Building a stand alone program with a third party driver

New to Labview so this might be an easy question.  I want to use LabView 2014 and a 3rd party driver to build a stand alone application for the Keysight E4990A impedance analyzer.  Due to company restrictions, I can not connect the E4990A to a computer, so I need to develop the app on a laptop, then transfer the program to the impedance analyzer on a CD.  The impedance analyzer has Windows Embedded as the OS.  I am trying to automate a test sequence so the operator does not have to do as much for each run.

What don't you know how to do? Build the application or transfer it to the instrument? Have you tried anything at all? Are you using the LabVIEW or IVI driver? The first requires the exe, LabVIEW runtime, and VISA runtime as a minimum. After building the exe, you would create an installer. You may have issues with Windows embedded.

Why aren't you allowed to connect the instrument to a computer?

 

Simply disconnect the computer from the company network if IT department is concerned about security.

Optionally just install LabVIEW on the analyzer and develop it right on the instrument.  I'm sure the software is just an app and you can quit to Windows...
