Is LabView Real-time for Compact FieldPoint necessary ?

Hello !

Is LabView Real-time for Compact FieldPoint (cFP) necessary ?

(in german: Ist für die Nutzung von Compact FieldPoint LabView Real-time notwendig ?)

Thank you.

Yes, you will need LabVIEW Real-time to run applications on the cFP.

Not necessarily.

If you are using a controller module such as the cFP-2220 to run a program on, then yes.

But if you are using a network module such as a cFP-1804, then the program runs on a Windows PC and the real time module should not be necessary.

Hi ! 

Thank you for the responses. :womanhappy:

I don't want to use the stand-alone embedded-controller of the cFP-2220 but rather the Pc with LabView for data logging and graphics (using Ethernet).

Is LabView Real-time for my application necessary ?

Hi,

if you just wanna use Labview for logging and graphics (using Ethernet) AND you do NOT use a Real-Time cFP-Controller then you do not need Labview Real Time.

E.g. if you use NI cFP-1804 - Ethernet/Serial Interface for Compact FieldPoint.

(https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/model.cfp-1804.html) 

If you are using a Real Time Controller than you will NEED Labview Real-Time. 

You cannot work without it!!!
