The way around that is to use a Producer/Consumer architecture.

So if a rapid transient takes place and the temperature spikes, I want to be able to take immediate action and cut off power to a certain module. This is essentially a demonstration of a safety mechanism. So the 'task' being perfomed as I mentioned in my first post, is the shutting off of power.
When safety is the concern, Windows should be nowhere near the system. This is a task for cRIO. And based on what I just skimmed through in this thread, you can do almost everything in the FPGA (which is where the real safety critical code should be).
