Creating Stand-Alone Real-Time Applications (RT Module)
Use the LabVIEW Application Builder to build a stand-alone real-time application that you can set to run automatically when you power on an RT target.
From the Project Explorer window, expand the RT target, right-click Build Specifications, and select New»Real-Time Application from the shortcut menu to open the Real-Time Application Properties dialog box. Use the pages in the Real-Time Application Properties dialog box to create and configure settings for a stand-alone real-time application. After you configure the settings and click the OK button, the Application Builder creates a build specification under Build Specifications. Right-click the build specification and select Build from the shortcut menu to build the stand-alone real-time application. You also can right-click the build specification and select Set as startup from the shortcut menu to set the real-time application to begin execution when you reboot the RT target.
Right-click a build specification and select Deploy from the shortcut menu to deploy the stand-alone real-time application to the RT target.
If you change the properties of the application or modify any of the files included in the application, you must rebuild and redeploy the application for the changes to take effect on the RT target.
To run a built stand-alone real-time application, right-click the build specification in the Project Explorer window and select Run as startup from the shortcut menu. The Run as startup shortcut menu item sets the application as the startup application, deploys the application to the target, and prompts you to reboot the RT target.

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 for information about setting VIs as startup VIs for RT targets. |
