LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches
Note These switches are functional only if the controller supports LabVIEW RT.
Use the LabVIEW RT configuration switches to configure LabVIEWRT
if it is installed on the controller. If you are not using LabVIEW RT, these
switches should remain in the OFF position. The controller reads these
switches only after a system reset. You must reboot the controller for any
changes to take place.
The NI PXI-8183 controller includes the following LabVIEW RT
configuration switches:
•Switch 1—Reset IP Address: Set this switch to ON to reset the
IPaddress to 0.0.0.0 and other TCP/IP settings to their defaults.
Use this switch if moving the controller to a different subnet or if
the current TCP/IP settings are invalid.
•Switch 2—Disable Startup VI: Set this switch to ON to prevent
VIsf rom automatically running at startup if the controller becomes
inaccessible because of a startup VI.
•Switch 3—Boot Safe Mode: Set this switch to ON to boot
LabVIEW RT into safe mode to reconfigure TCP/IP settings and
to download or update software from a host computer. This switch
overrides the behavior of Switch 1. Booting the controller into safe
mode does not start the embedded LabVIEW RT engine. After
changing the settings or software, reboot the controller with this switch
OFF to resume normal operation.
•Switch 4—Boot LabVIEW RT: Set this switch to ON to boot
LabVIEWRT.
