#HOW TO INSTALL LABVIEW REAL TIME ON ROBORIO 2018 UPDATE#
In the past I have also allowed systems to download their own update files from a web server at a time that is appropriate for them Testing, Testing, Testingīear in mind that if these systems are unattended failures can be a pain to deal with – possibly requiring a site visit. I believe (but have not tested) this is possible with Salt as well. (You don’t want to restart in the middle of a critical procedure) You may also need to consider a pull-based system where the system itself decides on a good time to update itself.
You tell the server to push the update to all systems. Pullīoth these systems are push-based technologies though. Out of the box you get a command line to do everything with so if you want something fairly plug and play, you probably want Systemlink. This declarative approach reduces the risk of human error.

That means that rather than defining what should be done, you set the state the system should be in and the software figures out the steps to get there.
When you have 10, 100 or even 1000 systems with either technology, you can’t be initiating each update manually. The are a pretty new technology on NI Real-Time systems but we will be putting our first customers on it in the next few months and expect it to significantly streamline the management of their systems. Packages are lightweight but good at describing dependencies to ensure everything works. NI are pushing packages more and more for all of their systems.

Image-based installation means that each update is delivered by totally wiping the existing system and providing a full new system image including the OS, drivers and applications.įull system imaging is available on all NI real-time systems and guarantees a consistent state. This total changes our options compared to general-purpose systems as described in the previous part in this series.įor LabVIEW Real-Time systems, in particular, you have two strategies for updating and commissioning them: Image-based Installation and Package-based Installation Image-based Installation There is a distinctive feature of real-time systems and any special purpose machine, which is you can control the whole system.
