stand-alone application with shared variable

I am developing on LV and LVRT 2011. 

 

On my network I have my development system, a PXI System (LVRT), and multiple PCs without LabVIEW.  Currently I have built 2 applications on my development system that interact with the PXI System (startup.rtexe) via Shared Variables (SV) and network streaming.  The SV library is hosted on my development system.  Now I want to take each application on my development system and make it a stand-alone application that will run on one of the PCs on the network. 

 

I think I should create a stand-alone executable for each application first, then incorporate it into its own installer with LV 2011 Run-time Engine.  Then I can use the installer to put the application on any PC I wish.  But what is the best way to handle the SV library and network streaming?  I want to be able to disconnect my development system from the network and have the PXI system communicate with the PCs.

Hi,

 

I believe the "Developing Portable Shared Variable Applications" tutorial answers your questions. If you plan on disconnecting the development PC from your network you will need to host your shared variables on the PXI chassis.
