Chapter 4 LabVIEW RT Programming
© National Instruments Corporation 4-3 RT Series DAQ Device User Manual
To disable the Select Target Platform dialog box, specify the target platform
in the command line argument of your built executable using
–target. For
example:
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target DAQ::3 (for device 3)
or to run the application on the host PC:
c:\mybuiltapp_host.exe -target host
You also can reset the specified board using -reset. For example:
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target DAQ::3 -reset
To disconnect the host PC from the RT Engine after all VIs are downloaded
and leave the RT Engine VIs running, use
-quithost. For example:
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target DAQ::3 -quithost
Programming LabVIEW RT
Because you run LabVIEW RT on hardware platforms that do not have all
the components of a computer, LabVIEW RT lacks some LabVIEW
features when targeted to the RT Engine. For example, there is no disk
drive on the RT Series DAQ device, therefore, LabVIEW RT does not
support file I/O when targeted to the RT Series DAQ device. LabVIEW RT
does not support the following LabVIEW functions on RT Series DAQ
hardware:
•ActiveX
• Datalogging
• Dialog boxes
• Ethernet
•File I/O
• Instrument I/O: VISA, 488, RS-232/Serial
• Printing
•Profiler
• Programmatic Menu Bar
Note
If you attempt to download to and run on your target platform a VI that has any of
the unsupported functionality listed above, the VI still executes. Unsupported functions do
not work and return standard LabVIEW error codes.
