Real-time OpenMP LabWindows CVI support

[jkonkle]

It appears that LabWindows CVI does not support OpenMP when using a real-time target.

When I change to a real-time target:

Build -> Configuration -> Manage Configurations... --> Edit... --> Target Settings --> Run-time support: --> Real-time only

This checkbox is grayed out:

Build -> Configuration -> Manage Configurations... --> Edit... --> Build Options... --> Enable OpenMP Support

I could not find any documentation stating that OpenMP is not supported on the RT target. Is the RT target explicitly not supported, or is there another setting I need to change?

Hi,

Unfortunately OpenMP is not supported by CVI in RT environments. You'll need to use thread pools in order to multithread in CVI:
