Todisable the Select Target Platform dialog box, specify the target
platform in the command line argument of your builtexecutable using
–target.For example,
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target DAQ::3(for device 3)
ort o run the application on the host PC,
c:\mybuiltapp_host.exe -target host
Youalso can reset the specified device using -reset. For example,
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target DAQ::3 -reset
Todisconnect the host PC from the RT Engine after all VIs are downloaded
and leavethe RT Engine VIs running, use -quithost. For example,
c:\mybuiltapp_rtengine.exe -target DAQ::3 -quithost
Programming LabVIEW RT
Becauseyou run LabVIEW RT applications on hardware platforms that do
not have all the components of a computer, LabVIEW RT lacks some
LabVIEWfeatures when targeted to the RT Engine. For example, there is
nodisk drive on the RT Series DAQ device, therefore, the RT Engine does
notsupport file I/O when targeted to the RT Series DAQ device. The RT
Engine does not support the following LabVIEW features on RT Series
DAQ hardware:
•ActiveX
•Datalogging
•Dialog boxes
•Ethernet
•File I/O
•Instrument I/O: VISA, 488, RS-232/Serial
•Printing
•Profiler
•ProgrammaticMenu Bar
Note If you attempt to downloadt o and run on your targetplatform a VI that has any of
theunsupported functionality listed above, the VI still executes. Unsupported functions do
notwork and return standard LabVIEW error codes.
