Generate .lvsc using external application

[Jonnybravo]

Hi,

I don't think that it is possible, but I want your confirmation.

I'm currently working with the statechart module and I want to generate a statechart with a configuration file or other external way.

From my research, I think that it is only possible to send and receive data from LabVIEW, but I want to know for sure if there is a way to generate a .vi or a .lvsc without using the LabVIEW application.

Thanks

I've managed to do this definition in Simulink, with this script:

sfnew
rt = sfroot
m = rt.find('-isa','Simulink.BlockDiagram')
ch = m.find('-isa','Stateflow.Chart')

sA = Stateflow.State(ch);
sA.Name = 'A';
sA.Position = [50 50 310 200];
sA1 = Stateflow.State(ch);
sA1.Name = 'A1';
sA1.Position = [80 120 90 60];
sA2 = Stateflow.State(ch);
sA2.Name = 'A2';
sA2.Position = [240 120 90 60];
tA1A2 = Stateflow.Transition(ch);
tA1A2.Source = sA1;
tA1A2.Destination = sA2;
tA1A2.SourceOClock = 3;
tA1A2.DestinationOClock = 9;
tA1A2.LabelPosition = [180 140 0 0];
tA1A2.LabelString = 'E1';
pos = tA1A2.LabelPosition;
pos(1) = pos(1)+5;
tA1A2.LabelPosition = pos;

% Add a default transition to state A
dtA = Stateflow.Transition(ch);
dtA.Destination = sA;
dtA.DestinationOClock = 0;
xsource = sA.Position(1)+sA.Position(3)/2;
ysource = sA.Position(2)-30;
dtA.SourceEndPoint = [xsource ysource];
dtA.MidPoint = [xsource ysource+15];
% Add a default transition to state A1
dtA1 = Stateflow.Transition(ch);
dtA1.Destination = sA1;
dtA1.DestinationOClock = 0;
xsource = sA1.Position(1)+sA1.Position(3)/2;
ysource = sA1.Position(2)-30;
dtA1.SourceEndPoint = [xsource ysource];
dtA1.MidPoint = [xsource ysource+15];

sfsave(m.Name, 'myModel');

It's this behavior that I want to know if LabVIEW supports.

Hello,

I am not sure about the understanding of your issue.

You want to know if you can generate a .vi or a .lvsc without LabVIEW (but LabVIEW is installed on your computer).?

What is the purpose of your request? We may be able to find another way around your main need.

I am convinced that genrating or creating a .vi without LabVIEW is not possible. You can generate a VI with Vision assist or DAQ assist, but it will be specific with vision or a daq application.

I found a link but I am pretty sure it will not answer your question. You will find it below if necessary.
