NI Real Time Target Support Locked

[Alan Anderson]

"Deploy" is usually not the appropriate command. Instead, choose "Run as startup". If you checked the "always run deployed code" option when you imaged the cRIO, a simple "Deploy" can work, but it's best to be explicit about what you want.

If you created the project on a different computer or in a different directory from where it is now, you might have to fix the Build Specifications to correct a directory link that now points to the wrong places. Right-click on the FRC Robot Boot-up Deployment and choose Properties, then go through the categories to make sure all of the folder names match the location of the project. Check specifically the "Local destination directory" in the Information category.

Thank you very much! The location did not match. After I changed it, the problem is gone. However, when I choose "Run as startup", it says "failed to connect to Real-Time target".

In the Project Explorer, there should be an IP address in parentheses after the "RT CompactRIO Target". For your team's cRIO, 10.35.70.2 is the proper address. If it isn't correct, right-click the wrong value and choose Properties. The "IP Address / DNS Name" field is in the General category. Fix the address and click OK.

(If the address was 10.xx.yy.2, it's because it wan't set properly when you created the project.)

The IP address is correct. Is there any way that it will fail to connect to the real time target?

The "real time target" is the cRIO. You won't be able to connect if the cRIO is not turned on, if it is not on the same network as the host computer you're trying to connect from, if the network addresses are not compatible, or if it hasn't been formatted with the proper image.
