Computer requirements as a Machine Vision LV RT Target

[Eblanco]

I am developing a Machine Vision application in which a computer needs to use as RT Target.
I would like to clarify some issues in order to choose the proper hardware components.

1. Does LV RT supports Intel Core 2 Quad family of processors? I think so.

2. I am pondering two hardware architectures:

 A. ATX motherboard.
 B. Single Board computer in a Backplane.

   Are both posible?

3. At least a PCIe card (NI PCIe-8255R IEEE 1394 Interfaces with Reconfigurable DIO) needs to
   be used. Does it makes any difference wether is it plugged in an ATX motherboard(A) or in
   a passive blackplane (B)?

4. Is the HARD DISK a must? Could a Compact Flash + IDE adapter be used instead?.

Any help with any of these questions is welcome.

Hi Eblanco,

1. yes labview rt 8.5+ supports multicore processor. (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/8239)

2. i know ATX motherboard only. sorry for that.

3. in ATX motherboard you can use it.(no idea in single board) (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=200&message.id=12624&requireLogin=False)
