Currently, you can view the console from MAX, but if you don't know what buttons to press... lets just say it's in there somewhere. My idea is to make it more accessible, such as a right mouse button feature off the RT Target.
The ability to view the console is available when you use the Network Browser to connect to your target, or just type in the IP Address into your internet browser.

This unfortunately isn't "valid" on a Linux-based cRIO controller, like the cRIO-9068. Unless, of course, it provided a direct link to the actual Linux console (by opening putty or some similar tool).

I'm going to mark this as completed for the Network Browser use case and then the NI Linux Real-Time target case is captured in this newer post: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Real-Time-Idea-Exchange/Add-console-to-Linux-based-cRIO/idi-p/287113...
