Real-Time Build Application to run in the cRIO

[Quintino]

Hello.

I've an RT project using Scan Interface, and I want to Build an application so the main VI in my project could run in a cRIO-9074 device.

In the Build Specification in the project explorer, I'm made a New / Real-Time Application. Under Source Files, I'm only selected the Main VI I want to run in the Startup VI's.

Under Destination, I've only the startup.rtexe and Support Directory, and that's all.

When I press Build, after some seconds I get the Build status saying that the Build is completed with no warnigs. Pressing the Explore button, I can only see the startup.aliases, starup.rtexe and a project folder. Inside is a errors folder, and inside this one the Internet Toolkit-error.txt and some more error inside the English folder.

I'm posting all the txt error files so someone help me out with this.

Thank you all.

I think those are just error resource files that contain descriptive text if your rt app generates runtime errors.  Did you try to deploy the app yet?

My main VI is done, now I need to create an application file (App.exe for example) so I can install the application I've made in LabVIEW in other cRIO and that makes my application to run on the cRIO without needing the computer.

Many thanks.

First use the LV dev. tools to deploy your built app and run as cRIO startup app.  Once you verified that the app runs correctly then you can use the NI replication tools to save and deploy a image of you cRIO and duplicate to other cRIO targets.

Hello,

And thank you for posting here.

I opened the Exploration Window of compactRIO that I often use. There are also txt error files. However, they don't prevent my applications from running. The files can be here because of a previous application deployed on the CompactRIO. Try to delete them, build your specification again and deploy it on your compactRIO. Please tell me if the error files are created again and if your application runs correctly with and without those error files.

For your information, it's not a .exe whch is created when you build a specification for deploying it on compactRIOs.

Regards,

Thank you for the reply.

I may not have explained myself well. I have in Project Explorer My Computer with Dependencies and Build Specifications where I can make new Application (EXE) and Installer. In Project Explorer I also have my cRIO with all the VI's inside, however the Build Specifications here don't let me create the Application (EXE) nor Installer.

I need to create the installer to let me install my VI's in cRIO devices so I can make the VI run all the time inside the cRIO.

Does this http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-5102 help for what I want to do? I can't make it work right.

Thank you once again.

Do you want to have information about the txt error files or do you want to know how to deploy your application on several CompactRIOs? On numerous ComparRIOs or just a few?
