Reproduction of Simulation Interface Toolkit example

[le_jean]

Hallo everyone,

in trying to reproduce the example found in the Simulation Interface Toolkit How-To I am facing an error with LabVIEW 2009.

I have succesfully created a host-VI working with the Simulink .mdl-file on localhost as Simulation Environment which runs well.

And I can succesfully compile the desired .dll-file (sinewave.dll) with Simulink and nidll.tlc.

But if I want to use a cRio-9024 as Real Time-Target with FPGA-Interface I get the following error when I start the Host-VI:

<<<

Missing Simulation Model File

The simulation file sinewave.out couldn't be found in the expected paths. Please FTP the file manually to your Real-Time system.

The following expected paths do not contain the simulation model:
C:\[...]\sinewave_nidll_vxworks_rtw\sinewave.out
C:\[...]\sinewave_nidll_rtw\sinewave.out

This is the resulting deployment status:

Why should I produce a file called sinewave.out? I don't think I really need it.

Can anyone please tell me how to employ the sinewave.dll properly so that it works on my cRio?

(I don't want to use hardware I/Os yet, just run the .dll on the cRio.)

The best help for would be a step-by-step description coming from a working VI which uses sinewave.mdl inside LabVIEW and having sinewave.dll ready for use.

Must I consider any other document to be able to finish this example?

Thanks for your effort!

Hi, please look at this tutorial:

Hallo Marco,

thanks for your advice. I will give your hint a try.

But I wonder why I need an .out-file? Is the cRio 9024 device a VxWorks-based target?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Jan,

yes it´s a VxWorks Target.

Great help, Marco - thank you again!

Finally I can run the simulation on the cRio.
