Re: Basic functions in windriver
Why has WPI not released proper documentation yet? That PDF is from October, it still has the DRAFT watermark, and is littered with incomplete examples and napkin CAD, which is extremely frustrating when adjusting to the new API.

Looking at the internal source code has helped some, but many things are still unclear, and the manual could use a glossary for terms related to the cRIO and its new modules..

Don't get me wrong, i highly appreciate what they are doing and they've done quite a bit in a (relatively) small amount of time, but it all feels rather rough around the edges.
