Creating exe on LabVIEW FPGA module

Hi,
Can we create an exe using LabVIEW FPGA module to work on NI 7831R.
I want to run the exe on a system without LabVIEW or FPGA Module Installed. Can we develop an exe such that it includes the LabVIEW runtime engine and Xilinx support required to compiled and download the vi on to the 7831R.
Regards,
Siddu

The basic answer is yes.

You will build a LabVIEW EXE using the Application Builder (required tool) either for your Windows or RT target. Within the LV Windows or LV RT application will be the code to download the VI to the FPGA and interface to it. You will not need to recompile the LV FPGA VI once it is compiled. The compiled version (FPGA bitstream) will be stored within the FPGA VI and EXE, and will be downloaded to the FPGA at runtime.

The other option you have it to compile the FPGA VI and store the compiled version in flash memory on the 7831R card. In this case the FPGA VI will be loaded automatically to the FPGA and starts running whenever you boot the system with the 7831R card (i.e. when the card receives power).
