[qlyu]

My boss tell me to write a software using Labview.
we want to use a computer without labview to
record some electrical signal and show the shap of the signal.
what should I do?

Can... you can do that..

OK. First of all, in order to run a LabVIEW program on a computer that doesn't have it, you'll need one of the versions that has the application builder. I believe those are the full and profssional versions. If you want to know, simply look in the "Tools" menu and see if you have the "Build application or shared library" option.
Now, acquiring and displaying a signal is very easy in LV and if you look in Help>>Find Examples>>Fundamentals>>Graphs and Charts you can find quite a few examples which can help you. The trick is to get the data you acquire into LabVIEW and that depends on how your device is hooked up (I/O Board, Serial cable, USB, Using a DLL to read the data through a TCP/IP connection and so on).

Acccording to the LabVIEW comparison matrix, the full version does not contain the application builder. You need at least "Professional".

NI also has a wide variety of data acquisition hardware, choose depending on your requirements and pricepoint. You develop your application on one computer, then build the application. The standalone computer only needs the drivers and the "LabVIEW Runtime" (free) installed.

LabVIEW includes many example programs that you can modify for your purpose. If you get stuck, ask here for help. 🙂
