I am writing OOP software that acquires data from many cRIO chassis and transmits that information to a remote machine. For testing purposes, we want some of the cRIO chassis to be “Real” and the rest “Simulated”. My project consists of a Parent cRIO chassis class, along with two child classes (Real cRIO and Simulated cRIO). There is also a Parent cRIO method, along with numerous subVI parent and child methods (all with Dynamic object inputs/outputs). Each instance of a cRIO object is created by taking the Parent cRIO method and wiring into it either a Real or a Simulated class. Real instances use child methods that call RT functions, and Simulated instances use functionally-equivalent child methods that avoid RT function calls.
The software is fine as long as the real and simulation instances are directed to RT targets. However, I would like to direct the simulation instances to a Windows target; when I do so, I get complaints about RT functions being called on the Windows target. Is there a way to configure my Project so that the compiler will allow my Simulation instances to run on a Windows machine?
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
