Executing Simulations in Real Time (Simulation Module)
You can use the LabVIEW Simulation Module with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module and various National Instruments real-time (RT) targets to implement simulations and controllers in real time with real-world inputs and outputs. For example, you can combine this software and hardware to design and implement a rapid control prototype (RCP) or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) configuration. You configure the timing Simulation Loop according to the needs of the simulation.
The Simulation Module can execute VIs on hardware targets running the real-time operating system (RTOS) of the Ardence Phar Lap Embedded Tool Suite (ETS) and on computers running the Ardence Real-Time Extension (RTX).
The Real-Time Module includes the Getting Started with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module manual, which introduces the concepts necessary to create real-time applications. The Real-Time Module documentation also includes topics about organizing and managing projects, creating deterministic applications, and sharing data in deterministic applications.
