Another easy way to navigate to the examples is to use the NI Example Finder, which you can open by going to Help >> Find Examples. Most of the Real-Time Module use DAQ hardware, however you can write and run any VI on a real-time target as long as it doesn't have Windows specific functionality (such as ActiveX calls).
Simulated DAQ devices are not available on real-time targets, however you can also run any VI written for a real-time target on the host Windows target -- it just won't run quite as deterministically. If you are simply trying to simulate a device at this point, that may not matter -- so you could create a simulated DAQ device in MAX for your host computer, and run the real-time examples on your host computer.
Hope this helps!
