Owning Palette: RT Utilities VIs
Requires: RT Module
Restarts an RT target.
Use the pull-down menu to select an instance of this VI.

![]() |
target address specifies the IP address or DNS name of the target. |
![]() |
wait for restart? specifies whether this VI waits to return until the target finishes restarting. |
![]() |
restart timeout ms specifies the amount of time to wait, in milliseconds, for the target to finish restarting before returning an error. The default is 115000 milliseconds. |
![]() |
error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. |
![]() |
target address out returns the same address as target address. |
![]() |
IP address after restart returns the IP address of the RT target. If the previous address of the target is in use by another device on the network and the target is configured to use DHCP, the IP address of the target might change upon restarting. If the IP address changes upon restarting, this terminal returns the new IP settings that take effect after the target restarts.If wait for restart? is FALSE, this terminal returns an empty string. |
![]() |
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |

![]() |
MAC address is the MAC address of the networked device. This input must be in hexadecimal format without : delimiters. Use the RT Get Target Information VI to obtain the MAC address of an RT target programmatically. |
![]() |
wait for restart? specifies whether this VI waits to return until the target finishes restarting. |

Use the RT Restart (IP) instance to specify the IP address or DNS name of an RT target from a host computer. Use the RT Restart (MAC) instance to specify the MAC address of an RT target from a host computer. Use the RT Restart (Self) instance on an RT target to restart that target.
