Ensure the CD-ROM drive is set to be the first boot device on the Target Computer. Refer to the bios manual of the Target Computer for further information.

Booting and running the real-time target from live CD is only useful for testing the real-time abilities of the system.

LiveCD only supports the trial/demo mode. In this mode no measurement hardware is supported.

For normal operation the 'Install on Harddisk' option must be selected (refer to RT-Target Installation).

 

 

Note: Measurement hardware is only supported after target activation. For further information on this refer to the SCALE-RT Suite chapter in this manual
