Hello Lidia,

your description is too vague for me to understand the question. Can you please describe which version of LabVIEW and which hardware (if any) is involved (FieldPoint, PXI RT, etc..)?

Regards,

I'm using LabVIEW 7.0 in Linux and my hardware is a embedded PC. It's a PC 104 TS 5500 of Technologic System. I need to access the counter register to the Watch Dog Timer with LabVIEW 7.0. Can I this?

Thanks

Hello Lidia,

what you can do in LabVIEW is:

-Use the In Port / Out Port to access shared memory (i.e. to control a sound board)
-Call shared libraries with the Call Library Node

So, in order to achieve what you need, you should ask the embedded PC manufacturer if the register/counter can be accesed by any of those 2 ways (shared memory or through an API/function call).

If you must do it with shared memory, here's a link to those functions for the Linux version of LabVIEW.
