Cannot Install NI VeriStand Engine on cRIO-9063

Hardware

  • cRIO-9063

Software

  • VeriStand

Issue Details

  • I am setting up my cRIO-9063 (CompactRIO) to be used with VeriStand and LabVIEW. LabVIEW Real-Time has already been installed on the controller, but every time I try to install the NI VeriStand Engine, the installation fails.
  • I have a minimal software set installed on my cRIO-9063. However, when I go to install NI VeriStand Engine, the installation never completes.
  • I have a fresh cRIO-9063 and need to install NI VeriStand Engine. In PuTTY, the cRIO starts the installation but at some point reports that there is not enough memory to create a file or folder.

Solution

It is not possible to install LabVIEW Real-Time and NI VeriStand Engine on the cRIO-9063 due to memory limitations.

Although this cRIO has 512 MB of hard drive space, not all of this is accessible storage. The Linux operating system reserves some space for recovery files and backing up internal data structures. After taking this into account, the cRIO will have approximately 400 MB of space.

Using LabVIEW and VeriStand will require more than 400 MB, and could require significantly more if you plan on running models on the cRIO or deploying large LabVIEW applications.
It is recommended to use a cRIO with larger memory capacity for VeriStand projects.
