I am not sure what happened to the NI module prices, I just checked my order and I paid $152 for the analog 9201 card in September, now it show up at $351, yikes!

Still a 8 slot cRio for 9 credits, or a wire stripper for 10 credits... I think I'd take the cRio..
Exactly...the cRIO was easily one of the best deals, if not the best deal, on there. NI sure is asking a lot for the modules, I've been looking around to see if it's possible to get them cheaper anywhere else, but I'm coming up short.

I'm not sure if Chris Rake or anyone else from NI is around who might be able to clear the air on cRIO module pricing and how teams might be able to purchase them at a more reasonable cost to accompany these new 8-slot cRIOs.
