Configuring Target Properties - National Instruments LabVIEW Robotics Module Getting Started

When the VI runs, the graph indicator displays data that represents the distances to objects in range
of the sensor. Also, the Object Detected indicator is TRUE when the sensor detects an object in
range.
2. Notice that LabVIEW displays the project and target in which the VI exists at the bottom-left corner
of the front panel and block diagram windows. This text indicates the application instance in which
the VI exists.
3. Close the front panel of the VI. The block diagram closes automatically.
4. In the Project Explorer window, double-click the
5. Select Window»Show Block Diagram to display the block diagram of the VI, as shown in Figure 8.
This VI shows a more complex Starter Kit application. The Timed Loop controls the code that
acquires obstacle data from the distance sensor, calculates the heading to which the vehicle drives,
and applies the correct velocity to the drive motors.
6. Close the Starter Kit 2.0 Roaming VI and return to the project.

Configuring Target Properties

Use the Properties dialog box to configure the project settings of the Single-Board RIO target from the
Project Explorer window. You can configure general, VI Server, access, debugging, and miscellaneous
target settings, depending on the target you are configuring.
Right-click the Starter Kit 2.0 sbRIO target in the Project Explorer window and select Properties
from the shortcut menu to open the target Properties dialog box and select an item from the Category
list to display the configuration options. Select Project»Save Project from the Project Explorer window
to save the project and settings you selected for the target in the target Properties dialog box.
You must deploy the target before the settings take effect. Deploying a target refers to applying settings
defined in the project to a target.
Note Deploying a target overwrites the current target settings with the latest settings specified
in the target Properties dialog box.
