Re: Using a bench power supply for cRIO

Harry,
You should check the NI website for info on the CRIO. I seem to remember that the unit can accept anything from 19 to 30 volts and has a specified current for that range depending on the modules you have installed.
If a little care is taken in tying down the wiring prior to removal, the new PD should be a much easier pull and install than previous electrical distribution. As always, wire coding or color tagging helps.
