You can view the front panels of VIs running on the RT target on a display device connected to the RT target. Additionally, you can transfer control of the front panel to the RT target in order to interact with front panel objects using input devices connected directly to the RT target.

Viewing Front Panels

Complete the following steps to view front panels using the embedded UI:

1. Connect a display device to the RT target. You also can connect other UI devices, such as a mouse and keyboard.
2. Enable the embedded UI on the RT target.
3. Add the RT target to a LabVIEW project.
4. Add a VI under the RT target in the Project Explorer window.
5. Right-click a VI under the RT target in the Project Explorer window and select Deploy.
6. Run the VI from the host computer.

The front panel of the VI displays on the display device connected to the RT target. Although you can now view the front panel, you cannot yet interact with front panel objects using input devices connected to the RT target. To transfer control of the front panel from the host computer to the RT target, complete the steps in the next section.

Controlling Front Panels

After you deploy a VI to an RT target, complete the following steps to transfer control of the front panel to the embedded UI:

1. If necessary, run the VI from the host computer to display the front panel on the embedded UI.
2. Right-click the RT target in the Project Explorer window and select Disconnect.

You can now interact with front panel controls, indicators, and menu items, as well as stop and run the VI, using the embedded UI.
