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.
-
Open your project in the VeriStand Editor.
Note You can deploy the system definition without launching the VeriStand Editor.
- In the Project Files pane, double-click a system definition file (.nivssdf) to open the Mapping Diagram.
- In the Configuration pane, click Document.
- Set the target's operating system to Linux_x64.
- Enter the IP Address of the RT target.
- Save the system definition file.
- Click .
- 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 stops the system definition on the target and deploys the system definition on the host.
