What News?
VeriStand 2020 R5 Bug Fixes - Date: April 2021
1174315 Reflective Memory causes latency spikes on Linux RT
Depending on the PCL rate and number of channels, using the VeriStand Reflective Memory solution can cause latency spikes in the PCL on Linux RT. This can lead to HP counts and missed data transfers.
1203847 Simple deployed VeriStand SDF results in one core reporting 100% CPU
Even simple VeriStand system definition files will result in one core having its CPU rail to 100%. However, this is a normal priority thread that will not lead to deadlock or interrupt network communication.

VeriStand helps you get your hardware-in-the-loop or test cell control and monitoring system up and running faster. VeriStand provides integrated support for a range of NI-XNET devices, NI-DAQ devices, and NI FPGA targets. It also supports deploying to a range of targets, including PXI/PCI controllers, CompactRIO/Single-Board RIO, and desktop PCs.
