After you develop the VI on the host computer, you build the PDA VI into an executable PDA application that you can run on a PDA target. On Palm OS, PDA applications are .prc files. On Pocket PC, PDA applications are .exe files.
You must create a Palm OS build specification or a Pocket PC build specification before you can build the PDA VI into a PDA application. You can create build specifications when you create the project using the PDA Project Wizard. You also can right-click Build Specification in the Project Explorer window and select Palm OS New»Palm OS Application or Pocket PC New»Pocket PC Application from the shortcut menu.
You can have multiple build specifications for the same target. For example, you might want one build specification that generates debugging information and another build specification that does not generate this extra information.

Tip Build specifications are similar to the build settings in the LabVIEW 7.x PDA Module. |
