cRIO unable to set the option 'run on startup'

[Hemagopal]

Hello,

I have 2 compactRIOs . Both of them along with the host windows computer are on the static network. I can see both cRIOs in the LabVIEW project window.

I have used shared variables to communicate the values across the cRIOs.

My problem is that if I make the exe in one cRIO to 'Run on startup', the other cRIO's exe which was also made to 'Run on startup', that cRIO will automatically connect. (The Green dot appears next to the cRIO name in the LabVIEW project explorer).

Why cannot I make both cRIo exe to ' Run on Start'

I am using LabVIEW 2012. 

Thanks

It depends on your application and where your Shared Variable Engine is hosted.

Assumed that the SVE is hosted by your development computer and both targets are running with the same RT executable, they will write to the same variables who ever comes first.

So check this first.

Hope it helps
