Setting Startup Applications for RT Targets (RT Module)
You can create a stand-alone real-time application using the LabVIEW Application Builder and set the application to run when you power on an RT target. You can create multiple build specifications that configure the settings of stand-alone real-time applications under an RT target. However, you can set only one stand-alone real-time application as startup for an RT target.
Complete the following steps to set a stand-alone real-time application as the startup application for an RT target.
- Open the project in which you created the stand-alone real-time application.
- Expand Build Specifications under the RT target in the Project Explorer window.
- Right-click the build specification under Build Specifications and select Set as Startup from the shortcut menu. LabVIEW displays a green border around the icon for the build specification in the Project Explorer window. If a previous build specification was set to startup, LabVIEW removes the green border from the previous build specification in the Project Explorer window and unsets the specification as startup.
- Right-click the build specification and select Build from the shortcut menu to build the stand-alone real-time application.
- Right-click the build specification and select Deploy from the shortcut menu to deploy the settings to the RT target.
- Reboot the RT target to run the stand-alone real-time application.
 | Note You also can set a VI as the startup VI for an RT target without creating a stand-alone real-time application if you do not have access to the Application Builder. Refer to the National Instruments Web site at ni.com for information about setting VIs as startup VIs for RT targets. |
