Might be a silly question, but I've been chasing my tail for a little while now trying to figure out: why my Front Panel (Top Level VI) looks quite different on a monitor connected to my cRIO-9035, than it does on my PC.
I try to align and size all of my arrays, but when I deploy the Real-Time build, the Front Panel becomes skewed(see attached). I don't think it's a resolution problem. Resolution on my PC and monitor are set the same. I am compiling and deploying using Windows. Does that matter?
Just wondering why this is such a complication.

Hi brockaslan,
Have you had a chance to find the answer on this?
I found a forum alluding to issues with LVRT executables not being formatted to display front panels. I found this post particularly interesting.

Not sure what the reason for the different positions of your controls actually is, but we've been experiencing similar behavior due to this problem with fonts: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P7i1SAC&l=de-DE
I guess the easiest way for you is to change your front panel control arrays to a single array of cluster, with the cluster containing all elements for one row (test?).
As to the front panel, I think there has been a misunderstanding. With NI Linux Real-Time, Embedded UI offers the possibility to display a UI on real-time targets:

I ended up manipulating the controls individually so they aligned, which was beyond tedious. Had to manipulate one at a time -- build -- then deploy to see how it turned out. It appeared that every control with multiple lines of text for the label were the ones with the most issues. I'm not sure why that complicated things, but the aforementioned was my workaround for the time being.
