After you restart the RT target, the application generated from the build specification launches
automatically and begins running the simulated navigation program.
Note
If you plan to continue editing the RT VI, you might not want the application to
run every time you power on the RT target. To unconfigure the application as startup,
right-click the build specification and select
Unset as startup
and then
Deploy
from the
shortcut menu.
