The NI Publish-Subscribe Protocol (NI-PSP) networking protocol requires three background services that run in Windows outside of any National Instruments applications: Citadel Server, Classified Ads, and Time Synchronization. In the Windows 2000/XP Task Manager, these services appear as lkcitdl.exe (Citadel 4), nicitdl5.exe (Citadel 5), lkads.exe, tagsrv.exe, and lktsrv.exe.

Note You must run this service to log alarms. Do not stop these services while the DSC Module or the Shared Variable Engine is running. |
The DSC Module also installs the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine, which appears as msde.exe in the Services utility. Under Windows 2000/XP, these services run automatically. If you need to interact with these services, you can use the Services utility, found in Start»Settings»Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services on Windows 2000 and in Start»Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services on Windows XP.
