Caution
Make sure all hardware connections are made and power is turned on
before deploying the project. Deployment switches the NI Scan Engine to Active
mode and enables your axes and drive, if connected, so that you can start a move
immediately. Refer to the
Deploying and Running VIs on an RT Target
topic in the
LabVIEW Help
for more information about deployment and for troubleshooting tips.
10. Right-click the controller item in the
Project Explorer
window and select
Deploy All
from
the shortcut menu to deploy the axes, coordinate, and axis settings to the RT target.
