LabView and Run-Time

Hello, I have written a vi in LabView 7.0 and I would like to install this vi on other computers for which we do not have a license to run LabView. I understand the way around this is to download Run-Time from the National Instruments website. This I have done (downloaded and installed the latest run-time software from NI website) but I have no idea how to run my vi in the run-Time suite of programs. Which program should I use and so on. Are all sub-vis supported etc.

You also need to check to make sure you actually have the Application Builder, depending on which "edition" of LabVIEW you have. The Professional edition had the Application Builder included. The Full and Base did not, and needed to be purchased separately. I think this still applied going back to 7.0. If you don't have the Application Builder then you will need to check with NI to see if you can still get it.

Labview 2010 run-time engine silent install

I am having trouble with installing the run-time engine for LabVIEW 2010 with the silent option.
I am using the minimum version of the run-time engine.
Before I used the LV7 run-time engine. Then I could install it silently using LVRunTimeEng.exe /qb!
In LabVIEW 2010 the run-time engine is no longer a single file but a directory that contains the installation files. There are two files that can be used to launch the installer Setup.exe and LV2010runtime.msi.
Setup.exe does not seem to accept any command-line arguments. LV2010runtime.msi however accepts the command-line arguments and can be installed silently.
Now my problem is that I am building a windows installer using a third party application and it is only possible to launch exe files after the installation completes. Before I could launch the LVRunTimeEng.exe /qb! to install the labview 7 run-time engine but now when I have upgraded to labview 2010 I cannot do the same for Setup.exe.
My question is if it is possible to use the Setup.exe file to install the Labview 2010 run-time engine (minumum) silently?

Setup.exe runs a number of other .exe files during its execution. This article looks like it will allow you to run setup.exe silently by supressing all messages and windows:

Is Labview 2012 run-time on TPC-2206?

When I go to Uninstall programs on my TPC-2206 I see Labview Run-Time 2009, 2010 and 2011. Labview 2012 Run-Time does not show up in the list. When I download and install it, I still only see the above plus a generic National Instruments program. The new TPC-2206 touch panels we have show a generic National Instruments program in the program list, but I don't know how to find out if that is Labview 2012 Run-Time. I can't find anywhere on the NI website that lists what Run-Time software is already loaded on the Touch Panels.

I did try running a Labview 2012 executable after I had put up the post. It did not work, so I knew that Labview 2012 Run-Time was not on it. I put Labview 2012 Run-Time on it, but afterwards when I looked in the Remove/Change programs list in the Control Panel, Labview 2012 Run-Time was not in the list of installed programs. There was a generic National Instruments program, but there was nothing identifying what NI program it was. This was the real problem, because all of the earlier versions of Labview Run-Time were clearly identified in the installed programs list and Labview 2012 Run-Time was not. There is no way to know if Labview 2012 Run-Time is installed except to try to run a Labview 2012 executable.

Big-Oh Notation,algorithm-analysis and running time - aagh headache!

Hey folks,
I was reading about the Big-Oh Notation, algorithm-analysis and running time.
Now, it's all probably very nice - if you get to understand it. Which I don't! Gives me headache! lol
And we're having an exam soon. Hmm. Could someone please help to explain it a bit better please?
Oh and by the way, one of the examples mention something about T(N), which I presume is running time for the size of a problem.
So it said:
"? Running time of a loop =
time taken by the body statement * size of the loop
? Example
for ( i = 1; i <= N; i ++)
c = c + 1;
? body statement takes O(1), the size of the loop is N
? So, this loop has running time T(N) = N * O(1) = O (N).
? More precise ?
? i = 1 takes 1 time unit
? Body statement takes 2 time units
? i <= N takes 1 time unit, i ++ takes 1 time unit
? Totally T (N) = 1 + 1 * (N +1) + 2 * N + 1 * N = 4N + 2 = O(N)
init condition body update
Nested loops
? Nested loops: Analyze them inside out
time take by body statement of innermost loop *
product of the size of all the loops
? Example:
line 1 for ( i = 1; i <= N; i ++)
line 2 for ( j = 1; j <= N; j ++)
line 3 k++;
? line 3 is the body statement in the innermost loop (for-j): takes
O(1).
? size of for-j: N
? size of for-i: N
? So the running time for this nested loops: N*N*O(1) = O(N2 )"
Please help me! I don't understand much of this.
Best Wishes!

Ok. I'll have a look about it - but the question I
had was... like...
what exactly is it that takes N steps? How do I know
what takes O(1) steps
and N steps?Depends on what you're doing. Example: adding an item to a linked list of N elements will always take the same effort: attach it to the end. Whether the list already has 0, 10 or 1000 elements doesn't matter. O(1).
If you want to try and find the maximum value in an array of numbers, you need to look at each number in there. So an array with 1 number takes one look, an array with 100 numbers needs 100 looks and an array with N members needs N looks. O(N).
Does the parametres themselves take a step each? How
many steps does the body (as far as I've understood
it, it's c = c + 1; which is the body) take? And how
long time does it take?That body takes only one step. The question is whether you want to account for the repetition or not. If you don't, it's O(1) . There is no N to take into account. If you count in the repetitions too, you end up with an N - the number of times you call the body. So the effort O to run the body once is O(1), the effort to run it N times using the loop is O(N). It really depends on what the actual action is you want to look at.

