Well,
EEPROM is a relatively general term meaning

Now, for a robot application, it
can be useful to write things to the cRIO's memory for use later (like autonomous data, logs, other configuration files, etc), and many teams do this. From my experience, the best way to do this would be to use some native LabVIEW VIs to write files containing whatever data you want to store to the cRIO. In the Programming Pallate, go the the File I/O subpalate. From there, there are various ways to do that. You can use the open/write/close VIs and write a string to a file. You can use the Write Spreadsheet String to File VI to write something spreadsheet-like (like a
CSV File, or you can go to the Configuration File subpalate to write an
INI File. Of course, you can use the corresponding Read VIs to read from the file as well.
Hopefully, this answered what you were asking; your question was a little unclear (but I did my best). If it was, there's some information about getting started with file operations in LabVIEW on their
Developer Zone. Anything else, feel free to ask me.
