This application is an example of programmatically discovering, configuring, and accessing CompactRIO Scan Mode I/O in LabVIEW 2009.
The LabVIEW 2009 Real-Time Module and NI-RIO 3.2 increase the flexibility of CompactRIO Scan Mode, giving you the ability to programmatically discover, configure, and access I/O in a deployed system. Using the new programmatic I/O API, applications can be developed to handle the presence of any combination of supported C Series I/O Modules. For example, a single CompactRIO system could be used as simple temperature data logger when thermocouple input modules are present or as a closed-loop motor controller when PWM output and quadrature encoder input capable digital I/O modules are present, without deploying new settings from a development machine.
