Is it possible to send a notifier to a RT target?

[MREDAY]

Is it possible to send a notifier from a workstation to a RT target (8145 RT)?

I am trying to construct a SW trigger for a DAQmx Task that I only want to execute when the workstation tells it to.  The Shared variable engine does not support the notifier class (?) so I wasn't sure how to accomplish this (if possible).

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

no, you can't send a "notifier". You can send a command with a shared variable or with the tcp/ip function to your rt target. If you receive this command on your rt device, then you can send the notifier from there.

What about using an Occurence?

If I make shared Occurence Refnum control, can I can use the workstation VI to Set Occurence and the RT VI to Wait for Occurence.

Thoughts?

No,

all elements on the synchronization palette are station specific and cannot be shared in network.

Mike already suggested the way to go: send a command from your host to the RT via TCP or other network capable protocol.

Maybe you want to know about STM. 

hope this helps,

Hi MREDAY,

i think this also don't work. You need something which work with tcp/ip, either shared variales or the tcp/ip functions. I can't see a occurance type for a shared variable. I would send the trigger with tcp/ip functions.
