Targeting LabVIEW RT to the Host PC
When you target LabVIEW RT to the host PC, you can use LabVIEW RT
as you would use LabVIEW for Windows.
Complete the following steps to target LabVIEW RT to the host PC:
1. Complete steps 1 through 4 of the Targeting LabVIEW RT to the
cFP-20xx section.
2. Select Host PC (LabVIEW for Windows).
3. Click OK.
Note Applications running on the host PC communicate with FieldPoint I/O channels.
However, serial communication is routed to the host PC serial port rather than to the
cFP-20xx serial port. VIs that use the serial port communicate using the host PC serial port.
Also, when an application runs on the host, deadbands apply to FieldPoint I/O channels.
RT Target Options
When you target LabVIEW RT to a networked cFP-20xx, select Tools»
Options to access LabVIEW options. The options in the Options menu
apply only to the RT Development System running on the host PC.
You also can set options for the RT Engine on the cFP-20xx when you
target LabVIEW RT to the controller. With LabVIEW RT targeted to the
cFP-20xx, select Tools»RT Target Options to access RT Engine options.
RT Engine options apply to LabVIEW RT applications running on the
cFP-20xx. The VI Server and Web Server option dialog boxes are
identical to the normal LabVIEW option dialog boxes. However, the
settings are applied to the cFP-20xx. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more
information about the VI Server and Web Server options.
You also can use the following two additional groups of options for
LabVIEW RT applications on networked cFP-20xx modules:
RT Target: Access and RT Target: Miscellaneous.
