NI Distributed System Manager

[pvz]

Good day.

I am using a cRIO with time-critical VIs. 

In LV8.5 System Manager, CPU usage was displayed in three colours, red being the time-critical portion of the CPU time.

This was very useful. If the red portion goes to 100%, we have run out of CPU and the time-critical system fails.

In LV2011SP1 NI Distributed System Manager, the CPU graph is not useful any more, just sitting on a constant 100% for my application.

It does display the time-critical portion in %, so if you keep your eyes riveted to the screen you may get an idea of what is happening, but not nearly as useful as the old 3-colour graph.

Can I still some-how use the nice graph from the old LV with the new LV?

Thanks

As long as you enable the VI server and deploy it to the target in 2011 SP1 you should be able to use the Real-Time System Manager (through 8.5) to view the controller.

Although, it does look like there is a known issue with the reported CPU and memory usage from VxWorks controllers. It is documented here.

You can determine what operating system your cRIO is running by checking this KnowledgeBase.
