I was actually wondering if anyone actually had the opportunity to read the technical specifications for the cRIO and realized there ARE NO INTERRUPTS SUPPORTED ON THE cRIO. I'm guessing not.
Instead of having interrupts, you have an FPGA - the FPGA is a pure polling mechanism, but it's extremely FAST. So, instead of having interrupts taking time away from the main processor, you've got an external unit managing a fast polling strategy for reading external sensors.
