Start up issue

[Mmoon]

Hello,

I am attempting to use the PXI 1031 controller to run a labview script that I have written that acquires current values, in milliamps, and writes the data to a TDMS file continuously. unfortunately I can't get my PXI chassis to function passed the start screen ( I have attached a photo of the screen im referring to). Does anyone know how to fix this? PLease let me know

Hi Mmoon,

From the screenshot, it looks like your Real-Time PXI Controller has finished booting. That controller is currently running a Real-Time operating system and LabVIEW Real-Time, and from my experience that boot-up screen is fairly standard. What PXI Controller are you using? The PXI 1031 is the chassis, and the controller should be in the left-most slot of that chassis.

Are you intending to run an application written for Real-Time or for Windows? These systems are quite different in terms of pushing an application to them, though a small number of our PXI controllers have the ability to dual boot. Typically a PXI controller is either Windows or Real-Time and not both, however. 

If the PXI is on a network with other computers, can you ping the IP Address shown on the screen from a different system?

Hello GatorBait,

Im using the PXI-8184 controller.

Yes I would like this chasis to run for Real-Time.

I will attempt to ping the computer and let you know what happens.

Thank you

If you are running the real-time operating system, then you will not actually see anything except the boot-up screen on the video output from the chassis. You will instead need to connect to the controller using the ethernet IP address, then open a LabVIEW Project from you host computer, and then deploy your real-time code from the project.
