LAbview RT Deployment licence

[Mehdi_Bouzid]

I need your help on an issue :

A customer has the following Architecture :
- Host Mahcine running on windows and where he have the CVI and CVI Real Time 8.5
- a PXI system with 8106 controller.

They want to boot their PXI 8106 on RT so they bought the Labview RT Deployment Licence.

What I need from you guys is the following :
- The instalation sequence that they have to perform
- when they started instyalling the CDs they got a messgae saying that the Real Time 8.6.x is required (which is not available at their side).


Thank you

Is the code developped in LabVIEW or in CVI?

I'm not sure what LV RT has to do with booting if they already had CVI RT 8.5.  

Is this part of development or deployment?  Are they trying to use LV RT 8.6?

I'm trying to understand what you are trying to do.

thanks for the reply.
Let me explain to you the application. The customer is developing his code with CVI in the host machine and wants to deploy it in RT on the PXI so he needs to make his Pxi working as RT controler. Thanks again

Hi Mehdi,

To set up LabVIEW Real-Time deployment on your PXI-8106 controller, you will need to do the following:

1) Load the BIOS by pressing the DEL key on boot. Verify that you see a "LabVIEW Real-Time" section. If not, you need to update the BIOS from (ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/pxi/pxi-8106/BIOS/).

2) Once you can view the LabVIEW Real-Time section in the BIOS,select to boot into LabVIEW Real-Time safe mode and then continue with booting. You should see monitor output indicating that the target is unconfigured.

3) Use NI Measurement and Automation Explorer from your host machine to configure the LabVIEW Real-Time target.  You can set the IP address, load software, etc. After you are finished configuring the PXI-8106 target, you can set the BIOS to boot into LabVIEW Real-Time every time.

4) Develop your CVI Real-Time application and then use the instructions at (http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/bycode/exn6qb) to deploy the application to the Real-Time target. 

Please let me know if you need any additional information, and have a great day!

Thank you Casey,

Is there any compatibility Problem?they have CVI 8.5, do they have to upgrade it or it's fine?

Thanks

Hi Mehdi,

Off hand I do not think there should be an immediate need to upgrade. Using CVI 8.5, the CVI Real-Time Module 8.5, and a LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment License, you should be able to develop and deploy real-time applications to your target.

Where in the process are you encountering the upgrade warning? I am glad to help you with this and make sure that everything goes smoothly for your customer.
