Most easy way to save a .vi o another computer ?

[Oxbow8]

Hello,

I am a newbie in Labview and my project has a lot of dependencies (other .vi files linked to the main .vi, custom controls files, etc.)

I need to copy / paste the file .vi on another computer. Is it possible to export the .vi with all the dependencies ?

thanks a lot

ps : I found "duplicate hierarchy to new location" in the export options, is it what I am looking for or not at all ? thanks 🙂

It is important to keep the dependencies in a clean hierarchy, and not scattered all over the HD.

You have several options:

• If you have the application builder, build a "source distribution".

• For simple scenarios, just open the toplevel VI and do a "save for previous" and select the same version. It will create a folder containing the Vi and all dependencies that you can zip up and extract on the other computer. Also include the lvproj file if desired.

Better option would be to use a Source Code Control software like GIT or SVN.  You have your code saved in a repository on a server and then you can clone or get the latest code from the repository.  It also doubles as a backup that you can go back to when something goes horribly wrong.
