Start deployed cRIO application from PC

[ViltBalint]

Hi,

Do I have any possbility to (re)start a deployed RT application from PC?

Use case: deploy cRIO app --> start PC app --> check if cRIO app is running --> if not start running of cRIO app

Thank,

Balint

RT systems are meant to be headless.  This means they start their application as soon as the boot process is complete.  You should have a state machine for the communications to detect if a host application is trying to talk and potentially run the main code then.

I agree with what crossrulz said.

It is possible to do it your way, but it would be much more risky (you introduce too many processes that can fail).

Having a state machine that will, for example, execute a case with only a wait function unless a specific boolean control is set is much easier.

Thanks for your answers.

In the meanwhile I found a NI topics, which mentions the same, and 2 other option: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F64D92E0BCA34162862573BD0072F807?OpenDocument
