In LabVIEW how new libraries are been created .What is the necessity of creating library.Is it possible to save all sub VIs on the same folder while making an executable format. Is labview run engine needed for all VIs to work?

Hi,

Creating a Library of your VIs is easy to do in LabVIEW using the VI Library Manager (found in the Tools menu). Make sure that your VIs are placed in the same directory and convert the dir to LLB.

The LabVIEW runtime engine is nessesary when trying to run a builded (.exe) LabVIEW development system on a computer with no LabVIEW installation. A VI can in it self only be executed from a LabVIEW deevlopment system. Otherwise the VI has to be builded into an exe or dll using the LabVIEW Application Builder.

Let me know if you need more information

And another point - while the run-time engine can't call a VI file, applications running in the run-time engine can, so it is very simple to write an EXE which will call VI files and run them. This means that you don't have to build VIs into an application if you want to load them - you can use this method to call the VIs even without touching the original hierarchy.
