Running Labview with 2 Targets and a single Host

Hello,

I have to run and control two machines coupled to each other via Labview-RT. I have two separate Target PCs installed with FPGA cards, and a Host PC. Is it possible for me to design a single controller VI so that I am able to control both the machines at the same time using a single front panel?

Your host PC, RT targets and their FPGA devices should have separate VIs.

See Understanding Communication Options Between the Windows HMI, RT Processor, and FPGA

You should refer to LabVIEW Sample Projects & Templates

I think that the target PCs need to be running a Real-Time Operating System.  I do not know how easy it is (in 2023) to do load LabVIEW Real-Time OS on a "modern" PC (one currently running Windows 10, for example).  If you can configure two such PCs, then it should be possible.  All three machines, of course, would need to be on the same Network.
