How do I convert a PXI8176 from RT to win2000

[Larry Reding]

We have a PXI8176 running LabVIEW RT 6.1 and would like to convert it into a windows OS (win2000) and then run standard LabVIEW on on the system. Can we do this and if yes how.

Hi Larry,

Yes, you can change the OS on your PXI-8176 controller. For directions on how to change the OS, please review "Restoring or Changing the Operating System in a PXI-8171 Series Embedded Controller" at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/26F082D561C912BB86256D080074AD58?opendocument. That tutorial should be able to answer all of your questions.
