Are you aware of any other features that are not implemented in C++ or Java but are in LabView (even outside of counters)?

I'd also appreciate any clarification on what you mean by moving down a layer. Other than switching to LabView, is there some other action that can be taken? I thought the FPGA code was handled by the cRIO imaging tool and no modifications to the FPGA programming are allowed. Is this your understanding as well? I am not sure if your comment implies more is available.
