LabVIEW Projects and Shared Variables (Simulation Module)
To execute a simulation on a real-time (RT) target, you must create a project. A project provides a way to manage VIs, RT targets, dependencies, build specifications, and other files related to the project. You use the Project Explorer window to manage the contents of a project. Launch this window by selecting File»New Project.
Another component of a real-time simulation is the shared variable. You create shared variables to simplify the process of sharing live data between the Windows computer and the RT target.
For more information about the LabVIEW project and the shared variable, including tutorials that introduce you to these concepts, refer to the Getting Started with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module document, located in the labview\manuals\ directory. If you have not installed the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, you can access this document at ni.com/manuals.
