If it's not a software problem we can start addressing the Digital Sidecar as "Watson".

668 upgraded to cRIO image v28 and the compresor-while-disabled stopped happening. In there somewhere we fried the Digital Sidecar and replaced it. I don't think the compressor-running problem was a bad Digital Sidecar - the relay for the compressor cycled on and off per the pneumatic pressure switch, and the relay LED on the DS matched the compresor's operation. It worked exactly as it should, the only problem was that it was happening while disabled. That being said, I can't prove it was the Image version and not the Digital Sidecar. Everybody is required to run cRIO v28 and I'm not going to experiment with v27 now. Maybe in the off season.
