Issue Details

Is there any method/example to send a message from RT to BC or BC to RT with LabVIEW?

Solution

There is sample VI (1553 External PXI Trigger.vi)  to use external trigger to send message by use of CDIO 0 - 2 on the board. You need to install the driver to use the example. When you install AIM MIL-STD-1553 Driver 2023 Q1 for Windows 10 PC as default setting, you can find the sample VI at:.

On the BTI editor, for example, you can select CDIO0 by selecting "A".
