jma_1 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Greetings, Due to limited licenses, I cannot install Labview on all the machines I would like. Consequently, the development and deploying are often on separate computers. Does anyone know of a viewer which would open a vi and allowing browsing of the front panel and code? The viewer would be like a '3-d model' viewer where you can only view the model and manipulate it, but not alter. If no, does Labview support introspection and reflection like java -> build Labview exe that encapsulates the vi? Thanks for your time. JMA Quote

JMA We do have the introspection, but only on development clients. In the runtime engine, there is no support for looking at the source code. Indeed, when you deploy to a runtime engine, we strip out the diagrams from the save file and all that remains is the compiled assembly instructions, the front panel, and the dataspace. You can take images of your block diagrams (there are methods in the development system for getting PNG or other graph file formats of the diagram) and send them along with your VIs if you want people to be able to look at the block diagram.

crelf Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 We do have the introspection, but only on development clients. Hey Aristos - what ever happened to the LabVIEW Player? With the LabVIEW Player, you can open and run Player VIs, view the block diagrams, and use the debugging tools to view program execution. Quote
Jim Kring Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Hey Aristos - what ever happened to the LabVIEW Player? See here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2832 The LabVIEW Player is now obsolete. The LabVIEW Player and the LabVIEW Player VI Creation Toolkit are no longer available for download from the Drivers and Updates section of ni.com. Quote
crelf Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 See here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2832 I knew is was obsolete (the link I posted says so too) - I was just wondering why it was ditched? Quote
Yair Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Stephen, if I remember correctly, the documentation for the Get Diagram Image Scaled method used to say that it would work in the RTE (when used on a VI with a BD, obviously), but the method itself did not work. Is this still the case with 8.2? Quote
LAVA 1.0 Content Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 How about debug licenses? I remember using these at a place I worked previously, specifically for fixing "in situ" problems. They aren't free, but they aren't full price either. I tried to find pricing before posting this, but couldn't ... Quote

JMA I am not sure how many licenses you have, but If you have at least 5, you could get a VLA. If you have a VLA you have an option of computer based or user based licenses, if you have user based you can have two licences per person (not simultaneously) this would effectively double the number of machines you can have Labview Installed on. The more license you have on the VLA the more of a discount you get for additional licenses. One caveat is you must have all licenses on a SSP (discounted). I may have got some of this information wrong, take a look at the VLA and see if it will help. :thumbup: Quote
