Hello,

Hello Azzam87,

If I understand correctly, you have installed LabVIEW RT Module on your 8106 and want to now what it's good for.

In a quick summary: you will be able to address and configure RT targets  from your host computer to later run your deterministic applications in RT. You need LV RT module on your host (not necessarly on PXI controller) also for being able to develope your RT applications.

You can find your Real Time documentations here (or similarly): C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\manuals

You can also find RT help here: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview-real-time-module/page/user-manual-welcome.html

If you want to install RT Operating System on your controller to later use it as a RT target, you need to purchase the LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment License for NI PXI Controllers.

Finally, here is a really good tutorial that helps you discover the opportunities in the RT platform: https://www.ni.com/en/shop/data-acquisition-and-control/add-ons-for-data-acquisition-and-control/wha...

Hello,

i would like to thank you for your answer,

also i would like to ask is I need a real time operating system for the target and what is the role of  LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment License for NI PXI Controllers.......I think that it is just for laws issues

Best Regards!

Hello,

LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment License for NI contains the real-time operating system itself and one deployement license (latter one because of laws). You cannot use other real-time operating systems than ETS RTOS, if you want to program the target from LabVIEW.

The role of this license is exactly what you're looking for: converts a Windows PXI system to a LabVIEW Real-Time target.

You can read more clicking the link above.
