Data acquisition using cRIO-9066 and C++

[aanodin]

Hi there!

I want to write a C++ application which would acquire data from some modules installed in cRIO-9066 chassis and this application have to work without LabView. How can I do it? Can I connect this chassis to my PC using NI DAQmx? Is it possible?

Hi aanodin,

When using a device that uses our RIO architecture, it is usually best to use LabVIEW to develop your application. This way you can also program the FPGA using the LabVIEW FPGA module, and it makes programming the Real-Time processor much easier. In fact, your model of cRIO is only officially supported by our LabVIEW programming language, as seen on page 4 of the manual: (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/376186a.pdf).  

Because of the FPGA interface, you cannot use DAQmx with cRIO. Hope this helps.
