This section describes the installation of RT-LAB target components on an OPAL-RT simulator. In other words, it includes installation information for target nodes that are running on OPAL-RT Linux (x86- based) real-time operating systems. OPAL-RT simulators already have RTLAB installed on them. This section only applies to users that want to install a new version of RT-LAB.



Note: A license is needed to use a target node. For more information, read Activating a License on the Target Node.



Installing RT-LAB on the Target Node

Installing from RT-LAB on the Windows Command Station


As soon as it is needed, RT-LAB will prompt you to install the new version of the software on the target.

Simply accept to upgrade the target node automatically.

To force the installation:

Installing from the Network on an OPAL-RT Linux (x86-based) target node

  • Open a second Windows Explorer window
  • Enter ftp://ntuser@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ in the address bar, ntuser in the user name field, and ntuser in the password field.
    • Note that, in this example, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the target node’s IP address.
  • You are now connected by FTP to your compilation node.
  • Copy the RT-LAB archive file rtlab-redhawk-[version_name].rpm by dragging and dropping from the first window to the second.
  • Connect to the target node by telnet (i.e. Start>Run> telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and login as root
