Getting tarted with LabWindows/CVI realtime

[qmor]

Hello everyone, i'm getting started with LabWindows/CVI and it's realtime module. I've got a NI PCI-6221 and i want to use it to generate some signals. I want to know how to communicate the host (control) part of my software and the targetRT part. Please advice me some example or tutorial which describes howto do that.

Have you read through the "Getting Started with LabWindows/CVI" PDF found on the startup screen of CVI? It does a good job of discussing how you make a RT CVI project.

Yes, of course, but i need more. This tutorial only describes how-to build application for RT target, but does't describes how to communicate with host application and many else.

There are several examples available in the example finder under Toolkits and Modules » Real-Time which should demonstrate what you are looking for.

Communication between the host and target is usually done using network published shared variables, the whitepaper below discusses this:

You can find an example of this usage here:

Are these resources what you are looking for?
