Programmatically Run a VI on an RT Target

[ShishKeBobby]

Overview

This project is meant to show how to run a VI on a target computer from a host.

Description

Sometimes multiple types of functionality is needed at runtime from an RT target to a host computer.  To dynamically call VIs to implement this functionality a source distribution must be used.  This example is in reference to this Knowledge Base article: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/a7dba869c000b5ae862570b2007c4170?OpenDocument

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 compatible, with LabVIEW RT

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Build a deploy the source distribution on the RT Target
2. Open "Host.vi"
3. Input the IP address of the target
4. If no changes were made to the target VI, run the VI and watch the Output indicator count down from 0.
5. Pressing stop will reset the VI and running it again will start the counter at 0.
