CreateRTSystemImage when already locked

[kevin.key]

I would like to be able to create an RT system image when the RT is already locked. And from looking at this article (last paragraph of Purpose):

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372398D-01/rtutillib/cvicreatertsystemimage/

It seems like I should be able to call CreateRTSystemImage, if the RT is already locked, but when I do I get an error message that says RT is locked.

I'd like to be able to not have to unlock it before creating the image, because there is the chance that someone else would lock it.

Hi,

What version of CVI Real Time are you trying to do this in?  This may explain what's going on.

This function is a windows only function, but I have version 10.0.

And actually the error message says "Incorrect Password", but you don't get to pass in a password.

We are taking a look into this to see why this isn't working for you.

Thanks for your patience!

A workaround you could try is to use the NI System Configuration API.

You can then login to the RT system using NISysCfgInitializeSession function.  You can then call CreateRTSystemImage.

Thanks, I realized that there was that other library after I posted this. It looks like that one is the library I should have been using all along.
