Hello jyang,
As far as the Real-Time version of Stand Alone cDAQ and cRIO, they should be the same. You install LabVIEW, then LabVIEW Real-Time, then the drivers (NI-DAQmx for the cDAQ and NI-RIO for the cRIO).One noticeable difference between both platforms is that cDAQ can use the DAQmx drivers, and Real-Time capabilities. However, you will NOT be able to use LabVIEW FPGA, as the Stand-Alone cDAQ lacks FPGA. I would also mention the criteria that you want to have when choosing FPGA over DAQ, like if you want to have dozens of counters, true parallel tasks, or reconfigure you I/O.
