Running Mobile VIs (Mobile Module)

Running a VI executes the application. 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 Mobile VIs differs from VIs you run on Windows.

Note  Deploying and running applications on an ARM emulator opens a new instance of the emulator every time you deploy and run an application.

If You Want to Build, Deploy, and Run

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

Tip  You also can deploy an 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 Mobile VI into an application without deploying or running the application. LabVIEW prompts you to create a build specification if you do not have an existing build specification.

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.
