What is needed to run the SimView simulators?


The SimView simulators are developed in LabVIEW. You can run these simulators if you have either

  • the LabVIEW 10 (or later version) development tool installed, or

  • the LabVIEW 10 Run-time Engine installed. You can download and install the LabVIEW Run-time Engine from here. (File name is LVRTE2010std.exe. Size is 175 MB.) (There are various versions of the Run-time Engine. The linked version is selected according to the version of the LabVIEW development system used to generate the simulators.)
    During the installation of LabVIEW Runtime Engine you are prompted to select in a list of five tools which tools to install. It is sufficient to select only LabVIEW Runtime Engine which is the first (upper) tool in the list. So, you should deselect all the other tools in the list. (If you install other tools than LabVIEW Runtime Engine, you may be asked to install hardware drivers etc. which you do not need and which may actually cause some problems.)
