After speaking with one of the NI Reps at the Championship, the impression that I got was that the New CRio was being designed so that it could run on 12V, eliminating the need for 24V power from the PD board. But, I may have been wrong in my interpretation.

Overall, I'm happy with the idea of a newer smaller CRio, considering that we've never used more than 4 of the slots in the original CRio - and I'm happy that someone somewhere is listening to the feedback teams have been giving over the last few years in respect to the CRio.
