how to make my labview codings as a package for labview

[Balaji_DP]

Hello NI,

                 I made drivers for some thrid party instruments, which is compatable for serial port and Ethernet. I have several vi's for that i cant able to share these vi's to my friends.

i just want to build one package of my driver, also i want to install these package to labview user library.

Tell me some good suggestion for this.

With warm regards,

The easiest way is to do a development distribution (File>>Save As.

If your needs are more complex, you can also try VIPM. I don't think the free version can do this, but it's worth it just for getting the OpenG code.

where i can find this development distribution ? is there option available in labview?

If you re using LV versions > 7.x, you can create an LLB by using the option Save As... in the Files menu.

You have to just open the top-level VI of that driver (or something) & go on to build the LLB. All other VIs will get added/bundled into it automatically.

In LV 7.x, I think it ll be under the Tools >> Build Source Distribution menu...

Hi Balaji,

As tst mentioned, VI Package Manager will allow you to easily package your VIs for installing into LabVIEW, so that you can share them with your colleagues and friends.  The package building capability is scheduled for our next release.  You can find out more information here.

• VIPM 2.0 - Build your own VI Packages

And, to answer tst's question, package building will be available in both the free Community version and the paid Professional version.

If you are interested in getting an early look and helping us test this next release, check out our VI Package Manager 2.0 Alpha Program announcement.

Best Regards,

-Jim

VI Package Manager is a 3rd party add-on offered by JKI -- it's doesn't come with any LabVIEW version.
