Format RT Target Programmatically from a Remote Computer without NI MAX

[AGJ_CR]

Overview

 This LabVIEW Example demonstrates how to programmatically format a Real-Time Target from a Remote PC. 

Description

 The attached VI will format a Real-Time target programmatically. This VI could be converted into an executable and then be used from computers that don't have LabVIEW nor NI-MAX installed. The user will be able to select the File System to use and choose to preserve or keep the network settings.

Hardware and Software Requirements

With the LabVIEW Development Environment:

• LabVIEW 2016 or later.
• System Configuration 16.0 or later. 

When converting this VI into an executable, the target computer will only need:

• The corresponding version of the LV Runtime-Engine.
• The corresponding version of the System Configuration Runtime-Engine

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Open and run the VI or executable.
2. Input the IP Address of the Real-Time target to format.
3. Select the desired File System and Network Settings.
4. Click on Go.
