Targeting LabVIEW RT to the Host PC

Applications running on the host PC communicate to FieldPoint I/O channels.
Note
However, serial communication will be routed to the host PC serial port rather than the
FP-20xx serial port. In this case, VIs that use the serial port will communicate via the host
PC serial port. Also, when running on a host, deadbands apply to FieldPoint I/O channels.

When you target LabVIEW RT to the host PC, you can use LabVIEW RT
like LabVIEW for Windows.
Perform the following steps to target LabVIEW RT to the host PC:
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of the
FP-20xx
section.
2. Select Host PC (LabVIEW for Windows).
3. Click OK.
When you target LabVIEW RT to a networked FP-20xx, select
Tools»Options to access LabVIEW options. The options in the Options
menu only apply to the RT Development System running on the host PC.
You also can set options for the RT Engine on the FP-20xx when you target
LabVIEW RT to the controller. With LabVIEW RT targeted to your
FP-20xx, select Tools»Network Options to access RT Engine options.
RT Engine options apply to LabVIEW RT applications running on the
FP-20xx. The Performance and Disk, VI Server, and Web Server option
dialog boxes are identical to the normal LabVIEW option dialog boxes.
However, the settings are applied to the FP-20xx. Refer to the
LabVIEW Help for more information about Performance and Disk,
VI Server, and Web Server options.
You also can use the following two additional groups of options for
LabVIEW RT applications on networked FP-20xx modules:
RT Target: Access and RT Target: Miscellaneous.
