How to compile a LabVIEW VI into a standalone .exe programme? (LV8.5.1 student edition)

Hi,
I have LabVIEW 8.5.1 Student Edition and am not sure how to compile my VI into a standalone executable (.exe file) that can run without LabVIEW being installed on the computer (no data cards are being read, the VI is providing a simulation of an experiment)?
Do I need to buy additional software to do this, or have I just missed an option in the LabVIEW menu's?
Thanks for the help

Building and distributing an executable is probably beyond the intended scope of the student edition. The application builder is not included.
(The application builder alone is several times the cost of the student edition....)
You have a few alternatives:
Check with your school, maybe they have a NI campus license, for example.
Maybe you can host the program on your computer and let others use it via the web (one at the time).
One of us can probably built the application for you if you post the VIs.

How do I load a picture from the clipboard (either Windows clipboard or Labview clipboard) into image data that can then be processed in Labview?

I want to load a picture from the Windows clipboard (and if not possible, then from the Labview clipboard) into actual numerical image data so that it can be processed in lab view. When I'm at the main screen where I can add controls, I see a section of controls called "Vision" in the tool bar where all the different controls can can be added from. When I go to the control called "Image" and put that on my form, and then look at the flowchart/blockdiagram programing window to see what inputs and outputs it has, I only see one output, and no inputs. And when I right click on it, I see NO way to load an image into the Image control. PLEASE help me.
Message Edited by Ben321 on 11-09-2008 04:32 PM

Hi Ben,
National Instruments has an image processing software called Vision and although I am not completely sure, I think the controls that you found in the control pallet are used in conjunction with the software. Depending on what kind of image processing you want to conduct in LabVIEW, you might want to consider purchasing that product.
If cost is an issue, there are functions in LabVIEW which allows you to take in image files and process them. However, please keep in mind that the capabilities are limited.
Images should be loaded onto LabVIEW not via the clipboard but through loading it from folders or directories. (There might be a way to and so if you find a way please let me know! I would like to know myself =D) If you open the function pallet by right clicking on the block diagram, in the programming folder you should find a directory called "Graphic and Sound". There, you'll find functions in which allows you to process images.
In the "Graphic Type" directory there should be a function called Read JPEG file.vi. There are also others which allows you to read png and bmp files. Please note that there are functions which write as well. Set a file path on the block diagram and inside the "Grahic and Sound" there is a "Picture Function" directory and inside there, there should be a function called "Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi" That changes the image into a format where you can process on LabVIEW. Inside the "Picture Function" directory there are several functions which allows you to process the specified image. Play around with it and see how it goes. And don't forget to Write the file in the end to save any changes.
I hope this helps

How to output data when converting labview vi into matlab mex functions

Hi,
I am a fairly new user to labview and am currently working on labview
7.1. I have created a labview vi which can extract data from ni daq
6070e in real time. The problem is that this code has to be converted
so that it can be used with matlab.in order to do that i am using math
interactive tool kit which converts the labview code into mex files
which can then be used in matlab. Unfortunately i have not been able to
figure out how to output this data so that it can be processed in
matlab easily. i cannot afford any loss of information and all the
output must happen in real time. the o/p must take place after the fft
has been done. i am attaching the vi for convenience.There are 10
broken wires ,and this is the place where i want the o/p to be
generated.
Also do let me know if this vi can be further improved.
Regards

Manuj,
You seem to have misunderstood the way in which LabVIEW processes data. The code that you have produced will run in exactly the same way without the need for the case structure.
The code does not actually run the data from the previous case. It is merely processing data from the previous loop iteration, regardless of the case. If you were to remove the case structure, leaving only one copy of the code intact, and remove the toggle switch you have produced, or used the shift register which, I assure you would have worked, then you will have exactly the same functionality.
I have attached an example that uses the shift register to toggle cases, but also iterates that the case structure is not needed by using the same feedback node (and code) without a toggle switch or case structure.
Hope this helps you optimize your code

How to make a LabVIEW application into a screensaver?

How can I turn my Labview application into a screensaver. I read an old email from Jean-Pierre Drolet from 2001, where he writes that you only need to make a application of your .VI and then change the extension from .exe to .scr, rightclick and 'install'.
When I did that I got some error msg. in the 'display properties' 'screensaver' ... %1 requires %2 ... (cant see all). Does anyone know the answer how to make it correct?
(if you want a more difficult task.....)
To make it a complete screensaver the program should should act differently according to commandline switches:
/s : enter screen saver mode
/c : enter config mode
/p : enter preview mode
How to make it?
I would be happy if someone could ans
wer my first question(that easy part).By the way im running Laview 6.1 on a win 2000 comp.

Just made a simple VI with no menu or title bar, set the window size to always fill the screen and built it as application.scr. Installed it...everything OK. However if the RTE is located in the same directory as the application launching it returned an error saying the application could not find the neccesary resources...that might be what you see as well...(?).
On a machine with LV installed the RTE is already available so that is not a problem...Making it respond to commandline switches can be done either using the new commandline functionality of LV7 or using the commandline dll you can find here on the zone...it allows the application to capture and act on the commandlines when the application is launched.
Now you may want to add code in your application t
hat reacts to mouse actions so that the application terminates when the user moves the mouse /clicks a key etc...like other screensavers do. Use an event structure to capture such events...
Here's a general description on how to create screensavers that also applies in this case (nothing new there..but just to show that the procedure you already have is as MS says...):

Anyone ever write a compiler in LabVIEW

I am looking for anything anyone has done along the lines of writing a compiler in LabVIEW. I have no experience writing a compiler, and would like to know if it can be done with LabVIEW.
My goal is to create MS Executable files to perform simple tasks.

Labview is a very capable language in itself. To use it to compile code
written in another language would be a waste of time seeing that the whole
point of Labview is to reduce development time, not add another layer of
complexity.
If you want to learn C\C++ I recommend getting a book and working the
examples, I like Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel it is available for free on
electronic form or you can by the paper version.

How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?

How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?
Some examples include: Linkin Park - Studio Collection, Michael Jackson - The Indisposable Collection

Hi skullkrunch3r,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you "Get Info" on the tracks that are part of your collection, you can use the Compilation option in iTunes.
In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
See this article for more information on marking your albums as part of a compilation:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

How to compile all forms in a directoy at time?

Hi friends, thank for your replies for the previous questions.
Now
How to compile all form modules located in a directory
at a time? usually what I know is opening form one by one
and compile it. But I want to compile all forms and create
executable files at a time.
Is project Builder helpfule to achive this??
thanks
madhu

Yes, his file is useful -- it should run on Windows XP. You need to copy the above text into a file using a standard text editor, something like Notepad. To run it, you open a Cmd.exe DOS window on your pc, change directory (CD) to the folder where your forms are, and enter the command script file name.
Here are several more links to other topics in this forum asking how to do the same thing:

How to get video from DVD into FCE?

Hi,
I have a DVD which I got from a childhood friend. The DVD contains a compilation of old film clips (her family had old super 8 movies transferred to DVD). I'm trying to import the clip (it's one long video clip, 30 mins long) into FCE for editing. But, when I try to import, all I see on the DVD is one file folder labeled VIDEO_TS; this folder contains eight files with strange suffixes, such as .IFO, .VOB, and .BUP, none of which are accessible. Anyone have any idea how I can get the files into Final Cut Express?
I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Hi again, Martin. I did the 'conversion', and it appeared something was happening (i.e. a 'progress bar' showed that something was going on, and it took about 20 mins or so. So, I figured it was doing the conversion. Once done, a 'play' button appeared, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. Does that sound like I'm missing the MPEG2 Playback Component?
Note: I noticed during the conversion an indication that the file, about 2 gigs seemed to be being created, but for the life of me, I don't know where the file went (i.e. I don't know where (or even if) it was stored on my computer). Anyways, the process seems not to have worked. I guess, as you said, I'll need to purchase the Playback Component?
Thanks for your help.

How to compile a form built in forms 10g on windows platform?

Hi All,
I have built a 10g form on my local desktop on windows 7 and compiled/deployed it in apps on linux server.
I need to deploy the same form fmb on oracle apps hosted on windows platform. Please let me know if fmb works fine or not. And also provide how to compile form in windows platform..like frmcmp_batch command
Thanks,
Veena

The fmb, mmb, and pll files are portable to any platform where Forms can be installed. Every installation that supports running Forms comes with the necessary components to generate the executible files (fmx, mmx, plx). On your Windows machine, if you have the Builder installed, you can generate an FMX using the Builder. If not, you can directly use the compiler. The compiler has a gui option and a command line option. If you do not pass any arguments into the executible (frmcmp.exe) the GUI will start. Alternatively you can generate from the command line (DOS). You may need to set PATH, ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN, and possibily some others in the DOS shell in order for it to work.
If you have access to MyOracleSupport, refer to the following note:
<blockquote>Moving Forms Applications From One Platform Or Machine To Another (Doc ID 299938.1)</blockquote>
Example:
<blockquote>frmcmp.exe module=myForm module_type=form userid=scott/tiger@orcl compile_all=yes</blockquote>
More options are discussed in the Builder Online help and the compiler help.

