How to create an executable file in LabVIEW?
To generate an executable file in LabVIEW, you can follow these steps:
- Open the LabVIEW software.
- Select “File” from the menu bar, then choose “New” to create a new Virtual Instrument (VI).
- Design and write your LabVIEW program in the Block Diagram.
- Ensure that the program functions correctly and achieves the desired outcome.
- Select “File” in the menu bar, then choose “Save” to save your VI.
- Select “Build” from the menu bar, then choose “Application”.
- Choose the output directory and generated file name in the pop-up “Build Application” dialog box.
- Choose additional options as needed, such as including the LabVIEW Runtime Engine.
- Click the “Build” button to start generating the executable file.
- Wait for LabVIEW to complete the compilation and generation process of the program.
- 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.
