labview standalone simulations

[bravo]

hi,

i am trying to make study material using Labview. i have creted some VI's that work fine when Labview is installed on a system. but i would like to share it to my friends. so i require certain export method that just works independant of the software. like 'flash movies'. i tried the webpublishing option but it shows message that No connection to server.

please help me out

The usual way that people share Labview applications is to create an EXE file of the 'application'. This is done using an extension to the basic Labview Development environment known as the Application builider which ships with Labview Full Development System for example, but not with the basic version.

Actually, the application builder is only included in LabVIEW professional and higher. The Full version does not have it either. (see the comparison matrix). For base and full you need to purchase the application builder seperately.

bravo,

Are you at an university? If this is study material, your students could buy the LabVIEW student edition and run your code. I would recommend the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite, which includes the LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition plus 14 toolkits. It is a terrific deal.

It should definitely also work if you enable the LabVIEW web server and have users connect remotely via browser (there are certain limitations).

Thanks, I new that I had purchased it seperately when I started out years ago. I looked through and thought that it was bundled with the higher version now. Sorry for that inaccuracy in the previous post and thanks to Altenbach for correcting it.

thanks to all for helping me out.

 i have already opted the student edition Idea. but to make it fast and presentable to end user the exe funda would be better. how can i get the application builder prog,

or else i read in one of the forums about the labview player that is free and can be used exactly the purpose i have.

once again thanks for help.

I don't think there is a LabVIEW player for version 7.1, the latest I've seen is LabVIEW 7.0.

You need LabVIEW 7.0 professional AND the LabVIEW Player VI creation toolkit to sign your VIs so they can be played with the player. What is your LabVIEW version?

Good afternoon Bravo,

There's a great tutorial on what you are asking here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/7bd0b01fcf3cf61a86256b510059f0fb.  I would still not give up yet on the remote panel/web server interface for LabVIEW.  If you were unsuccessful with the LabVIEW player, let me know how I can help you get the remote panels working.
