LabVIEW RT

This section explains software installation and switch configuration for LabVIEW RT on your

PXI controller.

LabVIEW RT Software Installation

The following section describes the necessary steps to get your PXI embedded controller set

up to run LabVIEW Real-Time. In this section you will configure the controller boot mode,

verify or change IP settings, and install LabVIEW Real-Time software.

Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW RT software.

1. Boot the NI PXI embedded controller into the real-time operating system. Refer to the

LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches section or the LabVIEW RT Setup Menu section in

this document to configure the controller for booting into LabVIEW RT. The PXI

controller automatically boots into LabVIEW RT Safe Mode when no software is

installed. LabVIEW RT Safe Mode loads with the basic real-time operating system and

automatically attempts to connect to the network using DHCP. If DHCP is not available,

it then connects to the network with a link-local IP address.

Tip You can connect a monitor to the desktop PC to display startup messages

such as the IP address.

2. Open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on another computer in the same

subnet and expand the Remote Systems branch. MAX lists the PXI controller as the

controller model name followed by the MAC address (for example, NI-PXI-8840

00802f108562).

Note The other computer must have LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, and any

desired drivers installed.

Tip Record the PXI controller MAC address, located on the side of the

controller, for use in identifying the controller. You also can remove the label

and place it on the front of the controller for easier access.

3. Click the appropriate PXI controller entry to access the Network Settings tab in the right

pane view.

4. (Optional) Enter a name for the RT target in the Name text box.

5. (Optional) Set the network configuration options of the RT target in the IP Settings

section and click the Apply button. For information about configuring network settings,

refer to the Configuring Network Settings book, accessible by browsing to MAX Remote

Systems Help»LabVIEW Real-Time Target Configuration»Configuring Network

Settings from the Contents tab of MAX Help.

Note When any IP or identification settings are changed, you are prompted to

reboot the controller for the changes to take effect. Click Yes to reboot the RT

target automatically. You may also reboot the controller by right-clicking the

target name under Remote Systems and selecting Reboot.

After rebooting the PXI controller, it appears in the Remote Systems category with the

assigned name.

6. Expand the PXI controller view in the Remote Systems branch and select Software.

7. Click the Add/Remove Software button in the toolbar to launch the LabVIEW Real-

Time Software Wizard.

8. Install the LabVIEW Real-Time software and device drivers that you require on the RT

target. Refer to the NI Web site at ni.com/info and enter the Info Code etspc for the

latest information about supported software.

After software installation, the controller automatically reboots, and you now can program it

using LabVIEW Real-Time.

Note Refer to the RT Getting Started Guide on your host computer for more

information about setting up your RT target.

LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches

Use the LabVIEW RT configuration switches to configure LabVIEW RT if it is installed on

the controller. If you are not using LabVIEW RT, these switches should remain in the OFF

position. The controller reads these switches only after a system reset.

The NI PXI-8840 Quad-Core controller includes the following LabVIEW RT configuration

switches:

• Switch 1—Boot LabVIEW RT: Set this switch to ON to boot LabVIEW RT.

• Switch 2—Boot Safe Mode: Set this switch to ON to boot LabVIEW RT into safe mode

to reconfigure TCP/IP settings and to download or update software from a host computer.

This switch overrides the behavior of Switch 1. Booting the controller into safe mode

does not start the embedded LabVIEW RT engine. After changing the settings or

software, reboot the controller with this switch OFF to resume normal operation.

• Switch 3—Disable Startup VI: Set this switch to ON to prevent VIs from automatically

running at startup if the controller becomes inaccessible because of a startup VI.

• Switch 4—Reset IP Address: Set this switch to ON to reset the IP address and other

TCP/IP settings to their factory defaults. Use this switch if moving the controller to a

different subnet or if the current TCP/IP settings are valid.

Note By default, the target automatically attempts to connect to the network using

DHCP. If the target cannot initiate a DHCP connection, the target connects to the

network with a link-local IP address or 169.254.x.x.

The following figure shows the location of the LabVIEW RT configuration switches. The

switches are shown in the OFF position.

Drivers and Software

Your hard drive includes a directory called images in its root that contains software and soft

copies of manuals for the peripherals. The directory structure under the images directory is

logically organized into several levels.

In the images directory are drivers and NIDRIVERS directories. The drivers directory

contains driver installers for the system peripherals. These files and directories are copied

exactly from the manufacturer distribution disks, so the naming conventions vary from

peripheral to peripheral. The NIDRIVERS directory contains the GPIB and PXI Platform

Services drivers preinstalled on the controller.

Data Storage

The NI PXI-8840 Quad-Core has the following data storage features:

• 2.5 in. SATA notebook internal hard drive

• USB storage support—USB CD/DVD-ROM, mass storage device, or floppy drive
