How do you install Windows XP on PXI-8186-RT with LabView RT installed?

[oledesma]

The PXI-8186-RT that we are using came with LabView Real Time installed. We need to use it with Windows XP, but wish to keep LabView RT installed for dual use. How is Windows XP installed on this unit to coordinate the dual boot with the switches?

Since you have your 8186RT controller, you should also have a LabVIEW Embedded Software CD. After having installed WinXP on the controller, just install the Embedded SW CD on your host PC and from here download LV RT onto the PXI-8186. This would allow you to embed LV RT on your fresh WinXP installation.
If you do not have the SW CD just contact your sales representative to obtain one.
