In a Windows system I would like to open a VI, modify it and finally compile it (only this VI) for a different target, for example Linux x64 (cRIO hw).

This is my desire, but I don't found a right method to reach the goal.

When you a create a Build Apecification under a Target in a Project, LabVIEW on Windows OS compiles all the VIs added to the Build Spec for the specific target. So LabVIEW can cross-compile a VI.

I'm wondering if the cross-compile functionality is provided with some function/method exposed.

Hello,

@LogMAN. I tried LabVIEWCLI, but nothing. If you want to run a Build Specification, LabVIEWCLI runs LabVIEW.exe (with splash screen and starting window).

So, I tought another strategy. I used the code from this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2319838/open-a-program-with-python-minimized-or-hidden to create a python script (then exe) to start LabVIEW.exe and hide the visible windows (splash screen and starting window). The final result is very good! 🙂

I attached the code, it is a simple example code that could help someone else.

If you have some suggestions we can improve the code together.

Thank you.

Hello,

I wrote a VI ("ChangeScript.vi") to change programmatically the script of a "MathscriptNode" inserted in another VI ("MathScriptNode.vi").

Because this simple example is a part of a wider project, after the change of the script formula I need to recompile the VI ("MathScriptNode.vi").

I found the VI method "Compile" http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvscript/vi_compile058vi/ to do this action, but this method only compile for Windows target. 

How I can compile programmatically the VI for the target Linux_x64 (cRIO hw)?

The LabVIEW project (LabVIEW 2018) attached contains the example code.

Thank you,

Francesco

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to run "LabVIEW.exe" hidden (I'm using LabVIEW 2018) , so without the splash screen and the starting window.

I tried Method 1 and Method 2 described in this article https://winaero.com/blog/run-a-program-hidden-in-windows-10/, but nothing.

I tried also the INI parameter key "HideRootWindow=True", but only the taskbar icon is hidden.

I asked help to NI Support, but nothing.

This is my last chance:
Somebody knows a way to run "LabVIEW.exe" completely hidden in Windows OS?

Thank you,

Francesco
