Labview programming using Real Time module

If an program is developed with Labview8.5 & Real Time module software. And that particular code, when i open in Labview8.5 with no Real time module installed.

 

Can i generate an .exe file with the same code and only Labview8.5 installed and no Real Time module installation?

 

If yes, how it is possible?

 

Thanks

You can only create a Windows executable if you don't have the RT module
installed. You do need the application builder. If that is what you want,
search the forum for "building exe", "application builder" and such terms.
If you use RT IO, you do need the RT drivers, and some RT VI's might not be
available on non-RT platforms.

You cannot create a RT executable if you without the RT module.

Wiebe.

What target are you putting the RT on.  Depending on the target the exe might need a RT Realtime runtime (not the full development module).  I have deployed RT on a cFP RT target without needing Labview after deployment.

Let me clarify, A testing code is developed using Labview and also with add on module like Real Time module. An executable is generated and deployed on the test stand system, where host sytem needs to communicate with cFP.

 

Now i want to use the same source code which was developed earlier. But now i dont have the Real Time module installed on my system and only labview is installed. I can open the source code but i see most of VI's are broken. Though i dont have the Real Time module, i have RT runtime libraries. When i tried to build an excutable,,it throws an error saying...VI's are broken.

 

What does that mean? Even for building up an Executable, do we need to have both Labview and Real Time Module?

 

Does this make any sense ?

 

Thanks

I think Wiebe understood your question bettwr than me.  You could be out of luck.  The broken vi's are most likely part of the realtime addon module.  Without the module, you will be missing some of the source code (vis) needed to open the project and it will be broken.  This is very common when taking a project with any addon to a computer without the add-on.

There asnt too much I can think of to do without installing the RT module interms unless you have access to a machine with the RT Module.  If it is a matter of just recompiling the code you might be able to convince an app engineer to compile the source for you but that is a long-shot.  Sorry I dont have a better solution.

There is one other possible workaround, I think all modules can be installed in a temporary evaluation mode.  This will allow you to build the application and modify the code but you will be left with a NI watermark or your vis (this wont be visible if you dont show the application like in cFP applications).  you will only have 30 days to work with the vis and your best bet would be to purchase the rt module in the longterm but this might buy you a little time.
