How to create an executable file in LabVIEW?

To generate an executable file in LabVIEW, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the LabVIEW software.
  2. Select “File” from the menu bar, then choose “New” to create a new Virtual Instrument (VI).
  3. Design and write your LabVIEW program in the Block Diagram.
  4. Ensure that the program functions correctly and achieves the desired outcome.
  5. Select “File” in the menu bar, then choose “Save” to save your VI.
  6. Select “Build” from the menu bar, then choose “Application”.
  7. Choose the output directory and generated file name in the pop-up “Build Application” dialog box.
  8. Choose additional options as needed, such as including the LabVIEW Runtime Engine.
  9. Click the “Build” button to start generating the executable file.
  10. Wait for LabVIEW to complete the compilation and generation process of the program.
  11. After generation is complete, you will find the generated executable file in the designated output directory.

The above are the basic steps to generate a LabVIEW executable file. Note that in order to run the generated executable file on another computer, the target computer must have LabVIEW Runtime Engine or LabVIEW Development System installed.
