Scale cRIO NP Shared Variable AFTER Deploying an Executable

[Nathan_S]

I have a project coming up that has about 140 shared variables deployed on an RT target and sharing data at 1S/s over the network.  There is nothing else going on concerning the RT target, just dumping values.  I would like to scale these SV's in the .lvproj to avoid having to write a bunch of scaling code in software. 

My only concern is what happens when I have an executable application running (without LV 2012 installed on the computer).  How would I re-scale these values without having access to the .lvproj?  Distributed System Manager doesn't provide for this.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi Nathan,

Are you also using the DSC module? As the ability to scale shared variables is only available with this module installed.

Hey Arham,

LabVIEW still allows for scaling SV's without the DSC module.  I only have the RT module installed.

Hy Nathan,

Your Shared Variables are within a library in you LabVIEW project. In your Application Properties make sure to include that library. This is shown in Figure 9 in the below white paper.

Thanks for the link, MJ.  I'm not really sure that this article addresses my question though.  Nothing speaks of how to change a cRIO NPSV once running an executable.

You may try with Shared Variables property nodes. I'm not sure whether this requires DSC or not.

However 140 rescalings doesn't seem a lot of work to do even on the PC side.
