Programmatically Deploying a VI to a Real-time Target

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>Real-Time Module
Primary Software Version: N/A
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I would like to write a VI for my Windows XP host that will programmatically deploy another VI to my Real-Time target.  Is this possible?

Solution:
Though there is no function on the palette that will automatically deploy a VI from a Windows machine to your Real-Time target, this process is possible using a lower level approach.

The deployment process merely copies the VI onto your Real-Time controller's hard disc and then executes it.    This can be accomplished programmatically by having your Windows VI first copy your Real-Time VI over to your controller using LabVIEW's FTP functions, and then programmatically launching that Real-Time VI.
