The 1MHz timing source is not available for a Timed Loop on my PXI-8187 Real Time system.

How come I can's select the 1MHz timeing source for a Timed Loop on a Real Time PXI system?

Hello,

PXI-8187 RT is capable of sourcing a 1 MHz clock. Is the 1 MHz clock source grayed out when you double click on the timed loop and open up the 'Loop Configuration' window? If so, I would uninstall LabVIEW and resintall it from the Host Computer using MAX.

Yes the 1MHz timer source is greyed out. I have used my DELL desktop with LabView Dev Ctrl Edition to install the LabView RT to the PXI-8187RT. I used MAX from my DELL to install the RT to the PXI system. How do I configure the 1MHz source to be funtional?

Hello kmcdevitt,

I am guessing that one of the dlls associated with this is corrupted and so I would recommend you to reformat the 8187RT controller and reload the software. I am positive that this would solve your issue.

I have applied the Maintenance Releases to update both my LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time from 7.1 to 7.1.1. This seems to have solved the problem.
