LabVIEW/Projects

From the Team 1432 Robotics Wiki

LabVIEW projects are collections of various LabVIEW programs and files that are managed by one main file. They can contain build settings, configurations, target device settings, and so on. In relation to the CompactRIO, the project window allows building, setting a program as the startup program, and rebooting the device remotely.

Templates

LabVIEW projects are most easily created from templates. Templates provide pre-configured settings, device information, and some default code that is minimally functional. These are intended to provide the basic structure of a program for the given type of template, which can then be customized and specific functionality. For the cRIO robot project specifically, the default code uses the WPI Robotics Library to perform basic interaction with the robot.
