And no one said anything about a Real Time OS Target?
The reason I didn't was because of the USB device. If it is just a simple DAQ, then we could replace that with a cRIO and then use the FPGA for most of the logic (no need to worry about an OS there). But that is quite a cost in hardware and development to switch from DAQmx to FPGA (I'm talking $2-5k in hardware and probably 2 weeks of development if you knew what you were doing). Even with the cRIO, you will want a UPS on the system.
RT os doesn't mean cRio, and cRio doesn't mean fpga.
A Linux system (rt or not) might still be able to use your USB devices. And it would be easier to tune then Windows. If you know how. So sticking with Windows makes sense.
You have the same learning curve with Windows 10 IoT. We're looking into it, simply because we're going to need it more and more.
Search LabVIEW like a graph!

True, but in my experience the FPGA is more useful than the RT on a cRIO. For a few years, I did a bunch of applications that were replacements of obsolete test systems that used a DAQ to take in measurements, evaluation the data, and output through a DIO the pass/fail status to a PLC. We replaced that entire system with a cRIO. This is the situation I am used to.
As I said before, I do not know what the USB device is or even if it is compatible with any RT hardware. I was just throwing out an alternative to make Jeff happy.

I seem to be misinformed (don't have pro or enterprise either):
