LabVIEW RT

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

PXI Express controller.

LabVIEW RT Software Installation

The following section describes the necessary steps to get your PXI Express 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.

PXIe-8821 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 5

Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW RT software.

1. Boot the NI PXI Express 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 Express 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 Express controller as

the controller model name followed by the MAC address (for example, NI-PXIe-8821).

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

desired drivers installed.

Tip Record the PXI Express 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 Express 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 Express controller, it appears in the Remote Systems category

with the assigned name.

6. Expand the PXI Express 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.

6| ni.com | PXIe-8821 Getting Started Guide

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 PXIe-8821 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 invalid.

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.
