Lab windows GUI and NI Labview RT Module Application Interaction

[Rkanna]

Hi All,

I have a developed a Real time application using Ni Labview. In this I have developed a GUI using NI Labview and RT Module in Labview. 

Iam able to read and write data from HOST PC GUI to the RT Module applications. I am exchanging the data between GUI and RT Module using the shared variables.

Now I want to recrate the GUI using the Labwindows. I still want to use the RT application developed in NI Labview.

So Previously GUI was build in Labview and RT Application running on RT Target is also built in NI Lab view.

Now I want to Create the GUI in NI Lab Windows CVI and still use the RT Application build in NI Labview.

Is it Possible to do it. 

Can any provide any links.

Waiting for your replies.

Ramesh.

Communications between CVI and LabVIEW using network variables is indeed possible: I have never used LVRT till now but environments are built in such a manner that it is possible as well.

You may start running Distributed System Manager on the PC that is inteded to run the CVI app and see if the RT system is listed and its variables can be seen: you may need to appropriately configure your network and the firewall(s) to achieve the communications between the systems (see the related document linked later). Once the communication is established and variables can be seen in the PC, you may see them in a CVI app as well.

Look at this community example for a sample project that interconnects a LV program with a CVI one.

Useful links about the use of network / shared variables in CVI are the following:
