Shared Variable Deployment and Hosting

[charmand79]

Hi all,

I am writing a labview RT application where a host PC will communicate with a RIO 9074 to write/update some 400 I/O simultaneously..

I have decided to write an entry level VI on the host PC so that I can pass all data to the RIO and then receive the processed data back. Here is my question... Where should I create the network shared variables in my project?? Under the host PC or under the RIO target?? What would be the difference between hosting the network shared variables in my host PC or hosting them in my cRIO??

Cheers,

Harry
