NI Real-Time Hypervisor 2.10 Quick Start Guide
Communicating Between Operating Systems
The NI Real-Time Hypervisor includes a virtual RT console, a virtual Ethernet connection, and
a shared memory feature that you can use to communicate between the general-purpose OS and
the LabVIEW Real-Time OS (NI ETS).
Note
The following sections reference the
NI Real-Time Hypervisor Help
. To open
the
NI Real-Time Hypervisor Help
, select
Help»NI Real-Time Hypervisor Help
from LabVIEW or the NI Real-Time Hypervisor Manager. You can launch the NI
Real-Time Hypervisor Manager while booted into the general-purpose OS only.
Using the Virtual RT Console
Use the virtual RT console to view configuration and troubleshooting information for the
NI Real-Time Hypervisor. For example, you can use the virtual RT console to determine the RT
target IP address. Refer to the
Connecting to the Virtual RT Console
topic of the
NI Real-Time
Hypervisor Help
for more information.
Using the Virtual Ethernet Connection
Use the virtual Ethernet connection to communicate between your general-purpose OS and
NI ETS with remote communication methods. Refer to the
Transferring Data Between
Operating Systems
topic of the
NI Real-Time Hypervisor Help
for more information.
Using Shared Memory
You can share up to 95 MB of system memory between the OSes on your NI Real-Time
Hypervisor system. Use shared memory to transfer data between OSes if remote communication
methods are inefficient
.
Refer to the
Transferring Data Between Operating Systems
topic of the
NI Real-Time Hypervisor Help
for more information.
