Real-Time VIs
June 2008, 370715F-01
Installed With: RT Module. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.
Use the Real-Time VIs to build deterministic applications using LabVIEW.
The VIs on this palette can return general LabVIEW error codes.
| Subpalette | Description |
|---|---|
| Execution Trace Tool VIs | Use the Execution Trace Tool VIs to log a trace session from an application running on an RT target and transfer the trace session to the Real-Time Execution Trace Tool running on a host computer. |
| Function Blocks | Use the LabVIEW function blocks to program using the function block programming paradigm defined in the IEC 61131-3 specification. |
| Real-Time FIFO Functions | Use the Real-Time FIFO functions to send and receive data deterministically between VIs. RT FIFO functions provide a deterministic data transfer method that does not add jitter to a time-critical VI. An RT FIFO is a lossy form of communication that overwrites the oldest data element when the FIFO is full. |
| Real-Time Timing VIs | Use the Real-Time Timing VIs to control the timing of loops in VIs running on an RT target. |
| Real-Time Utilities 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. |
| Real-Time Watchdog VIs | Use the Real-Time Watchdog VIs to detect and respond to failure conditions on networked RT Series devices. |
| SMP CPU Utilities VIs | Use the VIs on the SMP CPU Utilities palette to configure the set of CPUs available for automatic load balancing. |
| Time-Triggered Network VIs | Use the Time-Triggered Network VIs to control timed structures with timing sources from a time-triggered network and to handle time-triggered network errors. |
