cRIO 9014 Modifying existing program

[Vendar22]

Hi All

I am beginner in using NI Products, in my workplace I have a cRIO-9014 which is doing data logging application for 10 channels. But i was asked to modify the existing one to reduce it to 6 channels and modify other 4 channels, I am using NI-9239 analog module along with cRIO 9014. Could any one share how to access the existing program inside cRIO-9014 and do modification?.What should be installed to access the program inside cRIO 9014 hardware?

Thanks and regards

You will need LabVIEW with the Real-Time and FPGA modules as well as the cRIO drivers.  As far as the code, you will have to talk to whoever developed it.

Hi cross rulz

Thanks for the reply

If i am possible to see the program i will understand and modify it accordingly, My prior question is how to see the existing program which application do i need to install and see the program, so that i can understand and modify it. Can u provide list of software in order to install to access the program. I am first time using the NI system, so i don't know what are the software need to be installed.

Thank and regards

The application running on the controller will have been built and deployed to the cRIO-9014 target from within a LabVIEW project.  Source code is not stored on the controller - only the final executable, compiled for the controller processor.  In order to view and edit the source code, you need those original source files (the .lvproj project file, and all .vi virtual instrument files used within it).  You need National Instruments LabVIEW (a version equal to or later than the version used to build the existing application), with the real-time and FPGA add-on modules installed, as well as the appropriate device drivers for the target in question.  Then, you need only open the .lvproj file in LabVIEW. If you don't know how to do that, however, you are unlikely to be able to edit the source code.
