Possible to convert a VI to CVI code?

[Suvin]

Hi all,

Is it possible to convert a lavview vi to CVI code?

You could use the new LabVIEW C code generator

Or you could build your vi's into dll's and call from CVI

Sure, you just have to be competent in both languages.

(P.S. This was the first result on google for "convert labview to cvi")

But do we need Labview runtime in a PC to run Labview dll, or CVI runtime will do?

If you had followed the link on the page that Asbo gave you you would have found

Note: The LabVIEW runtime engine includes supporting functions that are required for any code built with LabVIEW and used on another computer. The appropriate version of the runtime engine is required to execute a DLL.

No you need LabVIEW 2010 for this! But I wouldn't expect to much of this. Creating a DLL in LabVIEW and using it from the C environment is certainly going to be an easier solution.
