A wierd problem that keeps popping up.

Hey.
Ever since I started programming in LabVIEW there was an error message I never got my head around.
Sometimes, without any reason I could notice, when I try uploading the code to the cRIO, it pops a message saying
“Waiting for Real-Time target (RT CompactRIO Target) to respond
(Button to ‘Stop waiting and disconnect’)”

When I click the button and try to upload the code again, I need to restart the cRIO.

this seems to happen for no reason. I try again for a few times and after about 3-4 tries it works.
I don’t think this is a problem in the networking because this has been happening for over a year with different network configurations.

so if anyone has any experience with this problem, I’d really appreciate some guidance.

When you see that message wait a few minutes before clicking anything.
Just let it stay there. Often it goes away again after a bit.

If it stays indefinitely, then it probably means your code has some unrestricted loops that are slowing the cRIO way down.
