LabVIEW Real-Time Target Configuration

LabVIEW Real-Time Target Configuration

Complete the following steps to configure your remote system for use with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. For a more complete explanation of these steps, refer to the LabVIEW Real-Time Target Configuration Tutorial.

1. Boot into LabVIEW Real-Time
   Before you begin configuration, make sure your remote system is booted into LabVIEW Real-Time. For information about how to boot into LabVIEW Real-Time, refer to Booting into the LabVIEW Real-Time Module.
2. Configure Network Settings
   Your remote system must have an IP address assigned to it before you can do further configuration. If your remote system is not already configured to automatically obtain an IP address, use the Network Settings tab to either manually specify an IP address or obtain one automatically. For more information on network settings, refer to Configuring Network Settings.

   Note  For information on how to connect to a host computer, refer to Connecting to LabVIEW Real-Time Targets.

   Install any relevant software that does not exist on your remote system or update outdated software using the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard. To launch the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard, expand the target, highlight Software under your target, and click the Add/Remove Software icon in the toolbar. For more information on how to install software onto a remote system, refer to Using the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard.
4. Configure I/O
   You must configure any NI I/O devices before you can target them from a LabVIEW Real-Time application. For information on how to correctly configure I/O devices, refer to Device Configuration.
5. Configure System Settings
   For information about how to configure your target's name and locale and add comments, refer to Configuring System Settings.
   
   
   
6. Configure Time Settings
   For information about how to configure your target's time zone and daylight saving time setting, refer to Configuring Time Settings. If your device supports time synchronization, you can also configure time synchronization settings on the Time Settings tab.
