LabVIEW Real-Time
Programming
This chapter contains specific information about targeting
LabVIEW Real-Time to the cFP-21
xx
module, network options for
restricting access to the module, embedding LabVIEW Real-Time
applications on the module, and launching embedded applications
when the module starts up. For general LabVIEW Real-Time programming
information, refer to the
LabVIEW Help
.
Targeting LabVIEW Real-Time to a Platform
You can target LabVIEW Real-Time to the cFP-21
xx
or to the host PC.
When you select a target platform other than the host PC, the
Real-Time Development System downloads any LabVIEW Real-Time
application you subsequently run to the selected target platform. Refer
to the
LabVIEW Help
for more information about the
Real-Time Development System.
Targeting LabVIEW Real-Time to the cFP-21
xx
When you target LabVIEW Real-Time to the cFP-21
xx
, you can run
LabVIEW Real-Time applications on the controller. However, when
targeted to the cFP-21
xx
, LabVIEW Real-Time lacks some features found
in LabVIEW for Windows because the controller does not have all the
software of a PC. The following LabVIEW functions are
not
supported in
LabVIEW Real-Time when targeted to the cFP-21
xx
:
•
ActiveX
•
Front panel datalogging
•
Dialog boxes
•
Printing
•
Programmatic menus
•
Front panel Web publishing
•
NI driver software for non-FieldPoint hardware
