Issue Details

I have heard that certain NI Real-Time (RT) controllers support the Embedded UI feature, meaning you can host a LabVIEW user interface directly on the controller, without having to send the data back to a Windows HMI. Which RT targets support this Embedded UI feature?
 

Solution

Embedded UI is only supported for NI Linux Real-Time targets that are Intel x64 based and have a DisplayPort/Mini-DisplayPort in their front panel.

The hardware list below describes the NI Linux Real-Time targets that are compliant with both features:

  • cRIO-903X controllers.
  • cRIO-904X controllers.
  • SbRIO-9609/SbRIO-9628/SbRIO-9629.
  • cDAQ-913X controllers, with exception for cDAQ-9138/9139.
  • PXIe-88XX controllers, with exception for PXIe-8820.
