Can I use PID controller block of Control and Design Toolkit for real time control using DAQ USB6363?

[UmairMech]

Hi,

I want to developed PI controller in labview for real time control of device.

I will use DAQ USB 6363 for signal input and out to the device. 

I found out that PID controller block in labview simulations works fine, I just want to know can I used the same block in real time?

Please give me some suggestions

The wording "real time" has special meaning when it comes to LabVIEW: there are certain targets where your program may be executed on and some of them offer realtime behaviour!

Your question seems to use "real time" in the wrong meaning as reading and writing to an USB device certainly is NOT supported by (strict) realtime behaviour…

You can use the PI(D) function not just in simulation, but also for control of real hardware…
