Real Time Module needed for hi speed digitizer PCI 5911 ?

[reteb1]

Rookie question :

I run LV 7.1 , LV Run Time  8 ( whatever this Run Time Engine may be ) , MAX  4.0.0 , NiDaq 8 ( for my two Multi Function PCI Daq's ).

Question : does the PCI 5911 work under NI-Scope 3.3 ( supporting PCI 5911 ) without a Real Time Module ?

i.e. is the Real Time Module a separate ( hardware ? ) device, not necessarily needed for PCI 5911 ?  

Sorry for this utter basic question.

I have not used a hi speed digitizer before, only multifunction NiDaq's.

Thanks for any help or reference.

You are probably referring to the LabVIEW Real-Time Module described here.

This is an extension to LabVIEW that allows you to run VIs on a real-time, deterministic environment, usually on remote hardware.  One common configuration is to use a Windows system as your host, and communicate to a remote PXI controller running LabVIEW RT. 

The PCI-5911 is fully supported for "standard" LabVIEW running on Windows.  You don't need LabVIEW RT to use it.

In fact, the PCI-5911 is not supported under LabVIEW RT.

OK.

Thanks, this helps.
