I am really interested in using Actor Framework on a real time system, specifically compactRIOs. I have had a lot of success in running AF as part of a Windows application, and have a moderate understanding of how it works. However, when I go to run it as part of a real time project, I run into trouble.There seems to be something in the Launch Actor.vi that causes the compactRIO to lock up. After you deploy the project, LabVIEW gives an error that it can't connect to the compactRIO, our project doesn't run, and the only way to get the compactRIO responding again is to pull the plug.I have tried to boil this down to as simple of a startup sequence as I can. If I try to run a VI with just the Launch Actor.vi in it, it still crashes in the same way. As a debug, we created a project from scratch that launched a simple VI using the start asyncronous vi used in Launch Actor. We started it with the same options (reentrant, fire & forget) that Launch Actor uses. It was able to run fine, and the simple VI inside ran as it was supposed to. My question is not only if anyone has an answer for why this is happening, but also if anyone has any ideas as to where to start looking for what's causing it to lock up?

That's not my call to make, but I would bet that it is not going to be fixed in 2012. It'll be a fix in some future verison of LabVIEW.
