Without Application Builder can i make .exe file

[Sim5]

Hello All,

As to increase speed of reading data from Spectrum Analyzer i need to make .exe file but i am using student version so dont have application builder so is there any other method to make .exe file. I am using labview 8.5.1

Thanks so much..

Pallavi,

there is no other way to build an exe file except using the LV Application Builder.

But one thing i am wondering about:

Exe files do not acquire data faster by any means. So i doubt that building an exe will help you..... at least not for the reason you state.

No. And even if you had the app builder, the speed increase would not be noticeable. You are always working with compiled code.

Perhaps if you posted your code so someone can look at it, there might be some suggestions as to how it could be improved. You should also provide details on what kind of rate you have now and what you want to achieve.

Hello All,

Thanks so much...

I need to calculate PSD values for different frequencies range starts from 0 hz till 20Mhz with setp size of 2500 hz but using labview it takes several mintues. Same program done in VB reads within a fraction of seconds. So VB's .exe file i have so i thought that .exe file will run faster just like VB. I did coding in labview not in VB.

Thanks...

Pallavi,

as Dennis already wrote: Without the code, we cannot give you hints for improving the execution speed.

If you have a VB program that takes fractions of a second, then your LabVIEW program is obviously much different. You decided to not post your code (LabVIEW or VB) so how do you expect to get any help?

To fix it yourself, start by doing an NI-Spy capture of the vb program and of yours. Compare the two.

Hello All,

I am using drivers from R&S so it wont be much helpful but still attaching you my code plus screenshot of code... Now it takes around 6 mins.. and using VB it just takes jew seconds... Is it that VB runs faster than Labview?

 Thanks so much...

Hello All,

  Sorry as i am using Drivers so i didnt post as you all wont be able to see my vi. My prof just shown me once program running in vb. I dont have VB program. They wish that i should do the same in labview. I did but it takes longer time.... Once again sorry... In last post i have attached my code. Thanks and sorry...

No, VB is not any faster than LabVIEW.

I'm not familiar with this analyzer but I'm sure the time is being spent in that while loop. I suspect that there is a much more effecient way to get the results without moving the marker, initiate, read, repeat. Perhaps someone with more experience with the instrument will provide an answer. In the meantime, study the manual and see if there is an operation that will take a series of readings with one or two commands.
