Testing RT apps in OS X without DAQ hardware

[andrew_johnson]

I am starting a project with OS X for PXI-RT chassis DAQ. I don't have the chassis here, how can I develop and debug my application before I connect to the chassis? I don't seem to be able to bring up the FIFO subVIs with their libraries linked unless I set a target to physical RT hardware. I'll appreciate any tips the OS X RT experts can offer up here.

Andrew,

In the Call Library Node configuration dialog, change the path to "nbfifo.*". Click OK, leave this VI in memory, then mass compile RTFIFO.llb.

It appears LabVIEW had a problem locating the nbfifo framework and simply defaulted to an incorrect path. I think this might have happened to the DAQ VIs (and any other VIs that call into a plugin framework) as well.

This has been noted as a bug and is currently being worked on.

Bob, thanks very much, your suggestion fixed the problem and I'm able to proceed with program development.
