Building a Stand-Alone Application a question on non-VI support files

[hellolv]

 In LabVIEW Help, on the page for Building a Stand-Alone Application(5 c), it mentioned that I can select non-VI support files, such as data files to be part of the application.

Is there any examples or more details on this topic?

How do I call these files in my VI, and where can they be found on a target computer(where the .exe will be deployed)?

[eek]

An example of a non-vi support file might be an image that you are importing into your application. LabVIEW can obtain data from external files and perform LabVIEW functions on it.

Thus, if you created an application that imported a file that is not a vi, you would include this in your support files.

You can find out more about File I/O in the LabVIEW Help>>Fundamentals section.

I hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this issue.
