What MAX features work on a Real Time Target

[Dave@Ventec]

Working on my first real time project.....  Is there a document / reference that details what MAX features will work on a real time target?

I have found the hard way that:

Tasks do not work.

Renaming a board does work.

Apparently scales do not work.

Please confirm that scales do not work and provide any reference for other MAX capabilities that do or do not work on a real time target.

Thanks

Hi alyeska, 

I thought all of them worked. What system do you have and what would make you say that tasks don't work. I was able to see the task and board I made in MAX in and LV and apply scales to the tasks. Were you running into errors?

when last I tred them output scales do not work under RT.

I tried to report the bug but NI declined to log the bug so I gave up.

Interesting, let me actually try some data. You just are talking about output scales or input scales?

It was ouptu scales.

my customer is another physicist and we both looked at each other and agreed it was NOT  Y=mx+b .

Jesse and Ben,

Thanks for your help.  To be clear I can not get MAX tasks or scales to work on a PXI real time target.  I am using Max version 5.0 and LabView 2011.  I am new to real time targets but not LabView.  Both tasks and scales work fine in testing mode on the host, but neither work after the target is built and deployed.  Both analog read and write tasks and analog read and write scales.

NI Engineering confirmed by phone support Friday afternoon that tasks will not work on a real time target, but I didn't know to ask about scales at that moment....

Sooooo I am looking for some documentation / help so I can quit beating my head against the wall.  Are there any workarounds for scales in real time other than an array with interpolation which is what I am doing for the time being?

Thanks

PS to Ben -  Thank you for all your posts!  I am pleased to see 14,001 land on me - I have learned much from reading your posts over the years.

my customer chose to toss the scales and going with roll-your-own scalling that implements a Y= mx + b .

PS You are welcome.
