Use LabVIEW projects to group LabVIEW files and files not specific to LabVIEW, create build specifications, and deploy or download VIs to an RT target. When you save a project, LabVIEW creates a project file (.lvproj), which includes references to files in the project, configuration information, build information, and deployment information. You must use a project to work with an RT target and to build stand-alone applications.
