Why Are CPU and Memory Usage Not Visible in Distributed System Manager?

Primary Software: Utility Software>>Measurement & Automation Explorer
Primary Software Version: 1.0.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I want to monitor the CPU and memory usage of a network-connected real-time controller using Distributed System Manager. I selected the real-time target of interest from the tree in the left-hand window and then made sure to enable Auto View by selecting View»Auto View. I expected to see the CPU/Memory tab, but it did not show up. How can I solve this issue?

Solution:
You need to install System State Publisher, which publishes CPU and memory usage to Distributed System Manager:

1. Open Measurement & Automation Explorer. You can do this by selecting Start»Programs»National Instruments»Measurement & Automation.
2. Expand Remote Systems in the Configuration window.
3. Select your remote system from the configuration tree. Right-click Software and select Add/Remove Software.
4. Once the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard panel is opened, click System State Publisher and select Install the Feature. Then, click Next.
