What Is the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module?

LabVIEW front panel, block diagram, and project window with code appear on a desktop computer monitor.

The LabVIEW Real-Time Module is used with LabVIEW to create reliable, stand-alone applications that execute on embedded hardware devices.

LabVIEW Real-Time Module Features

Create and deploy real-time, distributed system applications for test, monitoring, and control with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module:

  • LabVIEW provides an intuitive graphical programming approach so you can develop real-time applications faster.

  • LabVIEW Real-Time has hundreds of available LabVIEW libraries and hardware APIs to save valuable development.

  • LabVIEW Real-Time OS ensures reliability and precise timing in your stand-alone system.

The LabVIEW Real-Time Module and the LabVIEW FPGA Module provide the hardware flexibility and programming capabilities needed to rapidly develop advanced embedded monitoring and control solutions.
