The NI PXI-8184/8185 controller 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 controller into safe
mode does not start the embedded LabVIEW RT engine. After
changing the settings or software, reboot the controller 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 controller becomes
inaccessible because of a startup VI.
•
Switch 4—Reset IP Address
: Set this switch to ON to reset the
IP address to 0.0.0.0 and other TCP/IP settings to their defaults.
Use this switch if moving the controller to a different subnet or if
the current TCP/IP settings are invalid.
Figure 2-4 shows the location of the LabVIEW RT configuration switches.
The switches are shown in the OFF position.
