Here's my problem. I have several dozen projects, each of which contain the same VIs (more or less) but are for different hardware configurations. In particular, they all contain 1) a PXI target that contains a unique EtherCAT configuration, 2) a unique startup VI that should run on the PXI, and 3) other peripherals that may have build specifications as well (e.g. FPGAs). Occasionally I need to make a change to the way our code builds, and that means I need to open every single project to make the change. Since the projects are very large, this takes a long time.
My solution is to create a separate program whose job will be to open the selected project, create build specifications with the settings that are common across all the projects, allow the user to select unique aspects such as the startup VI for the PXI, and build any/all other build specifications necessary for the selected project.
I found here a topic disucssing modifying build specifications programmatically, but since I want to create a build specification, I would need to know what every single tag is, how it is used, what its allowed values are, etc. Is there some documentation I can refer to for this? Or better yet an example VI that someone has already put together?
