Note
When using an NI Real-Time controller as the host, you can only use select
controllers with the NI Linux Real-Time operating system that support NI-DAQmx.
Supported NI Linux Real-Time controllers include the IC-317
x
, cRIO-9035 Sync,
cRIO-9039 Sync, or cDAQ-9132/9133/9134/9135/9136/9137 for LabVIEW
Real-Time.
1
To network the cDAQ-9185/9189 to a real-time controller, you need the following items:
•
Supported real-time controller
•
LabVIEW software, if not already installed
•
LabVIEW Real-Time Module, if not already installed
2
•
Driver for the real-time controller, if not already installed
•
NI-DAQmx driver, if not already installed
•
cDAQ-9185/9189 chassis
•
Shielded Category 5 Ethernet cable
Complete the following steps.
1.
Install the LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real-Time Module, and driver software on the host
machine as instructed in the getting started or quick start document for the real-time
controller.
2.
Install NI-DAQmx on the host machine if the driver was not installed in step 1.
a.
