Re: Using the cRIO without Driver Station

The R in cRIO is for Reconfigurable. With the right tools, this is definitely doable. If the project needs similar inputs, outputs, and safety resources, then the FIRST FPGA image may be the best choice, but yes, the FIRST system requires a driver station with safety capabilities to be present.

Using MAX and/or the LV tools, you can likely select between a few different and generic FPGA images. If you would like to define your own, contact NI, or drop by the booth in St Louis, and ask about them.
