Display port 1.2

[s_crowther]

Do any Compact Rio's support dual display on the mini display port or is there another way to make a daisy chain of monitors on the compact rio?

Hi s_crowther,

Unfortunately, we don't have any options for multiple monitors for the RIO's as DisplayPort does not natively support multiple monitors. There are however third-party DisplayPort splitters that can split a single display and send it to multiple monitors. None of these have been tested to work on cRIO or are supported, so I'm afraid I don't know whether this would just duplicate the display to multiple mointors or whether it would be possible to extend the display.

In short it seems that only options for multiple VI is to resize the Front Panels to display on a single panel. Sorry I can't be of more help! 

Kind regards, 

Rebecca

Im trying to create a program on the cRIO 9030 that runs a vi one monitor and another vi on a second monitor. The display set up when I use a splitter on the mini display port only recognises one display for the two monitors. This is such a simple process.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Did you read the "unsupported" part?

The cRIO graphics capabilities are very limited. Having done a few cRIO-9030 embedded GUI's via the display port, I would image the performance to be very slow when attempting to draw 2 screens of data.

If you want a verbose GUI, use a Host PC. Employing TCP/IP and UDP you can stream data freely from the cRIO and create very nice displays.

This is a good way to leverage the robustness of the cRIO with the graphic display power of a Windows box [Or OSX].
