modules cvs

[mvonstein]

Sorry to cross-post, but not sure if this should be here or in the Labview section. 

Currently on the Run Labview step from VBAI I have to do the project wizard and save to an LLB or the same folder, then copy the whole thing up to the CVS.  Each program change/iteration takes about 30 minutes!  Is there a better way?

What modules are required to deploy an app directly to the CVS.   FPGA or Real Time or both?

Thanks,
Mike

I don't think getting LabVIEW RT will help. I assume most of the time is making the LLB. Even if you did get LabVIEW RT, it would only automate deploying the LLB to the target, but it would still take the same amount of time to build the LLB and copy it. I would recommnd modifying the LLB that's built and as long as you don't use any new VIs from outside of the LLB, you will be fine. If you only use VIs from the created LLB (including vi.lib VIs), then you don't have to recreate the LLB and all you have to do is recopy the LLB to the target.

Hope that helps,

Brad

Thanks for the input.  I'm a big an fan of NI and Labview functionality, but it seems like a lot of this stuff could/should be a lot easier.  It's often hard to tell what works with what until your "already waist deep in the swamp" and find out you can't do something because of a version dependency and you can't go backwards either.   Reminds me a lot of Windows 98 DLL problems...

Thank goodness for these discussion boards...

Thanks again,
Mike
