Unfortunately, Lookout will always save the LKS (Script file).  If the client only has the Runtime version, they cannot edit the files without a Development license or they are really good at using the script files 🙂

in this case , i guess customer should install the lookout software in order to run the process.

am i right?

[Ryan.S]

Yes. The customer can choose to install Lookout runtime server.

mmmmmmmmmmm   i only have the development license, how can i get the run time one? :s

If you want to run the application on customer's computer, the customer needs to buy a runtime server from NI.

hi anybody knows how to convert a .vi file into .exe file?

is .exe labview file can run without labview?

[Ryan.S]

You need LabVIEW's application builder.

LabVIEW runtime engine is necessary to run the exe.

Do you want to run LabVIEW VI at the same time, and use Lookout to control the value in VI? If so, you need to publish the labview data to OPC Server. Take a look at this KB.

Then use Lookout to connect shared variable engine to control the value.

Another way is to directly use Lookout to connect the hardware. Then you don't need VI to run, just do all the process in Lookout.
