• The controller hard drive is owned by Windows, so a Windows crash prevents the Real-Time OS from accessing the hard drive. Any program running at the time of the crash will continue running but return errors when accessing the hard drive. National Instruments recommends monitoring disk access in real-time code and safely shutting down the real-time application if a Windows failure occurs.
