Control of a USB power supply from a PXI running the real time engine

[danidpr]

Hello, 

I need to control an USB power supply from my real-time target (PXI) which has installed the Labview Real-time engine (no windows installation).

If I am not mistaken, this is not possible with the USB of the controller (NI PXI-8108) as I do not have windows installed to recognise the device.  As far as I could see, it looks like I need to purchase a special card for the PXI which allows me to interact with USB devices.

Is there anyone who came across this sort of environment to know if this is the right approach?

Thank you very much,

Dani

For those who are interested, in order to control the USB equipment, the next system requirements are needed for a Phar Lap ETS RT OS operating system:

LabVIEW Real Time 2011 or higher
VISA, 5.1 or higher

Upgrading the system, and following the second link, will allow to control such a devices.