MBP 17" Battery Capacity and Run Times : Survey

I've had 2 MBP 17's so far, and I'd like to get a general idea from everyone about their battery capacity and run times they are experiencing.
My first MBP17 had a Full Charge Capacity of ~5900mAh before calibration and PMU reset, and 6800mAh after. This translated to about 3:40 of run time under light load.
My current MBP17 had a Full Charge Capacity of ~5899mAh before calibration and PMU reset, and 6942mAh after (currently). This translates to about 3:48 of runtime....still trying to get some more real-world run time numbers under different loads.
This proves to me that it is quite critical to calibrate your battery and reset your PMU at least once to ensure that your battery is reporting it's correct capacity. I'd be interested to know what everyone else's batteries are reporting.

Does the definition of "Execution State" equals "Bad" change between development environment and run-time?

My basic question is:
If the execution state of vi is "bad" under the development environment, shouldn't it also be "bad" under the run-time environment?
So here is the background:
So I use SVN and I ran into this problem where I would be working on one piece of code without having my top-level vi open and would inadvertantly break the top-level vi. And being in hurry or whatever I would not open the top-level vi to check the run arrow and I would check in my code, which of course breaks the top-level vi for everyone else and causes lots of problems.
So to solve this I wanted to create a Tortoise SVN client side hook to check the check the top-level vi(s) to see if the run arrow was broken before I commit my changes. I'm trying to use the Execution State to check this. I am using an Equals primitive to compare it to a "Bad" constant. (as a side question is checking the execution state the best way to do this? or is this even a valid way to do this? It's the only way I've found so far to check the run arrow.).
So the way I'm going about this is:
1. I create a executable (written in LabVIEW) which is run by TSVN
2. When TSVN calls it (I set it up as a start-commit hook) I pass it a parameter which is text file which lists all the top level vi(s)
I do these first 2 steps in order to make it as generic as possible. I can use it on any project with any number of top-level vis (or dynamically called vis) all I do is point it to a different text file.
3. Inside the executable I just read the list of vis, open a reference to each one and check the execution state. I do this inside a for loop, but keep the references open and close them after the for loop in case they share some subvis or libraries, so they stay in memory (could this be the cause of some of my problems??)
4. Then after the for loop executes and the references are closed I simply fire off a popup if any of them are broken.
5. Then I simply exit LabVIEW to return control to TSVN.
So my problem is this:
In the development environment everything works as expected. But when I try the exact same thing in the executable it tells me the run arrow is broken.
Why the difference? I'm checking the same list of vis and the runs arrows have not changed, they are still all good.
So it appears that checking the execution state to see if it is bad behaves differently in the run-time versus the development environment.
Can anyone confirm or deny that?
It seems to me that it should behave the same.
The help for the Vi.Exec.State property says that it works in the run-time (Read-only), so why am I getting different results?
On a side question if anyone knows of an easier way to accomplish what I want to do, please let me know. I went this route because I had some experience with writing TSVN hooks and I thought it would be pretty simple and it is if I can get this comparison to behave.

I believe that plugins rely on the libraries being located in a specific location. The installer can place these libraries in the specific location or some other installer can do that. You can create code that scans the library directly to "learn" what packages/libraries are available. Then you would build the path to that VI and open the reference to it.

LabVIEW 8 run time

Am upgrading from 7.0 to 8. Is Run Time compiled with the .exe during
the build? Does Run Time install with the .exe on the target machine?
Are there any hoops to jump through during the build, or target
installations?
Instructions for 8 Run Time seem to be slim.
newbieDLD

The run-time engine isn't really compiled with your built application since it's a separate program. You can, however, include the installer as part of your build so that when you deploy your application you will also distribute the run-time engine with it. From the LabVIEW documentation:
If you use the Application Builder to build an installer for an application or shared library, you can add the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine to the installer build. From the Additional Installers page of the Installer Properties dialog box, place a checkmark in the NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine checkbox in the National Instruments Installers to Include listbox.
Generally, the run-time engine is a separate install, and the installer for it is included on the LabVIEW CD, or you can download it from NI: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/1F1EBEA6D03A67E6862570A400531F97?opendocument&node=13206...

Install Labview DSC Run Time without SQL Express

Hi
I have an application of DSC run time that I tested successfully but now must be installed on a server and my client does not allow install an instance of SQL Server Express because he are already using the Enterprise version. What should I do to not install the SQL Server Express incorporated in the DSC Run Time and use the SQL Server Enterprise already installed on the server?

