on your PXI Express controller.
LabVIEW RT Soware 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 soware.
Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW RT soware.
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 soware 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.
