unloaded from memory. Click Configure in the Select Target Platform
dialog box to launch Measurement & Automation Explorer and configure
your RT Series DAQ devices.
Resetting the RT Series DAQ Board
Resetting the RT Series DAQ board is necessary only after you first turn on
the system or if communication with the RT Engine cannot be established
or has been lost. Also, reset the board when you change the DAQ
configuration information for the RT Series DAQ board.
Creating Stand-Alone Executables
Use the Application Builder, included in the LabVIEW RT Professional
Development System, to create stand-alone LabVIEW RT applications.
Refer to the LabVIEW RT User Manual and the LabVIEW Application
Builder Release Notes for more information about the Application Builder.
Note
If you have the LabVIEW RT Full Development System, you can purchase the
Application Builder upgrade.
Embedded Applications
Because the RT Series DAQ hardware has no media storage device (for
example, a hard drive), you cannot permanently embed applications on the
hardware. You must launch applications on the host and target them to the
RT Series DAQ device.
Command-Line Arguments
You can use command-line arguments to disable the Select Target
Platform dialog box and explicitly specify a target for the application. You
can use the parameters in a batch file, or shortcut, from your Windows
StartUp folder to automatically launch RT Engine VIs when your host PC
is booted. For example, create a Windows shortcut with the shortcut target:
c:\mybuiltapp.exe -target DAQ::1 -quithost
This command line automatically downloads and runs mybuiltapp on
device 1 and closes the RT Development System on the host PC.
