Using LabVIEW Projects with the Real-Time Module (RT Module)

Use LabVIEW projects to group LabVIEW files and files not specific to LabVIEW, create build specifications, and deploy or download VIs to an RT target. When you save a project, LabVIEW creates a project file (.lvproj), which includes references to files in the project, configuration information, build information, and deployment information. You must use a project to work with an RT target and to build stand-alone applications.
