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 aer a system reset.
The NI PXIe-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 soware
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. Aer changing the settings or soware, 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.
