LabWindows Real Time minimal software - hardware package

[MM_AIP]

Hello , I need to transform old labwindows (windows 7 32bit based + advantech pcie daq card , hw interrupt based real time application) in a more actual Windows 10 64bit + pcie-6341 daq card real time .

My actual real time loop is 1mS with about 10uS jitter , with 8 16bit ad channels reads , 2 da 16bit channels write and up to 8 digital I/O .

I thought to start the job with :

- Labwindows/cvi 2020 + real time extension

- pcie-6341 card

- start the complex and long sw transformation work .

Are the parts I thought to buy correct for my target ?

I will satisfy my timing needs with this parts or is there something missing ?

Regards

Maurizio

A card like the pcie-6341 is fairly easy to use with niDAQmx but you'd have to restart the acquisition part of your program from scratch, which may not be all that hard if you start from one of the many examples available.

On the other hand, if you want to stick to interrupt programming your old card, I'd recommand shifting to Linux and writing a Linux driver. Depending on what needs to be done, it's not very hard if you have good specifications.

You're stuck with 2019, if you want use real time module.
From 2020 readme.htm:

• LabWindows/CVI 2020 does not include the LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module and does not support real-time applications. Install LabWindows/CVI 2019 to use LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module or if you need support for real-time applications.
