Can I Run LabVIEW VIs with the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine?
Primary Software: Calibration Executive
Primary Software Version: 5.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: I have the LabVIEW run-time engine installed on my machine, is it possible to run LabVIEW VIs with this?
Solution: You cannot run LabVIEW VIs if you only have the LabVIEW run-time engine. There are three options that will allow you to run code that was generated in LabVIEW.
- You can create a LabVIEW executable, using the LabVIEW Application Builder, and run this executable on a machine that has the LabVIEW run-time engine installed. This option will not give you the option of making any modifications to the code that was generated using LabVIEW.
- Another option would be to purchase the LabVIEW Development Environment, which will allow you to view the LabVIEW source code and make modifications to the LabVIEW VI.
- You can run LabVIEW VIs from TestStand if you ony have the LabVIEW run-time engine.
