### Create Executable for Python Scripts

To create an executable from a measurement, measurement authors can use the [pyinstaller](https://www.pyinstaller.org/) tooling. During the executable creation, the user can also embed the User Interface file using the `--add-data "<path_of_the_UI_File>;."`.
To create an executable from a measurement, measurement authors can use the [pyinstaller](https://www.pyinstaller.org/) tooling. If you are using a virtual environment, ensure that pyinstaller is installed to your venv. During the executable creation, the user can also embed the User Interface file using the `--add-data "<path_of_the_UI_File>;."`. The `.serviceconfig` file will need to be included using the `--add-data` option as well.

Typical Pyinstaller command to build executable.

```cmd
pyinstaller --onefile --console --add-data "<path_of_the_UI_File>;." --paths .venv\Lib\site-packages\ <path_of_the_measurement_script>
pyinstaller --onefile --console --add-data "<path_of_the_serviceconfig_File>;." --add-data "<path_of_the_UI_File>;." --paths .venv\Lib\site-packages\ <path_of_the_measurement_script>
```
