Question on Labview 8.2 Standalone executable

[plindol3]

Hi Fellows,

   I have a question, I have created a standalone executable labview file of  a vi created to test a circuit board I am working on. Whenever I open the executable file, the labview panel opens up running. Is there a way to create the executable file so that when opened initially, it does not run until I hit run on the labview panel?  I don't want any voltage going to my circuit board until I hit run. Is it possible to do this? Since this is the only vi, it is also my startup vi.

Not sure how much they changed from LV8.0 but suspect it's probably pretty similar for this.  In the build spec for the project, there’s a category along the left that’s called “source file settings”.  There’s a bunch of things you can change including “run when opened”.  It defaults to run when opened but unselecting the box will prevent that.

There is a bug in 8.2, that will prevent from still standing applications. The workaround is to build the application as debuggable and force it to wait on the debugger (be aware that the exe will be bigger).

But such a thing should be programmed in the application,  IMHO.

This was reported to R&D (#40HEDDJG) for further investigation. Just like Ton mentioned , a possible workaround would be to select the Advanced option of the build specification and check "Enable debugging" and "Wait for debugger on launch".
