cRIO 9066

[FlyNI]

Hey everybody,

im new to the whole NI/Labview world. For a project i need to setup a new Labview script. For this i can use an NI cRIO 9066 with two NI9205 and one NI9264. They were used before in a different project.

I set them back to factory settings and installed the newest firmware and software. 

When opening NI MAX it shows me the 9066 but opening the subcategories of the cRIO it doesn't display the three modules. 

I've read that modules dont show in MAX but looking at the Youtube video of NI "Getting started with Compact Rio" they definetly do.

Can anyone help me?

Sorry if the question is maybe dumb or anything, i'm just a complete beginner.

Thanks in advance

In this video they used a different device (cRIO9045), which may behave different.

The cRIO906x will not show its modules in MAX.

You need to include/configure the modules in your LabVIEW project!

Hey Gerd,

thanks a lot for the quick answer. I just wanted to have everything set up like in the videos. But now i can start with the LabVIEW stuff.

Thanks again

Hi Fly,

I really recommend to take the tutorial on "cRIO / Realtime basics" to learn about features and pitfalls of using RT targets.

Right now even the self-paced online courses are avaliable for free…
