- There are two different ways you can choose which OS to boot into:
- Setting the RT Boot Options in the BIOS through the LabVIEW RT Setup Menu
- You can enter the BIOS by pressing the Delete <DEL> button upon boot up.
- If your controller's Boot Configuration is set to Use Switch Setting, then the position of the configuration switch will determine the boot mode of the controller.
- Setting the Boot Configuration to LabVIEW RT will cause the controller to boot into safe mode regardless of the switch's position
- Using the LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches located on the PXI Controller
- This will only work if your controller's Boot Configuration is set to Use Switch Setting.
Note: In order to install LabVIEW Real-Time onto a PXI Controller preloaded with Microsoft Windows, you need to purchase the
LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment License for NI PXI Controllers .
