Is there any plans to provide support with CVI for the NI real-time hardware

[Tom@BWXT]

I am interested in developing some embedded real-time applications that would use the NI real-time hardware.  However, I would prefer to use CVI over LabView.  Is there any plans to provide this functionality withing the CVI environment?

CVI allows you to create DLLs that will run on the LabVIEW RT platform. See this document for more information. We are also making some improvements for the next version of CVI in terms of RT support. You can evaluate the improvements and provide feedback by signing up for the beta for the next version of CVI.

I hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

In an attempt to try to catch everyone who might have a LabWindows/CVI and Linux or Real-Time interest, I'm going to repost this information in this thread as well. I know this thread has been going on for a few years now, but I wanted to update whoever is interested in the latest LabWindows/CVI modules that we've released to try to address your multiplatform support needs:

So we now have a Real-Time Module, which allows you to develop LabWindows/CVI apps on a Windows machine and run on a real-time PXI or PC target.

Also, to partly address the main subject of this thread, in August, we release the Run-Time Module for Linux, which similarly allows you to develop on a Windows machine as you always have with CVI, and then run your application on multiple Linux distributions.

That's a brief overview of the latest modules, but if you want more information on what hardware is supported and also a more in-depth discussion on the module, take a look at the following resources:

Run-Time Module for Linux: Introduction to the Run-Time Module for Linux Whitepaper

Thanks.
