How Can I Validate That My PC Will Run RTX? Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>Real-Time ModulePrimary Software Version: 8.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: I would like to run LabVIEW Real-Time on my PC using Real-Time extensions (RTX) for Windows 2000/XP. How can I validate that my PC will run RTX? Solution: LabVIEW Real-Time module for RTX can only be run on certain desktop computers. RTX is an extension-based real-time operating system (RTOS) that is installed on the desktop PC to run along side Windows 2000/XP. The RTOS extension consists of a real-time kernel and a non-real-time kernel sharing the same processor. With this dual-kernel architecture, you can run both the host application and real-time system on the same machine. To verify whether or not your PC can support RTX, download the RTX evaluation version from the Ardence website. Any PC that can run Ardence RTX is supported by LabVIEW Real-Time for RTX. RTX must be installed before LabVIEW Real-Time for RTX is installed. Currently, LabVIEW Real-Time 7.1 is only supported in RTX version 5.5. Real-Time 7.1.1 supports version 6.1 and 6.5 with a minor update, and LabVIEW Real-Time 8.0 supports version 6.1 and 6.5. Although only RTX version 6.5.1 can be downloaded for evaluation from the Ardence website, it can still be used to validate whether or not your desktop PC can run LabVIEW Real-Time for RTX. After verifying that your desktop PC will work with the evaluation version of RTX, uninstall the evaluation version and install RTX version 6.1 that comes with LabVIEW Real-Time for RTX. Although RTX version 6.5.1 is not officially supported for LabVIEW Real-Time RTX 8.0, it is expected to work. In order for your PC to run RTX on a PC you must also verify that Windows SP2 is not installed. The LabVIEW RTX module will only work with Windows XP SP1 or earlier. Also the latest version of LabVIEW that works with the RTX module is 8.2. LabVIEW versions 8.2.1 or later will not work with RTX.
