RT embededd controller O/S version?

[velectro]

Hi,

How do I can know the version (7.1, 7.0, 6.1) of the pharlap on my cRIO 9004 ?

It seems you are looking for the LabVIEW RT version, not the Phar Laps version.

Drop an Application Reference into your VI (Application Control palette), wire it to a Property Node, then select the Operating System -> Version Number property.  Wire the property to a string indicator to get the OS version number.  However, on my LabView 7.1 RT target, this comes up with 3.4.

If this cRIO has some sort of VGA output, perhaps you can hook that up to a monitor and get the version number from the LabVIEW welcome message?

Hi velectro,

In addition to using the Property Node that kehander suggested, which is the programmatic way for knowing the version, you can use NI-MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) to see both LabVIEW Real-Time and the OS versions for your controller. Just follow these steps:

1. Start MAX and expand its Remote Systems category
2. Browse to your cRIO controller and expand it
3. Expand the Software folder under the controller. If LabVIEW Real-Time (RT) is installed in the controller then you will see it in the tree followed by the version number (e.g. "LabVIEW Real-Time 8.0")
4. To see the version of the Operating System (Pharlap), then right-click the Software folder and select "Add/Remove Software"
5. At the dialog that pops up, click the "Update OS..." button that is the lower left corner. A dialog telling you the version of the OS will pop up (e.g. "Version on the remote target: 10.1"

Hope this helps.
