SO SLOW... will application (.exe) help

Question

Hello,
My program is running much much too slow. Would it help to build an application? (an .exe file)
Thanks, IBAHKA

Answer 1

Probably not.
Without trying to be insulting in my comments here, the problem is most likely in the way your application is written. Whatever is causing it to run slow within the LabVIEW development environment, will still be there after you build it into an executable.
We may be able to help find the trouble spots if you can give a few more details on what your applicaiton does. Maybe you can even post the code or a sample of it so we can see how everything is done.
There are a lot of things that slow an applicaition down. One common mistake is not putting any delay in loops that run continuosly. this will cause the applicaiton to use 100% of the processor all the time, so your applicaiton, and the entire computer will seem to run slow because the CPU is spending all of its time on your application.
