The NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module is an add-on component for the LabVIEW development system that you can use to create and debug reliable, deterministic applications that run on stand-alone embedded hardware targets. With the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, you can develop applications for all NI real-time hardware targets including CompactRIO, NI Single-Board RIO, PXI, vision systems, Compact FieldPoint, and standard desktop PCs. The embedded RTOS included with LabVIEW Real-Time is a single dedicated kernel that provides maximum reliability and consistent timing for embedded applications. The LabVIEW Real-Time Module cannot be used to create applications for RTOSs not provided by NI.

The LabVIEW PID and Fuzzy Logic Toolkit, which comes with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, contains sophisticated control algorithms that you can run deterministically on NI embedded hardware. And LabVIEW features a wide variety of signal processing and analysis functions that also work in LabVIEW Real-Time applications.

A deployment license is included with the purchase of NI real-time hardware targets, but you must purchase an additional LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment License to deploy your LabVIEW Real-Time applications to third-party PCs or NI hardware targets that you upgrade from running an alternate OS (such as PXI controllers originally ordered with Windows).

With the NI Standard Service Program (SSP), you receive the latest NI software technology through automatic upgrades and an elevated level of technical support from NI applications engineers through phone and email. You also receive free, unlimited access to on-demand online training courses. A one-year SSP subscription is less than the cost of purchasing a single upgrade.

You can optionally order the LabVIEW Real-Time Module as part of an NI Developer Suite bundle. NI Developer Suite combines all of the tools you need for building embedded systems with NI hardware targets such as CompactRIO: the LabVIEW FPGA Module for synthesizing custom logic in the user-configurable RIO FPGA core, LabVIEW Real-Time for building deterministic real-time applications, and more.

Requirements for LabVIEW Real-Time Module

The Real-Time Module supports the following operating systems for application development:

  • Windows 7
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 3)
  • Windows Server 2003 R2 (32-bit)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)

Note: The Real-Time Module is compatible with 32-bit LabVIEW only. Therefore, you must have 32-bit LabVIEW installed even if you use a 64-bit OS.

  • Support for Windows Server 2003 R2 may require disabling physical address extensions (PAE). Refer to the National Instruments Web site for information about how this might affect your use of Windows Server 2003 R2 and what actions you might have to take.
  • The Real-Time Module does not support the Windows Server non-R2 editions.

The Real-Time Module installs the following real-time operating systems (RTOSes). Refer to the specific RT target hardware documentation for information about which RTOS your target uses.

  • NI ETS 13.1
  • VxWorks 6.3
Note: Each RTOS supports only a subset of LabVIEW features. Refer to the Real-Time Module»Unsupported LabVIEW Features book on the Contents tab of the LabVIEW Help for a list of unsupported LabVIEW features for each RTOS.
