple application in the field. But if the run time engine costs a lot, I can find no reason to use labwindows.
Thank you very much!

1) LabVIEW is a graphical based programming environment and
LabWindows/CVI is a C based programming environment.  Both can be used
for similar tasks.  Users familiar with C may prefer CVI.  LabVIEW is
typically easier to learn if you are unfamiliar with both.
 2) 
The Run-Time Engine is a separate component that can be installed to
execute LabWindows/CVI programs and LabVIEW programs.  It is free of
charge for both LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
3)  
LabWindows/CVI does not convert any LabVIEW programs into C code. 
LabVIEW programs are already compiled as you write them, so you won't
need to convert them to C to use them.  You should see similar
performance in similar LabVIEW and CVI code.

  • What is the diffrence between java run time env and JVM ?

    I wrote an applet on computer that installed run time env J2SE 1.4 that is running ok.
    when i try to run the applet on diffrent mechine that has earlier version my applet didn't run ok.
    Isn't enught just to install JVM ?

    The target mechine requirements should be more then
    only JVM installed ?
    do I have to ask for updated Run Time Env installed
    also ?Yes, you have to. If your program has been developed taking advantage of a certain version of the JRE, then all people using your program must have at least that version of the JRE.

  • What is "LabVIEW Run Time Engine"?

    I'm trying to find the differences between two computers that I'm troubleshooting.  One of them is my development system which has the whole Development Suite installed, and the other is a test station which has LabVIEW 8.0 Evaluation Version installed.  When I was looking through the list of programs in my development system (in Add/Remove Programs), I found a program named "LabVIEW Run Time Engine" and the size is 0.11 MB that is not in my test station.  I thought all the NI components are installed under "National Instruments Software" including the Run Time Engine...
    Does anyone knows what this is?
    See-Ming

    The Run Time Engine is a library of routines that a compiled Labview program needs to run on a system that doesn't have the development environment.  It is similar to Visual Basic's vbrun.dll, which compiled VB programs need to run.
    As far as I know, the run time engine gets installed whenever you install any Labview development environment.  This engine is usually only necessary when running a Labview program compiled to an exe format.  Both the exe and the run time engine can be installed on another computer so that the program can run without having to buy another development package for that computer.
    The runtime engine is called LVRT.DLL.  Search for it.  For version 7.1, the run time engine is in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\7.1\lvrt.dll

  • How can I uninstall Labview run time engine from the machine?

    I understand that Labview has not given any provision to show customized 'License Agreement screen'. Isn't it? This is the main cause of my problem. Since I want to show our own license agreement (LA) screen, I made the one using Labview. To show this license agreement screen, I first install a small application which has only this LA screen with Labview run time engine. The customer can see License Agreement Screen with Labview Run Time Engine on his machine. If My customer accepts the LA, I will install the main application further by calling another setup.EXE file.
    If my customer selects 'Do Not Agree' to the LA, I will quit the installation process. Here I also want to 'uninstall' Labview Run Time Engine
    from his machine since he doesn't accept License. I would like to know how to uninstall Labview run time engine from his machine?
    Another way which I could think is to run the LA screen from the CD with Labview run time engine on the CD. I will start installing the main S/W to the customer's machine with LABview Run Time Engine only after he accepts License agreement. I would like to know how to run the Labview application from CD without installing run time engine on the target machine?
    Can anyone suggest solution to my problem?
    Thanks,
    Chander

    J-Tek,
    I would suggest re-installing the Run-time Engine and then uninstalling it after a reboot. Also, you can download a program called Msicuu.exe (for NT, 2000, XP or Msicu.exe for 9x) to help clean up the registry for uninstalled programs.

