850 MHz Intel Celeron Real-Time Embedded Controllers for PXI
Create Reliable Stand-Alone Systems
To ensure reliable operation, embedded LabVIEW Real-Time applications
continue to run even if the host PC is interrupted or rebooted. Because
the PXI-8183 RT embedded controller runs in a separate chassis with a
dedicated power supply, the operator can shut down the host computer
entirely without disrupting the real-time program.
For stand-alone operation, you can embed code in the system so
that it starts automatically when the system boots, requiring no human
interaction. Use the LabVIEW Professional Development System and
LabVIEW Real-Time Module to compile your LabVIEW application into
an executable and download it to your PXI-8183 RT controller.

Table 2. Maximum loop rates for LabVIEW Real-Time PXI systems are shown. All
benchmarks use the LabVIEW 8.5 Real-Time Module with NI-DAQmx 8.7. These
benchmarks do not test network performance and run on a headless target without a
direct Ethernet connection for maximum performance. Visit ni.com or contact
National Instruments for additional benchmarks.
Dual-Boot Option
You can configure NI PXI embedded controllers to boot into Windows
or the real-time OS. NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)
includes features for installing and configuring PXI embedded controllers
as LabVIEW Real-Time targets. The controllers use a hardware switch or
BIOS setting to boot into the desired OS.
The result is a PXI embedded controller that can run embedded
LabVIEW Real-Time or Windows applications. When the controller is
in real-time mode, you need another Windows computer to develop and
debug the LabVIEW Real-Time code for the PXI controller. To enable a
Windows PXI embedded controller to dual-boot with the real-time OS,
you must purchase the LabVIEW Real-Time embedded deployment
software for the controller.
