Overview

Select a LabVIEW Real-Time application note, as ranked by popularity by ni.com visitors.

1.  Real-Time Tutorial

Numerous measurement and automation applications require real-time performance. To differentiate these real-time applications, you must first understand the core of real-time performance and how it is used in real-time control, real-time signal processing, and real-time event response.

2.   Building Distributed Monitoring and Control Systems with LabVIEW

This paper examines the benefits of creating distributed monitoring and control systems as well as the fundamentals of building these systems. Engineers can use the concepts presented in this paper to design reliable, high performance systems today that can easily integrate with future technologies.

3.   PACs for Industrial Control, the Future of Control

With a number of vendors producing Programmable Automation Controllers that combine the functionality of a PC and reliability of a PLC, PACs today are increasingly being incorporated into control systems. This white paper explores the origins of the PAC, how PACs differ from PLCs and PCs, and the future direction of industrial control with PACs.

4.   When Do I Need a Real-Time System?

A real-time solution is required for applications that must deterministically perform a critical task in software without interruption or interference from other noncritical tasks. This application note helps you determine if Real-Time is right for your application. 
 

5.  Selecting Your LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment Platform

Today, engineers are using LabVIEW Real-Time to implement applications such as controlling nuclear fuel rods, designing engine control units, monitoring the condition of transmission towers, and synchronizing measurement and control in scanning probe microscopes. This document helps you select the correct real-time target for your application needs.
