Problem: How do I change the default non-Windows target for the LabVIEW Lesson Manager window?
Solution: The Lesson Manager window is an alternate interface for LabVIEW that an instructor can use to organize and present custom or example VIs to students or novice users. The Lesson Manager window replaces the Getting Started window in LabVIEW.
The Lesson Manager supports one non-Windows target when creating new labs through the New Custom Lab section of the Lesson Manager window. By default, this target is the SPEEDY-33.
Complete the following steps to change the default non-Windows target for the Lesson Manager.
- Log on as an administrator or as a user with administrator privileges.
- Close LabVIEW if LabVIEW is running.
- Open the
LessonManager.ini file, located in the labview\Targets\NI\DSP\LessonManager directory, in any text editor. For better readability, do not use word wrap features in the text editor when editing the LessonManager.ini file.
- Modify the following line in the
LessonManager.ini file to specify the new default DSP target.
Default Target=x
where x is the default non-Windows target.
Modify the line by replacing x with a target entry from the list of hardware devices in the following table.
| Module |
Target |
Default Target Entry |
| DSP Module |
NI SPEEDY-33 |
target1 |
| DSP Module |
Texas Instruments DSK6711 |
target2 |
| DSP Module |
Spectrum Digital DSK6713 |
target3 |
| DSP Module |
Spectrum Digital DSK6416 |
target4 |
| Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors Analog Devices |
ADSP-BF531 |
target5 |
| Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors Analog Devices |
ADSP-BF532 |
target6 |
| Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors Analog Devices |
ADSP-BF533 |
target7 |
| Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors Analog Devices |
ADSP-BF534 |
target8 |
| Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors Analog Devices |
ADSP-BF536 |
target9 |
| Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors Analog Devices |
ADSP-BF537 |
target10 |
| Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors Analog Devices |
ADSP-BF538 |
target11 |
For example, change the line to Default Target=target1 so that the Lesson Manager uses the NI SPEEDY-33 by default.
- Save and close the
LessonManager.ini file in a text-only format. Make sure that the text editor does not change the extension of the LessonManager.ini file.
The next time you open the Lesson Manager window, the default target appears in the title bar.
