Running PDA VIs (PDA Module)

Running a VI executes the operation for which you designed the VI. You can run a VI if the Run button on the toolbar appears as a solid white arrow, shown as follows.

The behavior of the Run button in PDA VIs differs from LabVIEW for Windows.

If You Want to Build, Run, and Deploy

Click the Run button in a PDA VI to build the PDA VI into a PDA application, deploy the PDA application to the PDA target, and run the PDA application on the PDA target. LabVIEW prompts you to create a build specification if you do not have an existing build specification for the PDA VI.

Tip  You also can deploy a PDA application from the Project Explorer window.

If You Want to Build without Deploying or Running

Press the <Ctrl> key while you click the Run button to build the PDA VI into a PDA application without deploying or running the PDA application. LabVIEW prompts you to create a build specification if you do not have an existing build specification for the PDA VI.

If You Want to Start a Debugging Session

Click the Pause button, shown as follows, and then click the Run button to start a debugging session. LabVIEW prompts you to create a build specification if you do not have an existing build specification for the PDA VI.
