Real-Time Control on CompactRIO (RIO Scan Interface)

[NI-hilator]

I have Labview 2013 and I am trying to implement the Real-Time Control on CompactRIO (RIO Scan Interface)  Has anyone actually gotten this to work on a 9073?  The example calls for a cRIO 9074 with Analog In, Analog Out, T/C Input, Digital In, Digital Out.  In my case I have a 9073 with all the same types of cards, but with higher channel count i.e. 32 Channel in in place of 8 channel in, 32 Channel out in place of 8 channel out, etc. Max System Resources shows that I have 2.36MB memory free. So I have a few questions:

1. Is there a forum specically for getting the templates and sample projects to work?

2. Should this project be able to work on a 9073 at all?

3. What are the steps on changing the hardware type from a 9074 to a 9073 chassis?  I have done the following: removed the 9074 from the project, added the 9073 and discovered the new c-series modules in the rack, did a build on the target as well as the computer sides of the code.  Is there some other step I missed in changing the hardware type?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't been able to find anything saying that you cannot run the sample project on a cRIO-9073, nor have I found anything saying that we can either. To port the example from the defaul 9074 to the desired 9073, we will have to add the new target and move all the code over. We can follow the steps in the following link (this is for FPGA but we will follow basically the same steps except for moving over FPGA code):

As for specialty forums, I would just recommend posting your questions to the LabVIEW RT forum.

Thanks Daniel,

I guess I may have skipped a few steps when I said 'delete old 9074 and create new 9073'.  The document accompanying documentation for the Real-Time Control on CompactRIO (RIO Scan Interface) sample project has a procedure outlined in 7.

Funny, I posted this question in the Labview Real-Time and Control forum and someone replied I should post it in the FPGA forum which didn't seem appropriate either.

Update: After uninstalling all the Web Features from the target 9073, everything started working.  Apparently low memory causes some odd errors.
