LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches
Note
Booting LabVIEW RT requires that your NI PXIe-8130 controller has an IDE
(PATA) hard drive. Such a controller may be ordered from National Instruments with the
part number 780032-33.
NI PXIe-8130 User Manual
Use the LabVIEW RT configuration switches to configure LabVIEW RT
if it is installed on the controller. If you are not using LabVIEW RT, these
switches should remain in the OFF position. The controller reads these
switches only after a system reset. You must reboot the controller for any
changes to take place.
The NI PXIe-8130 controller includes the following LabVIEW RT
configuration switches:
•
Switch 1—Boot LabVIEW RT: Set this switch to ON to boot
LabVIEW RT.
•
Switch 2—Boot Safe Mode: Set this switch to ON to boot LabVIEW
RT into safe mode to reconfigure TCP/IP settings and to download or
update software from a host computer. This switch overrides the
behavior of Switch 1. Booting the controller into safe mode does not
start the embedded LabVIEW RT engine. After changing the settings
or software, reboot the controller with this switch OFF to resume
normal operation.
•
Switch 3—Disable Startup VI: Set this switch to ON to prevent VIs
from automatically running at startup if the controller becomes
inaccessible because of a startup VI.
•
Switch 4—Reset IP Address: Set this switch to ON to reset the
IP address to
0.0.0.0
this switch if moving the controller to a different subnet or if the
current TCP/IP settings are invalid.
