Building And Running A Startup Application - National Instruments LabVIEW Robotics Module Getting Started

6. Click the OK button to accept the settings and close the Real-Time Application Properties dialog
box. The build specification name appears in the Project Explorer window under Build
Specifications for the RT target.
7. Select Project»Save Project from the Project Explorer window to save the project and the build
specification settings.

Building and Running a Startup Application

After you create a build specification, you can build and run an application on an RT target. You also
can set the application to launch when you power on the RT target.
Complete the following steps to build and run an application on an RT target.
1. Right-click the Robotics Application build specification and select Build from the shortcut menu
to build the application. The Application Builder builds the application using with the settings you
defined in the build specification. When the build completes, click the Done button to close the
Build Status dialog box.
2. Right-click the build specification and select Run as startup from the shortcut menu. The Run as
startup shortcut menu item sets the application as the startup application, deploys the application
to the target, and prompts you to restart the RT target. When you set a build specification as the
startup application, LabVIEW displays the build specification with a green border around the
specification icon in the Project Explorer window.
