National Instruments real-time and embedded development tools include LabVIEW Real-Time software and a processor-based real-time hardware target. These tools deliver rapid development for real-time applications that require:

• Deterministic closed-loop control
• High-reliability test and measurement
• Embedded and autonomous operation Today, engineers are using LabVIEW Real-Time to implement applications such as controlling nuclear fuel rods, designing engine control units, monitoring the condition of transmission towers, and synchronizing measurement and control in scanning probe microscopes. This document helps you select the correct real-time target for your application needs. NI LabVIEW Real-Time hardware targets– PCI, PXI, FieldPoint, Compact FieldPoint, and Compact Vision Systems – are evaluated for deterministic performance, I/O availability, physical characteristics, and application development experience.