How to integrate a .abc file into swf by using mxmlc?

Enviroment: CrossBridge1.0.1, Flex SDK 4.6
I use g++ to compile 2 .cc files (the c2as wrapper) & a .a file (the logic) into a .swc file; then use this .swc as a library for mxmlc to compile the main .as file.
The Makefile is as follows:
"$(FLASCC)/usr/bin/g++" $(BASE_CFLAGS) -O4 -L. main.cc test_as3.cc -lmytest -emit-swc=sample.mytest -o mytest.swc
"$(FLEX)/bin/mxmlc" -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries -library-path=mytest.swc -debug=false MainView.as -o test.swf
everything is ok.
But when I add some function calls in .as file, it uses the CModule package:
in MainView.as:
import com.adobe.flascc.CModule;
CModule.malloc
CModule.writeBytes
CModule.free
the mxmlc complains that
Access of undefined property, CModule.malloc,
Access of undefined property, CModule.writeBytes,
Access of undefined property, CModule.free
Definition com.adobe.flascc:CModule could not be found.
I found the CModule.abc in sdk/usr/lib folder, and I explored that it do have those functions. but how to import this .abc package into .swf ?
the follow command doesn't work:
"$(FLEX)/bin/mxmlc" -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries -library-path=mytest.swc -import CModule.abc -debug=false MainView.as -o test.swf

First, you should check out the new version at CrossBridge — CrossBridge
1.0.1 is quite old.
For your problem, you don't need to compile Cmodule.abc into your swf, it is already present into your SWC file. Here is the reason why your import is not working.
When you compile directly to SWF with crossbridge, the compiler put all the crossbridge stuff (CModule included) into the com.adobe.flascc namespace.
The problem is that, when you build a SWC, there is no garantee that your end application won't include multiple SWC compiled by crossbridge. To prevent namespace clashing, (having multiple Cmodule under the same namespace), all the stuff in the SWC is namespace with the namespace you gave after the -emit-swc command. In this particular case "-emit-swc=sample.mytest" your namespace is "sample.mytest".
So you need yo change the import from :
import com.adobe.flascc.CModule;
to
import sample.mytest.CModule;
and it should work.
More detail in the documentation : http://crossbridge.io/docs/Reference.html#section_gcc
Building SWCs
A SWC is the Flash Runtime equivalent of a shared library. You can link a SWC into a pure ActionScript project either with an IDE (Flash Builder, for example), or via the command-line ActionScript compiler (named mxmlc). A SWC contains the compiled ActionScript bytecode, along with an API catalog so that Flash Builder can perform code hinting while a developer writes ActionScript that uses the API exposed by a SWC.
When you generate a SWC you must specify an AS3 package name to contain the generated code, and the internal Crossbridge boilerplate code. This lets you link multiple Crossbridge-generated SWCs into one SWF without any function or class collisions. Anywhere you would have previously seen a name starting with com.adobe.flascc this namespace will be replaced with the string passed in the gcc/g++ -emit-swc=... argument.
-emit-swc=
Emits a SWC that can be linked into a Flash Builder project or distributed for others to link into their own projects. You must specify the namespace that you want to use to replace the default com.adobe.flascc namespace, this lets you link multiple Crossbridge-generated SWCs into a single project.

How to compile Java files using Ant in Eclipse

Hi All ,
I would like to compile all Java files using Ant in Eclipse.Since am very new to Ant and Eclipse can someone help me to create a build.xml file and let me know how to compile all the java files.
For ex , I have placed my java files inside the path C:\HEC\Terab.Initially the Terab folder holds 7 jar files which i had decompiled using JD compiler and placed the unzipped 7 folders (which contains the java files ).Now i have imported the HEC project into Eclipse using New ->Project ->Java Project.after importig it throwed me an error saying missing jar files.again i copied the jar files and placed inside Terab folder with other 7 folder.
Now How i can compile the java files and convert in to class files.Then after compiling the files i will again need to jar all the 7 folder.
Please tell me the steps i need to follow.How to write an build.xml file ? where i should keep it ? only one build.xml file is enough or should i write 7 build.xml file for each folder ? Please help me out...
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You don't have to worry about compliation. XI will automatically comple it when you create the udf, activate it and test your mapping. In case of any error it will give compliation error there itself.
Regarding all the mandatory jar files which are required for compilation is already available in XI server.
If you are using any third party libraries(jar files) you just need to add the jar file in your external definition and need to import the necessary packages in User Define Function. I hope it answers all your questions.
Thanks
