How Can I Use Shared Variables On Unsupported Platforms?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Run-Time Engine
Primary Software Version: 8.6
Primary Software Fixed Version: 8.6
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have a target that does not support the Shared Variable Engine (SVE), but I still want to use Shared Variables. Is there any way I can read to and write to Shared Variables without having support for the SVE?

Solution:
You can use the SVE to deploy data only from Windows NT/2000/XP and RT targets. However, you can use the NI-PSP protocol to read and write data on all LabVIEW-supported platforms.

To read and write shared variable values from an unsupported platform, create and deploy a shared variable on the target that has LabVIEW and the SVE, such as My Computer. Then add Shared Variable nodes from the target hosting the SVE to the block diagram of a VI, and deploy the VI to the target that does not support the SVE.

For additional information on deploying Shared Variables to platforms that do not support the SVE see the article on Product Manuals: NI-PSP Networking Technology .
