Connecting IMU by USB to CompactRio

Hi there, I want to get data from an IMU with a CompactRio, this is the model:

It has a USB port and I want to connect it to my CompactRio, I am not sure what module for CompactRio I need to read the data.

If you have an older cRIO that runs VXWorks I don't think you will get it working.

 

If you have a newer cRIO that runs NI Linux RT, and you have a LOT of Linux experience then you may be able to get the sensor working through the USB port on the controller.  The manufacturer seems to provide a Linux driver, but I think there would still be some serious effort involved. Unless you already own the device, I would avoid this path.

 

To summarise, my advice would be to avoid USB and find a sensor that connects over some other bus.
