Network-published shared variable (NPSV)

A network-published shared variable (NPSV) behaves like a global variable that links process loops residing in two or more network-connected targets.

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: RT and PC read and write the same network-published shared variables

Use cases

Features

Keep in mind

IMPORTANT: Data transfers through the network are subject to latency (unpredictable delays). Enable the ‘RT FIFO’ option when the NPSV is placed inside an RT timed (deterministic) loop.
