What's the difference between "Labview Real Time" and "Labview Real Time Module"?

[hailey]

This question is quite basic one cause I'm in trouble while installing my PCI-7030/6030E.

From the beggining, I asked tech. support about  "how to install my PCI-7030/6030E".

Since they said I need purchase Labview RT module, I purchased it.

Now, I'm trying to follow the instructions in the following link

But, I found that I have to run "Labview Real-Time" not the "Labview Real-Time module".

I'm confused now.

What is the difference between them?

Can I use my PCI-7030/6030E board with the "Labview Real-Time module" that I purchased recently?

Thanks in advance,

hailey,
LabVIEW Real-Time in this context is the same as the LabVIEW Real-Time Module.  The PCI-7030 is a legacy board and is only supported by LabVIEW 7.0 and previous. 

Hope this helps

Doug,

Starting from your answer, I searched around the postings on 7030E, and  I realized that my 7030E/6030E board is too old and slow to implement a faster control loop (faster than 10kHz).

Thanks for your help.

hailey, This question has come up a couple times recently.  The best option for real time performance, ruggedness, and I/O options is to use a PXI system.  Another great option that gives tremendous processing power and still a lot of I/O options is to turn a desktop computer into a real-time target.  To do this you need to purchase a desktop that meets the minimum requirements. You also need to purchase a license of the ETS RTOS.  Then you can selected from a wide variety of NI PCI based devices that are supported in the Real-Time OS, including the entire M Series of DAQ devices.  This is actually a less expensive way to get more performance and more options than a PCI-7041 board.
