The LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit supports running a simulation on the following types of National Instruments RT Series Hardware.

• PXI/PCI
  • Any PXI-RT controller
• FieldPoint
  • Any FieldPoint or Compact Fieldpoint controller with at least 32 mb of RAM. National Instruments recommends at least 64 mb of RAM. For targets with less than 32 mb of RAM, you should not install VISA if you want to use the SIT server in the driver VI.
• CompactRIO
• NI cRIO-9961

Refer to the KnowledgeBase for information about configuring hardware devices for use with the Simulation Interface Toolkit.

The following table shows the features available with each type of hardware.

¹The Simulation Interface Toolkit ships with bitfiles and FPGA VIs for the following National Instruments FPGA devices:

• NI PCI-7811R
• NI PXI-7811R
• NI PCI-7813R
• NI PXI-7813R
• NI PCI-7831R
• NI PXI-7831R
• NI PCI-7833R
• NI PXI-7833R
• NI cRIO-9103

You can use the LabVIEW FPGA Module to create custom FPGA VIs for other FPGA devices.

²The Simulation Interface Toolkit uses .dbc and/or .ncd files to determine the properties of a particular CAN channel.
