Deploying and Running VIs on an RT Target (RT Module)
You can add VIs and dependent files under an RT target in the Project Explorer window. When you run a VI under a target, LabVIEW deploys the VI, all items required by the VI, and the target settings to the RT target. Deploying refers to downloading VIs and dependent files to an RT target.
Right-click an item under an RT target in the Project Explorer window and select Deploy from the shortcut menu to deploy the item and any support files for the item to the target. VIs, libraries, and shared variables are downloaded to memory on the RT target. Properties, settings, and built applications are downloaded to disk on the RT target.
You can connect to the RT target and access the front panels of VIs in memory on the target. Right-click an RT target in the Project Explorer window and select Connect from the shortcut menu to open a front panel connection with the target. LabVIEW opens the front panels of VIs, indicating that the VIs are in memory on the RT target. Closing the front panel removes the VIs from memory on the target. Right-click an RT target in the Project Explorer window and select Disconnect from the shortcut menu to disconnect the front panel connection with the target and leave VIs running or in memory on the target.
