interactive testing

[mike_at_eltron]

I am developing a LabVIEW VI for a test and measurement system to be used on an Advantech PCM-4386F that has two MPC560 data acquisition cards from MicroSys Inc. The method that I have used in the past is to develop and build the VI on a desktop PC than downloading the VI to a target system to test and try to debug it. Is there a way to develop the VI on the PC then interactively with the PC being the controller test and debug the VI that is running on the target system?

Are you deploying a VI to the other PC, or an executable?

With an executable, you can make a debuggable executable and connect to it from your PC using a Remote Connection (under the Operate menu.)

I am generating an executable to run on the target.  What documentation is available describing the process of making a debuggable executable and using a remote connection from the PC to operate it?

Hi Mike,

Have a great day!
