I'm having issues while trying to set the thermocouple type in a NI-9212 board connected to a cRIO 9030.
The VI used is really basic, as shown in figure
Unfortunately, the VI ends with error code -66205 (The variable object was not found.)
The NI-9212 board is available in the LabView project, where the board is referred as Mod2.
If I set the Thermocouple type through the LabView project, everything works fine.
I don't know if the error is related to the following. By checking the NI MAX, the boards are not Mod1/Mod2, but ASRL1::INSTR/ASRL2::INSTR. Is there some software to be installed on the cRIO that I'm missing?

The ASRL1::INSTR/ASRL2::INSTR are not the C Series modules but the serial RS-232 and RS-485 ports. For cRIO-903x, you cannot detect the modules in NI MAX as they are accessed via FPGA only.
I would recommend you refer to the shipping example. Go to Help >> Find Examples... >> search for NI-9223 Getting Started.
