speed of loading code in labview

[vsa]

Hi all,

I have one code in labview that is a little complicated and it controls my camera. For example, it has more than 10 loops.

Is there anybody knows about how long does it take to loading the program?

because it seems to me it takes more time and I want to understand it is correlated to my camera or my code!

I mean in usual way . How is the speed of the labview?

Best regards

Actual loading of the program is based on the size of your program.

How big is your EXE on disk?  A larger EXE doesn't necessarily mean longer load times, but it is a sign of a large amount of code, which can mean a long load time.

To get around this developers try making splash screens, that get loaded quickly just to show something, which then loads the top level VI dynamically and runs it.

Here is a big long discussion on LAVA on the subject.  The Actor framework has examples on how to do this as well.

And the number of external libraries it references, their respective loading time, etc, etc. Some external DLLs easily can add many seconds to the loading time of an application/LabVIEW program.

The exe files i've done in different project have been between 5 sec and 5 mins startup time. The projects have also ranged from 50 to 5000 VIs.

Thanks for your replies.

What do you mean with  EXE on disk?

...the EXE file size.
