Leung,

Check out:

for a comparison.  If you want to develop standalone software (and distribute it), you will need the professional version.

Teststand is highly useful software (just installed it on this PC today), but it isn't necessary for developing applications.  You may want to look over what it can do to determine if you need it.   Building applications with TestStand is slightly more complex (and definitely more expensive)  [or at least it was with version 3.5... now I get to try 4.1].

Matt Bradley,

Matt has already answered this in his response. As he noted, the Professional version includes the Application Builder which is the component that allows you to create an executable from your LabVIEW code. It also allows you to create an installation package for your application.

Please be aware that running the executable will require installation of the LabVIEW Runtime Engine on the target machine. The LabVIEW Runtime Engine is free. You can include it as part of your installation package, or have the end-user download and install it separately.

If you need more help in determining exactly what you need your best bet is to contact your local NI sales office.

If you mean EXECUTABLE by the term Standalone, then LabVIEW is the best fit for an Automated System, esp for an Automated Test Equipment [ATE], that runs for production. This is because you can build an EXECUTABLE using TestStand; you need to deploy the application as a Sequence or Workspace in TestStand, which in turn calls your LV code as such, or as an EXE/DLL.
