Labview Driver Release

[nikkachhadiya]

Hello Folks,

I am developing project style labview drivers for one of the instrument i am working on. I was just wondering if anyone can help me understand few points.

1. How can i update the .vi in to function pallette and make it visible to everyone ?

2. How can i create example vi in driver project. 

3. How can i give this driver files to someone else to use when i give them the instrument. Is there something like release file or .exe i can generate? so they can install ?

Thank you,

Nik

Well, these questions could be answered with a book or two.

However, I use and recommend creating a VI Package using VIPM.  If you use the Pro version, you can create a repository which makes sharing with your team easy and also provides for notifications of updates.

The Developer Center Resources is a good place to start your research/learning.

I recommend you look at JKI VI Package Manager (VIPM).  With it, you can build up a package for distribution.  Part of the distribution is the creation of the palettes for the library.  Then whoever you give it to just install using VIPM.  And the really neat thing is that you can install on a per LabVIEW version, so you can have different versions of a package installed in the different versions of LabVIEW you have installed on a machine.
