Re: NI USB-6009 and 2009 season
I'd be surprised if you can't connect your USB-6009 to your development PC and create an application for your PC (NOT your cRIO) that uses the module. You should connect to the device to your development PC and see if it shows up under Measurement & Automation Explorer. If it does, there's a good chance that the LabVIEW FRC software will have DAQ VIs for use by the Dashboard PC.

The cRIO will definitely not support the USB-6009. There's no USB Host port on the cRIO and, to the best of my knowledge, the USB Host ports on other cRIOs only support USB drives.

You MIGHT be able to develop a custom Dashboard app that uses the USB-6009 and you might even be able to connect it to I/O on the Driver Station. I can't recall whether Section 8 Robot Rules prohibits connections between the Dashboard PC and the DS via such an intermediary device. Might be a good Q&A question.
