Considerations for ETS and RTX Targets (Simulation Module)
If you are executing a simulation on an Ardence Embedded Tool Suite (ETS) target, National Instruments recommends you let the LabVIEW Simulation Module calculate the necessary value of the simulation period. To automatically calculate the period, place a checkmark in the Auto Period checkbox, which is located on the Timing Parameters page of the Configure Simulation Parameters dialog box.
If you are executing a simulation with a non-zero period on a computer running the Ardence Real-Time Extension (RTX) target, you must use software timing to avoid run-time errors. Place a checkmark in the Software Timing checkbox, located on the Timing Parameters page of the Configure Simulation Parameters dialog box. Then, place a subVI that contains a Wait Until Next ms Multiple function on the simulation diagram or subsystem, and set the millisecond multiple accordingly.
When you follow this procedure, other tasks can to continue to execute when the simulation is not scheduled to execute.
