Programmatically Reading and Setting the Module Programming Modes for CompactRIO

[migration-bot]

Description

Description-Separate-1

These VIs will enable you to get and set the CompactRIO Module Property Mode (Get Programming Modes.vi and Set Programming Modes.vi). The example code also includes a higher-level VI to save Module Programming Modes to a file and retrieve them from that same file at a later date.

How to Use

How-Separate-1

The NI-DAQmx device driver support for the CompactRIO controllers includes properties that allow to programmatically read and set the Module Programming Modes for slots. To interact with these properties, you must also install the NI System Configuration software.

This is also supported for sbRIO products.

Thanks. A useful example. Please note that the VI description of the Get Programming Modes subVI is incorrect.

It states "This utility VI takes an array of cRIO Programming Modes and applies them to the chassis. The array of modes will be applied starting with the first slot in the chassis, e.g. the mode at index 0 will be applied to slot 1 of the chassis.". This is the same as the VI description of the Set Programming Modes subVI. This description is correct for the "Set" VI, but is incorrect for the "Get" VI.
