Although I think that the compressor will be run in a closed loop without any way of code affecting it, you are certainly right. We had 6 cims on our drive train this year and we often browned out the cRIO with about 20 seconds left in the match. Having the ability to see the current being pulled would let us stop that from ever happening again.
