I need to rewrite some software for an older test stands that we use. The hardware currently consists of a SBC (486 or Pentium 100) on an ISA bus with 2 custom ISA cards with a flash memory and an Ethernet card. I would like to use the LabVIEW real time software, but as far I know, this will only work on the PXI controllers, the Fieldpoint controller, and some DAQ cards. I need a solution that would work on an ISA bus since I need to re-use the custom cards plus I will have to update about 40 systems eventually. NT embedded could be an option, but I have no experience with it. I don’t necessarily need real time control, just stability. If nothing else, I will have to write it in "C" (would not be my top choice since I do everything
else in LabVIEW). Questions:
- Could I run LabVIEW real time on a SBC on my system?
- Could a system like this be implemented in NT embedded?
- If so, how could I get information about how to do it?
- Are there any other options to consider?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