  • LabVIEW VI with Report Generation Toolkit elements in a TestStand sequence does not run with a LabVIEW 8.5 Run-Time Engine

    Hi all,
    I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and TestStand 4.1. I have done a TestStand sequence with a VI in it, which uses Report Generation Toolkit elements. On my machine I am using LabVIEW and TestStand with a Development System license. On the other machine I am using TestStand with a Base Deployment license and I have chosen the LabVIEW 8.5 Run-Time Engine in the Adapter Configuration. Everything is running well except of this VI with Report Generation Toolkit elements. The error message is showing that the VI is not executable. It works well only after I have installed LabVIEW with an Evaluation license and chosen LabVIEW 8.5 Development System in the Adapter Configuration.
    I have found other posts and a document in the KnowledgeBase with a similar problem: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8A0E6274D9B​D7B1986256F62006AD402?OpenDocument But I am not using EXE files in my sequence, so I don't know how to solve mine. Anybody has an idea?
    Solved!

    Hello guys,
    thank you very much for your answers!
    @Ruediger:
    I tried to follow the instruction for Method 2 in the mentioned document: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F3DC40A6E3F​3B25B862570AD005D1D3D?OpenDocument, but the steps on my machine are different starting from step 4. After I click "Continue..." in step 3, I dont get a window, the system just makes a new folder with the same VI. 
    To be honest, I am new to LabVIEW and have some difficulties at this time. What I understood from your reply is, that I need to make a LLB-File, where the files from Report Generation Toolkit are in!?
    @GovBob:
    I was following the instruction in the document: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9E00E7EFE06​35E678625734600779EFE, but it wasnt working. Can you please tell me how I can check if the VI Server is installed and running on the machine?
    I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and TestStand 4.1 on my machine, on the deploy machine there is TestStand 4.1.1. The version of my Report Generation Toolkit is 1.1.2.

  • 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.

  • Installer Error of LabView Run Time Engine 6.0.2 "premature"

    I cannot Install the LabView Run Time Engine on a Computer which runs on Windows 2000.
    The Installation breaks on start with the Error Message: "Installation ended premature, because of an Error!"
    Does anyone know what to do is ?
    Thanks for Help

    It's rather difficult to guess why since the error does not give any more information, but there are a few things you can try. First, if you are installing from a CD, try downloading the installer to your desktop first and then run it. CD-ROMs can sometimes run slower that the installer and this can cause problems. Also, check to see what other NI software may have been installed on this machine and determine if any of it could conflict with the 6.0.2 Run-Time Engine. Just possibilities but hopefully they can get you going!

  • Distribute application without labview run-time engine

    I read a lot of post saying if the target machine has the same run-time engine installed, then I don't need to distribute the application with labview run-time engine. Somehow this rules doesn't work for me. I have a PC installed labview 2010 development system and has run-time engine 2011 SP1. I also download the same version of run-time engine and installed it in a target PC. When I distribute my labview application, if I select to include the run-time engine in build properties, the application will be able to install and run properly in the target machine; If I don't include the run-time engine, then I wouldn't be able to run the application.
    Does anyone help me on this? I don't want to always build the application with the run-time engine since it's quite big
    Solved!

    Could you take a look at my NI software list and let me know what labview run-time engine is really in use?
    And in build properties, it actually list addition installer include labview run time engine SP1. If I includes this version of run-time engine and run the installer in target machine, it will still install the run-time engines just like there is no run-time engine installed in the target machine before.

  • LabVIEW Run-Time Engine

    Hi ,I have used Application Builder to make EXE file from my source files but I have noticed it is not possible to use this EXE file in another PC without LabVIEW because LabVIEW run-time engine is needed so I tryed Installer
    but I have few questions and I would really appreciate if u help me
    1- What kind of source files should be added to the installer?  I would like to install an EXE file and Data folder  so do I need to first use the application builder to make the application then add all the application files(EXE and Data folder) one by one to the installer or Do I need to add my LV files to the installer and LV make exe and data folder again for me?
    2- I am using LV2010 and I would like to add run time engine for 2010 so I checked the box for LV2010 run time engine but many options are included to this engine like NI TDM,NI SSL etc ... and after making the installer I noticed the size of my file was so big (109MB) while I want to make a small size installer for email   .Is there any chance to reduce the size of installer by unchecking some of the options?
    Many thanks

