Build VI

Owning Palette: Application Builder VIs

Requires: Base Package

Builds a build specification using the properties in memory that you configure when you right-click a build specification and select Properties. To use this VI, you previously configure the build specification using the Properties shortcut menu option.

If you plan to run a build specification on the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, do not include the Build VI in any of the VIs for the build specification.

Example

	Path to project is the full path to the LabVIEW project (.lvproj) file.
	Name of build specification specifies the name of the build specification. Enter the name that appears under Build Specifications in the Project Explorer window to specify which build specification builds. You can change the name of the build specification in the Build specification name text box on the Information page of the build specification properties dialog box. If you do not specify a build specification, the VI builds all build specifications under the specified target.
	Name of target specifies the target for the build specification. The target is My Computer by default.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	Generated files specifies the paths to the generated build files.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

Example

Refer to the Build Targets Programmatically VI in the labview\examples\project\programmatically build directory for an example of using the Build VI.
