NI Real-Time Hypervisor for Windows

Your NI Real-Time Hypervisor ships pre-configured with everything you need to develop and 
run LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time applications simultaneously on a single controller. 
NI Factory Installation Services (FIS) has equipped your system with hardware that meets the 
requirements of the NI Real-Time Hypervisor. In addition, FIS has partitioned this hardware 
between Windows and the LabVIEW Real-Time OS (NI ETS) according to the preferences you 
specified during the ordering process and the resource partitioning requirements of the 
NI Real-Time Hypervisor.

However, you can assign the resources in your system to different OSes. Refer to the 

Getting 

Started with Your NI Real-Time Hypervisor System

 section for information about completing 

this task.
