switch execution target

[j_sd]

I was using Labview 7.1 where under Operate in the main menu there is an option to switch execution target, after upgrading to 8.6 this option is not available any more under Operate.

so is switch the execution target works differently in 8.6?

Thanks.

If you look at the bottom left corner of your VI, you will see the execution target.

You can right click on it the select different target if available.

Ok I see it, but it does not allow you to switch target while it is running.

what I want to do is run the VI on field point, but I do not want the user to see the front panel, so when I close it it stops, as oppose to labview 7.1 you can switch target to the local computer where the vi will still be running but you won't see the fron panel any more. can we do that in labview 8.6

Thanks.

In the project explorer, right-click on your Fieldpoint target and choose Disconnect.  The VI will continue running on the Fieldpoint unit, but the front panel will stop running and you can then close it.

That works.

Thanks.
