Requires: Application Builder or Professional System
In the Project Explorer window, right-click a target and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the target Properties dialog box. Select Miscellaneous from the Category list to display this page.
Use this page to set miscellaneous options for a target.
This page includes the following components:
Automatically close VISA sessions—Automatically closes VISA sessions left open by a target application when the top-level VI becomes idle.
Enable CPU Load Monitoring—(Real-Time Module) Specifies whether to log CPU usage data on the target. Enabling this option slightly increases target CPU overhead.
Downloaded VI Path Alias—Specifies the path alias for VIs deployed to the target. The path alias is the disk path from which deployed VIs appear to load.
When you deploy a VI from the Project Explorer window, you deploy the VI to memory on the target but you do not save the VI to disk on the target. However, when you create a stand-alone application or source distribution, you save the executable files to disk on the target.
Use the Downloaded VI Path Alias as a path alias while you debug a VI, before you build the VI into a stand-alone application or source distribution. For example, when you use the Open VI Reference function to open a reference to a deployed VI that you plan to build into a stand-alone application or source distribution, use the Downloaded VI Path Alias to ensure that the VI appears to load from the same location where you plan to save the stand-alone application or source distribution to disk on the target.
When you use the Open VI Reference function to open a VI deployed to a target, ensure that the VI Path input of the Open VI Reference function matches the Downloaded VI Path Alias plus the name of the VI.
When you change the Downloaded VI Path Alias, you must right-click the target in the Project Explorer window and select Deploy from the shortcut menu before the change takes effect.
Downloaded Installer Path—Specifies the path to the built installer deployed to the target. The installer path is the disk path from which built installers reside.
Silently install on the target, and restart the target automatically if needed—Runs the built installer on the target without prompting you to take any action. If necessary, the target restarts automatically.