Hello Jdrendon
Did you try to install your application on a PC with an instance of the Enterprise version?
Maybe another instance of SQL will not be installed in this case, because you already have a later version installed.
The second possibility is just uncheck the option to install the SQL Server Express when you are installing your application.
Let me know if it is possible and if it solve your problem.

Tiles and run-time expressions

I use an in-house developed library similar to Struts Tiles.
Consider this line <put name='header' value='header.jsp'/>. At run-time it will send header.jsp to web browser. I need to select a specific .jsp using a flag like <put name='header' value='header<%= flag %>.jsp'/>, so this will send, for example, header1.jsp, header2.jsp and so on.
Unfortunately Tiles doesn't evaluate expressions <%=.. %> at run-time, so the uri will header<%= flag %>.jsp instead of necessary header1.jsp.
I'm looking for a solution other than using "if".
Evgeny
Javadesk

I want to send a bookmark label and web page using the same specific Locale. But I see a problem in Tiles. This sends output in UTF-8 charset, and displays correct output
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<fmt:bundle basename="bundle">
<put name="header" type="page">
<fmt:message key="sample" />
</put>
<region:put section='content' content='home.jsp'/>
</fmt:bundle>but this, when setLocale is executed in Tiles, will send output in default ISO-8859-1 encoding, and display not English characters as gibberish
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<fmt:setLocale value="<%= locale %>" />
<fmt:bundle basename="bundle">
<put name="header" type="page">
<fmt:message key="sample" />
</put>
<region:put section='content' content='home.jsp'/>
</fmt:bundle>I ran a number of tests and looked at the JSTL source code and found, that the problem occurs after fmt:setLocale tag internally calls the response.setLocale(locale);
Any advice?

Java compile and run time questions

Hello, I have two generic question about java compile and run:
1. When I used javac to compile my project, it complained some classes can't be found. I added the jar file which contains these needed classes to the jre/lib/ext/ directory. The compiler no longer complains. But I'm confused. I thought the jar files in jre/lib/ext/ only used for java run time, not the compile time. Can someone help me to explain this?
2. If I need certain user defined jar file in the classpath to compile my application, does that imply that I have to have that jar file if I want to run my project?
Thanks in advance.

1. lib/ext is used for generally finding classes, it doesn't matter whether you are compiling or running.
2. Yes, you will.

LabVIEW 8 Run-Time Eninger on 2011 Startup

Hey All,
Weird issue here where the LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run-Time engine trys to install/configure itself everytime I start the 2011 development environment. Has anyone ever seen this?
It quickly goes to a prompt asking for...
"The Feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
Clock OK to try again or enter an anternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'lv82runtime.msi' in the box below.
Why would it be asking for this at all? It tries to install itself 3-4 times before finally launching the development environment.
Regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,
That is odd behavior, there could be a corrupt file in you run time install. I would suggest repairing your LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run Time Engine. Refer to the document below for repairing NI software.

Question about Slow Motion and Running Times

I am using iMovie '08 to help my boss make a video of the pump and suction cup assembly he has created. He asked me if I knew how to slow it down to a frame by frame type of shot. He also asked if there is any way to have a running time on the video both in real time and the slow motion shot. Can anyone help me?
At work I am using a Mac Pro with 4 G of RAM and 2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel processor.

iMovie 08 was primarily designed for SIMPLE editing.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
Much has been written about the differences between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08. I have found the below link to be helpful.

AutosizeHeight and run-time value

I know this has been asked many times before, but my Google-fu has failed me.
PowerBuilder 12.5.2 classic mode, running on Win7 64 bit.
I have an autosize height column in a datawindow, and I want to know how tall it has become after I set a value to it (to account for word/line wrapping, etc.). There is only one row in the datawindow at a time.
I have tried dw.Describe(ColumnName + ".Height"), and I get the design-time value.
Tried dw.Describe("Evaluate('" + ColumnName + ".Height', 1)"), get an invalid expression error.
Used RowHeight(), but it seems to increment sporadically (every 5-12 lines).
Even put an invisible line under the column with SlideUp, and looked at the Y1 value, but again only get the design time value.
Help?
-Kennon

Aha.
The RowHeight() expression was the trick, BUT
I have several autosize columns stacked below the one I'm interested in. They were uninitialized (null actually), and had zero(!) height at run-time. It seems that the row autosize "reserved" enough room for the design-time height, and once a column took up all the phantom allotted space, then the row would resize. Took off autosize on the other columns, and hey presto.
I am now a bit more bald, but good golly the dang thing works.
Thank you both for your help.

Context at design time and run time

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between context at design time and context at run time?
Regards
V. Suresh Kumar

The structure of context is usually defined at design time while context node and attributes are created at runtime based on the design. However, it is possible to modify the contents of context as well as to alter its structure at runtime too. To help understand it better, see these 2 online presentations.
1. [The context at design time|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f059fe81-90f2-2a10-9593-cda1645f0020].
2. [The context at run time|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a015df6f-28f3-2a10-0291-e8e5c8aeb1bd].
Hope it helps,
