LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches
Use the LabVIEW RT configuration switches to configure LabVIEW RT if it is installed on
the processor module. If you are not using LabVIEW RT, these switches should remain in the
OFF position. The processor module reads these switches only after a system reset.
The NI PXIe-8830mc processor module 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 software from a host computer.
This switch overrides the behavior of Switch 1. Booting the processor module into safe
mode does not start the embedded LabVIEW RT engine. After changing the settings or
software, reboot the processor module 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 processor module becomes inaccessible because of a startup VI.
•
Switch 4—
Reset IP Address
: Set this switch to ON to reset the IP address and other
TCP/IP settings to their factory defaults. Use this switch if moving the processor module
to a different subnet or if the current TCP/IP settings are invalid.
Note
By default, the target automatically attempts to connect to the network using
DHCP. If the target cannot initiate a DHCP connection, the target connects to the
network with a link-local IP address or
169.254.x.x
.
The following figure shows the location of the LabVIEW RT configuration switches. The
switches are shown in the OFF position.
