I have an executable that is also accessing shared variables on a cRIO. For testing I'd like to keep the executable running on the cRIO as it will when it is deployed but I would like to run the main application (PC host vi) in the LV environment. Is this even possible? When I try to do this LV always wants to shut down the VI running on the cRIO and deploy again.
I know there is a good reason for this, but it would be nice if this was possible. Would help when it is desirable to test the cRIO under normal operating conditions.
Thanks!

Hello Rob,
Yes this is possible. First deploy your RT exe and Shared Variable into cRIO and set your RT exe as startup. Now exit from your labVIEW project and open host vi only (with out open your project only open host vi) and run your host vi. it will not ask to deploy any rt vi or shared varible.
enjoy..

I'm actually trying to avoid running the exe outside the LV environment. As I am wanting to debug my PC application while running the cRIO as it will in the field.
After reading your post I got the ide of trying to turn "Auto deply" shared variables off (which are located on cRIO). This seemed to work...! Thanks...Malhar!
