saving vis in a development distribution in labview 8.2

[Timothy 123]

Hi,

In labview 7.1, you could save your vis in a .llb as a development distribution. How do you do this in labview 8.2. There is no save with options item in the File menu.

Thank you,

Tim

Yes you can.

You have to use projects (which is good IMHO), and create a build specification of the type 'source distribution'. In the target settings you can select llb.

It's in the manual, which you can access by having the Context Help window open. Then, when you hover over the "Build Specification" tree item the Context Help will have a "Detailed Help" hyperlink. Click this to get to the help.

Short answer: Right-click on the "Build Specification". Select "New->Source Distribution". If you need an explanation of the individual panes, click on the "Help" button in the lower right. If you really want an LLB (not recommended), select "Custom" for "Packagin Option" and then the check box "Destination is LLB".
