Issue Details

Push pin annotations show up on the VIs in the VI Hierarchy window when connected to a real-time target. What do these annotations mean? They also block part of the VI icon. Can I disable the push pin annotations?

Solution

The push pin annotations show up only when connected to a real-time target to show whether a VI is downloaded onto the real-time target or not. The push pin with the side-view means it has not been downloaded onto the real-time target yet, while the push pin with the upright view means it is already accessible by the real-time target.

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the push pin annotations from the VI Hierarchy window for RT VIs. As a workaround, to view the VI relationships without push pin annotations, then perhaps user could move all the code (temporarily) under the My Computer target in the LabVIEW project, which would cause the push pin annotations to not appear.
