Where can I purchase a VME embedded controller that runs LabVIEW RT?

[Randy H.]

I have never used RT. We have a VME rack of cards and must embed the controller. I have a Baja PowerPC that I am considering using. I don't know where to start with an operating system or how to target this operating system once it is installed.

Dear Randy,

LabVIEW RT is not supported on any VME embedded controllers. For more information, please review the following entry in our KnowledgeBase. KnowledgeBase 2WDCUIQS:Can I Install LabVIEW Real-Time on a VXI Controller?

I was thinking that I could run a windows system on the VME controller and have a PMC card installed on the VME controller running Pharlap. Then I wanted to try to target the PMC card similar to targeting a PXI Real Time card. Does this sound possible?

Dear Randy,

As explained in the Knowledge Base, LabVIEW RT can only target a PXI controller, an RT DAQ board, or a Field Point Controller. LabVIEW RT does not support targeting anything besides those three options.
