Is UDP Multicast supported in LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6?

[Danny Diaz]

No, UDP Multicast was not supported in LabVIEW RT 8.6.  We're investigating options for implementing this, but no support for UDP Multicast has been released in any shipping version of LabVIEW RT.

Hi ceyoung,

Danny is correct. There is an article in our Knowledge Base that answers this.

Hi,

I don't understand when I look in examples like UDP multicast send receive an icon next to said can be executed on RT target!!!

is it normal?

thanks

No, this is definitely not "normal", it's an unfortunate example of mis-tagging the example VIs.  VIs are tagged in a number of different ways in the example finder, the ones you mostly see are: 

1.  Written specifically for RT

2.  Written specifically for LabVIEW (Host)

3.  Written for LabVIEW but could still work on RT. 

The multicast examples were tagged with the "Written for LabVIEW but could still work on RT" when they should have been tagged, "Written specifically for LabVIEW (Host)."  We apologize for any confusion, we'll try to make sure this is fixed in the next release of LabVIEW.
