Powering the PD with a bench supply is not supported. This means that it is possible to make it work, but we will not put any effort in to fixing "bugs" that occur when it is thusly powered. For example, a request that says "When powering the PD from a power supply the WiFi cuts out" will be answered with "Use a battery instead".

NI sells an AC/DC adaptor for the cRIO, but I don't think there is anything special about it. Take a look at the cRIO manual on the NI website.
