Real-Time Utilities VIs (RT Module)
Owning Palette: Real-Time VIs
Use the Real-Time Utilities VIs to output debug strings, control LEDs, return information, read switches, reboot, and set the date or time of RT targets.
The VIs on this palette can return general LabVIEW error codes.
| Palette Object | Description |
|---|---|
| RT Debug String | Outputs a string to the video port. If you have a device capable of serial redirection, this VI outputs the debug string to the serial port. |
| RT Get Timestamp | Inserts a 64-bit timestamp value from a high-precision timing source into a preallocated array at an index value specified by iteration. The timestamp value indicates the time when the RT Get Timestamp VI executes on the RT target. |
| RT LEDs | Controls the LEDs on all RT Series devices. |
| RT Ping Controllers | Returns information about networked RT Series devices on the local subnet or a remote subnet. By default, this VI searches for all devices on the local subnet and returns information about each device, including MAC address, IP address, status, model, and host name. |
| RT Read Switch | Reads the switch state of DIP switches on a networked RT Series device. |
| RT Reboot Controller | Reboots a networked RT Series device on the local subnet or remote subnet. You must provide the MAC address of the networked device. |
| RT Set Date and Time | Sets the date or time of a networked RT Series device. |
| RT Timestamp Analysis | Analyzes the array of timestamps returned by the RT Get Timestamp VI. |
