I have a general acquisition code that is currently being used on a PXI 1042Q which uses DAQmx. I would like to use this same code on a NI cRIO 9014 with FPGA. Is there a relativitely straight forward to convert over to FPGA or do I have to completely rewrite the code?

Unfortunately, you're going to be re-writing code. Plan your FPGA code carefully (if you haven't used LabVIEW FPGA before, then expect to scrap your first try after it mostly works). You can organize the FPGA code to make it look like the DAQmx functions (you'll need to write a wrapper VI to handle communication to the FPGA) which will make the transition easier, but you also might want to shift some processing to the FPGA.
