Re: Remote cRIO code deploying
It's possible to receive code remotely, but only if you can set up port forwarding at your work space. All the netbeans deploy script does is build your code, FTP the built files to the cRIO, then tell the cRIO to restart itself.

As for the network communication, yes it is possible to have a separate thread. If you're using Java, I'd use a TimerTask. You can create a class which extends TimerTask, create a new java.util.Timer object, then call timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(this, 0, period), where period is the time (in ms) between each iteration.
