Re: NI USB-6009 and 2009 season

Thanks for responding. No I did not expect to connect it to the cRIO. We've used that device in the past, connected to a laptop, to let some of the students develop an idea of how some of our sensors behave (without needing a complete robot).

No, the base LabView package for cRIO does not appear to include enough software to recognize the USB device. After I added DAQmx, it was able to recognize it. However, I do not know how to use it (short of installing additional NI software that does not appear to be included in the 2009 FRC kit). Any ideas of the steps I should take to use this device, connected to a laptop?

Thanks,
