Using PCI Express (PCIe) boards with LabVIEW Real-TimePrimary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>Real-Time ModulePrimary Software Version: 8.2 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: Can I use PCI Express (PCIe) boards with the LabVIEW Real-Time Operating System? Solution: Yes, as long as the drivers for your board are supported on the Real-Time OS. NI-DAQmx NI-DAQmx 8.0.1 first introduced support for the NI PCIe-6251 and NI PCIe-6259. NI-IMAQ As of NI-IMAQ 3.7.1 the following PCI Express boards are supported in RT ETS: NI PCIe-1427, NI PCIe-1429, NI PCIe-1430, and NI PCIe-8255. Please note that the NI-IMAQ 3.7.1 drivers are bundled with the NI-Vision 8.2.3 Acquisition Software. NI-488.2 NI-488.2 drivers do not support the NI PCIe-GPIB on a Real-Time OS. However, the NI-488.2 driver does support PXI-GPIB interfaces on the Real-Time OS. Network Interface Cards (NIC's) If you intend to use a PCIe network interface, find out if PCIe devices are enumerated by the BIOS the same as PCI devices. If so, the card will work on that motherboard. Built-in ExpressCard slots in National Instruments PXI controllers are enumerated by the BIOS. Supported chipsets (as listed in the Requirements for a Desktop PC as a Real-Time Target document) should function. Due to the wide variety of third-party devices it is impossible to say with certainty that every device will work.
