rt help - target monitor control

[TChristensen]

Hello

I am running a realtime setup with my laptop as host computer and a real-time desktop computer as target. Is it possible to control what the realtime desktop shows on screen? i would like to have it show a customized front panel if possible, with an image, some read data and maybe a video feed from the connected camera. I have been unable to find documentation as how to do this.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It's not possible to show a customized UI, except you are using VBAI and targeting one of our RT Vision Systems.

But since you are using an RT Desktop PC you can use "RT Debug String.vi" to display a String at the Video Output and using the Vision Development Module you could use "IMAQ RT Video Out.vi" to display an image at the Video Out.

Keep in mind that an RT Target is meant to be a headless system. To display a User Interface either a Host is used.
