why i need to compile again and again after editing?

[roxylat]

Hi all,

I would like to ask you something about compiling. Before i run my program i've got to compile for the first time . But whenever i stop running and edit my program, i need to recompile it again . Is it the normal condition or not? could you advise me something about that ?

Thank you .

with respect ,

You probably need to give us a few more details.

Is this about LabVIEW? Are you using plain LabVIEW or some specialize flavor (e.g. RT, embedded, FPGA, etc.).

(It is normal that a program needs to be recompiled if you edit the code, but in LabVIEW this is automatic and typically near instantaneous.)

Hello Roxy,

     Based on what you have stated in your question is that you are wondering why you have to recompile your program after you make an edit.  If you are working with any language (C, C++, C#, etc...) you have to recompile after an edits in order to run.  Also if you are working with LabVIEW and are making a executable program, you must recomile to set those changes in effect.  based on the information that was provided I feel it is safe to assume that you are seeing normal results.  If you are just running a LabVIEW VI, without making an executable you shouldn't have to build/compile at all.

I hope this information helps.

Build is not the same as compile. When you are using the development environment., each VI is compiled before it is run. After an edit, when you click the 'Run' button, the VI gets recompiled.