    You build an executable first, then you build an installer for the executable. When building the installer, simply add the executable and LabVIEW will figure out what else is needed in the typical case.
    If you want a small installer, don't include the run time engine. Instruct your customers to donwload and install the free runtime engine from here.
    Make sure they install the "standard", not "minimum" version. Also make sure they install the 32 bit version if your LabVIEW 32 bit, even if they install it under a 64 bit OS.

  • Necessity of a run time engine

    > Veena
    I'm taking a guess here, Labview is an interpreted language and that means
    it needs something to convert the labview code into machine instructions,
    the converter is the Labview runtime engine.
    I think even if you create a *.exe file you need the runtime engine to run
    it. I don't have the full d
    evelopment version though so don't quote me on
    that.
    If you look in the help index for run-time engine you will find this answer
    "Using the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine
    If you create a system using LabVIEW that runs applications or shared
    libraries, then you must install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. The LabVIEW
    Run-Time Engine includes the libraries and other files necessary to execute
    LabVIEW-built applications and shared libraries. All client computers
    running LabVIEW-built applications and shared libraries must also have the
    LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installed.
    The LabVIEW Run-Time Engine also includes a browser plug-in that allows
    clients to view and control VI front panels remotely using a browser.
    All applications and shared libraries built with a particular version of
    LabVIEW will share the same LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installation, so only
    one installation is required. If you use applications or shared libraries
    that you create with different versions of LabVIEW (for example, 5.1,
    6.0,
    and so on), you must have the Run-Time Engine for each version of LabVIEW
    installed on the system.
    You can find an installer for the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on your LabVIEW
    CD. "

  • Error 1722 when uninstalling Labview run-time engine 7.1.1

    I have been trying to uninstall all NI software so I can start off with a clean slate. I have been going to the control panel under add/remove programs to remove the NI stuff. Everything is gone except the Labview run-time engine 7.1.1. Everytime i try to remove it, i get teh 1722 error followed by the 1603 error. I've tried repairing it but I still get the same results when i try to remove it agian. I've also tried removing it with MSI Blast. This did not work either. I've gone through the registry and manually deleted anything related to NI and that still didn't work. Is there anything else I could try?
    Thanks,

    Hey Steve,
    I have tried repairing it through the control panel.
    I tried reinstalling just the run-time engine and it said it was already installed. So I reinstalled Labview 7.1 and repaired the 7.1.1 run-time engine through the control panel. Then I uninstalled everything. Thanks for all your help
    Thanks again,

  • Run time engine compatibility

    I want to install a executable developped with LabVIEW 2009 and its run-time engine on a PC with LabVIEW 7.1. The executable is used to control an instrument by GPIB. The project in LabVIEW 7.1 use a digital IO board (PCI-DIO-32HS) and also use the GPIB board.
    I just want to make sure that installing the executable and LV2009 run-time engine will not cause any malfunction in the LabVIEW 7.1 VIs.
    Thanks

    Should be no problem.  LV 7.1 and 7.1.1 had some engine conflicts between them but I think you're safe with any 2009 executable.  If 2009 corupts 7.1 I'm sure someone would have seen it by now.

    Hi Dennis,
      When i built the application, I didn't build an installer into the project.  I pretty much followed the HELP in LV 8.6 example: Build a stand-alone application.
    The vi is mainly to read the TC signal and voltage signal from the computer connected to a scxi-1000 chassis and modules (scxi-1102 etc.)    Yes, the vi called the sub vi (like DAQmx  Created Channel [AI Temperature-Thermocouple].vi; DAQmx read.vi etc.).  When I built the exe file, I have placed these vis into "always included" under "source file" category.  Thank you.
