Targeting LabVIEW Real-Time to the Host PC

Applications running on the host PC communicate with FieldPoint I/O channels.
Note
However, serial communication is routed to the host PC serial port rather than to the
cFP-21xx 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.

When you target LabVIEW Real-Time to the host PC, you can use
LabVIEW Real-Time as you would use LabVIEW for Windows.
Complete the following steps to target LabVIEW Real-Time to the host PC:
1. Complete steps 1 through 4 of the
the cFP-21xx section.
2. Select Host PC (LabVIEW for Windows).
3. Click OK.
When you target LabVIEW Real-Time to a networked cFP-21xx, select
Tools»Options to access LabVIEW options. The options in the Options
menu apply only to the Real-Time Development System running on the
host PC.
You also can set options for the Real-Time Engine on the cFP-21xx when
you target LabVIEW Real-Time to the controller. With LabVIEW
Real-Time targeted to the cFP-21xx, select Tools»RT Target Options to
access Real-Time Engine options. Real-Time Engine options apply to
LabVIEW Real-Time applications running on the cFP-21xx. 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-21xx. 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 Real-Time applications on networked cFP-21xx modules:
RT Target: Access and RT Target: Miscellaneous.
