Controlling Analog Output of Remote System

[bkarkar]

Hello, I have an RT target running Linux RT. My host computer is connected to this controller via Ethernet. I have a PXIe-6361 Multifunction IO module in this system. I want to control the analog output of this module using C# on my host computer, but I couldn't find any method to do this. It doesn't need to be real-time; I just want to output on one channel of the analog output. Is there a way to do this with C# without calling VeriStand or LabVIEW? Actually, NI MAX can do this, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it with C#.

You can only run C# on the host but not on the RT target.

You can use gRPC with NI Software and Hardware. Install the gRPC server on the Linux RT target, then run your gRPC Client using C# on the host. All you need are provided in GitHub - ni/grpc-device: gRPC server providing remote access to NI device driver APIs.

I actually don't need to run C# on the RT target in RT target. I only need to access the hardware and run it on the host. For example, a similar situation exists with VISA. I can access the ports of the RT target with the VISA server and use it with C# on the host. However, I couldn't find something similar for DAQmx.

That's when gRPC comes into play. Have you read the articles on gRPC device that I shared?
