Retrieve Information from Real-Time target Using the Hostname

[Andrew_B]

Overview
This example VI demonstrate the use of functions from Real-Time libraries to retrieve information from Real-Time target.

 
Description

This VI demonstrates retrieving a specific target's information using RT Get Target Information (All) and a specific information field. This field is used to filter the discoverable Real-Time targets for a specific target's information. Out of this specific target's information, specific fields can be unbundled such as the IP address. The "DNS Name" field used is the same as the target's "Hostname" in Measurement & Automation Explorer. This same technique can be used to applied to any field in the cluster of information returned by RT Get Target Information VI. Also, this example can be further modified to return information for the set of matching targets instead of a single target's information.

Requirements
