Notice Regarding Microsoft Silverlight Installation and Redistribution
The Real-Time Module supports the following operating systems for application development:
Note:
The Real-Time Module installs the following real-time operating systems (RTOSes). Refer to the specific RT target hardware documentation for information about which RTOS your target uses.
Note: Each RTOS supports only a subset of LabVIEW features. Refer to the Real-Time Module»Unsupported LabVIEW Features book on the Contents tab of the LabVIEW Help for a list of unsupported LabVIEW features for each RTOS.
You can install all of your LabVIEW products, including the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, using the LabVIEW 2011 SP1 Platform DVDs. You can find installation and activation instructions for the Real-Time Module in the following locations:
To request additional LabVIEW 2011 SP1 Platform DVDs, refer to the National Instruments Web site.
Note: If you purchased this product with an NI Software Suite or NI Product Bundle, use the installation media that shipped with your purchase to install this product.
After you install the Real-Time Module on your development computer, you can complete the following steps to install and use Japanese and Simplified Chinese languages on an RT target.
Note: You cannot use Japanese or Simplified Chinese characters in directory names or file names on the RT target.
The LabVIEW 2011 SP1 Real-Time Module includes the new OPC UA VIs. Use the VIs on the OPC UA, OPC UA Server, and OPC UA Client palettes to create a customized OPC UA server application or OPC UA client application and exchange data between OPC UA client and OPC UA server applications. The OPC UA VIs are located on the Data Communication palette.
Refer to the National Instruments Web site for an up-to-date list of known issues in the LabVIEW 2011 Real-Time Module.
