Verifying Correct Timing Behavior (RT Module)
Timing is crucial in a deterministic application. Use one of the following methods to verify the timing of an application.
Real-Time Benchmarking VIs
Use the RT Get Timestamp VI and the RT Timestamp Analysis VI to benchmark the performance of VIs and sections of VIs running on an RT target. You can use the benchmark information to optimize the design of RT target VIs.
Use the RT Get Timestamp VI to return a 64-bit timestamp value from a high-precision timing source. Use the RT Timestamp Analysis VI to analyze the timestamp values returned by the RT Get Timestamp VI.
LabVIEW Execution Trace Toolkit (ETS, VxWorks)
The LabVIEW Execution Trace Toolkit is a real-time event and execution tracing tool that allows you to capture and display the timing and event data of VI and thread events for LabVIEW Real-Time Module applications. The LabVIEW Execution Trace Toolkit includes the LabVIEW Execution Trace Tool and the Execution Trace Tool VIs. The Execution Trace Tool VIs allow you to capture the timing and execution data of VI and thread events for applications running on an RT target. The LabVIEW Execution Trace Tool displays the timing and event data on the host computer for analysis.
