Deploying the System Definition File to a Real-Time Target

Deploy the system definition file to the real-time (RT) target to run a project.

Before you begin, install the VeriStand engine to the RT target using MAX.
  1. Open your project in the VeriStand Editor.
    Note You can deploy the system definition without launching the VeriStand Editor.
  2. In the Project Files pane, double-click a system definition file (.nivssdf) to open the Mapping Diagram.
  3. In the Configuration pane, click Document.
  4. Set the target's operating system to Linux_x64.
  5. Enter the IP Address of the RT target.
  6. Save the system definition file.
  7. Click Operate » Deploy.
If a system definition file is already running on the RT target, one of the following happens:
  • If the system definition file on the host computer is the same as the system definition deployed to the target, the host connects to the target and launches the VeriStand Editor without deploying the system definition file.
  • If the system definition file on the host computer is different from the system definition deployed to the target, clicking Operate » Deploy stops the system definition on the target and deploys the system definition on the host.
You can also manage individual targets at run time and configure a watchdog timer for VeriStand to execute during deployment.
