Can I use NI MAX 'Test panels' with RT App on a remote CRIO?

Hi All,

First post, hope its in the right forum. Generally have found all the knowledge bases very useful and have never really needed to ask a specific Q. But this one has stumped me; and searches are not giving me any solutions.

Problem:
I have a Real-Time application running on a remote CRIO, I would like to use NI MAX 'test panels' function to be able to see the raw values that the CRIO is seeing for a specific test we are trying to do.

I have:

• NI MAX latest version installed on a PC - including the 'NI-DAQmx MAX config' as required by this knowledge base to use the Test panels function (https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000kFPXSA2&l=en-GB)
• CRIO is a remote system on our network - visible in NI MAX

Basically I can see the CRIO via NI MAX, and I have another system (PXI) that I can use the test panels function on. However, I can see that in order to do so the  PXI had to have a particular drivers installed. I can see that the driver 'NI-DAQmx Runtime with Configuration Support' is not present on the CRIO's software drop down menu.

My Questions:

1. Is it even possible to use the test panels function on a CRIO running an RT App? Am i barking up the wrong tree here?
2. If so, it seems like its a lack of a library/driver that would need to be on the CRIO to allow communication to NI MAX?
   1. When I looked through the 'Build RT App' options it gave me some additional installer/driver options but none of those seemed to be the right options?
3. If not, is there a better method for probing the CRIOs inputs? Remotely?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 
Many Thanks
Rob

Only if you are using cRIO-904x/905x that supports DAQmx.

Besides, if there is an RTEXE running and accessing the DAQ resource. You won't be able to run Test Panel at the same time due to the resource conflict.

Thank you ZYOng,
I will look into both of these. Appreciate the assistance.
