Cursor Reference returned by the Cursor Move event not valid on LinuxRT x64 target with the Embedded UI enabled.

When obtaining the cursor reference returned by the cursor move event, the output is not valid on NI Linux Real-Time x64 targets with the Embedded UI enabled.

Workaround:

Obtain the reference from a graph control property node.

Error 56 Thrown When Using "Disconnect from Slave" Invoke Method

Using the "Disconnect from Slave" invoke method will almost immediately generate error 56; however the method functions correctly and disconnects the NI Real-Time system from the host machine.

Workaround:

Ignore error.

If 2 classes call separate instances of a polymorphic VI and an instance is included within the a class, the VI will break when compiled into an RTEXE.

A VI will break when compiled into an RTEXE if the VI contains multiple classes that call a polymorphic VI and the a copy of the polymorphic VI is in one of the classes.

Workaround:

Add the polymorphic VI to each instance of the class.

Running a VI Using Invoke Node Fails When Embedded UI is Enabled

When Embedded UI is enabled, using a LabVIEW Invoke Node to run a VI on NI Linux Real-Time results in an error about the Front Panel not being available. Using an Invoke Node to run a VI on NI Linux Real-Time works as expected if Embedded UI is disabled.

Workaround:

Instead of using an Invoke Node, use the Start Asynchronous Call with the connector pane of the target VI wired into the Open VI Ref.

Calling the DAQmx Write VI after DAQmx Create Timing Source on NI Linux Real-Time can error depending on the DAQ hardware.

In NI Linux Real-Time, the DAQmx Commit occurs once the timing source is created. If a DAQmx Write is called after, hardware that does not support Non-Buffered HW-Timed Tasks can error.

Workaround:

Switch the two calls.

Using Solve Linear Equations VI May Result in Wrong Values on NI Linux RT

On NI Linux RT, the underlying Singular Value Decomposition that is used in the Solve Linear Systems VI may produce an incorrect decomposition when the linear system has a large condition number or is rank deficient. The incorrect decomposition causes an incorrect linear system solution.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

NI Linux RT Controllers Have Less Free Disk Space after Installation than Was Available with Legacy Installation

Installing NI Linux RT may consume up to 200MB more disk space than a legacy installation, which is no longer available as of 2021. This may prevent successful upgrades of disk-intensive applications on CompactRIO, CompactDAQ, sbRIO, and myRIO controllers. Affected customers must continue to use legacy installation with LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2020 SP1 or earlier.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

Refnums Can Become Invalid Erroneously

Refnums can become invalid unexpectedly during VI execution.

Workaround:

Add the token "UserDefinedRefObj.BinarySearch.LinearThreshhold=0" in the [LVRT] section of the lvrt.conf configuration file.

You can use the same token in the configuration file for LabVIEW or built applications.
