Re: New CRIO in the KOP next year?
Basically, the KOP has remained consistent from year to year. The elimination of a Control System would be a substantial deviation from the 'norm'.

Until this past weekend, we hadn't given it a second thought about not being supplied another Control System next year. After hearing about the large contribution NI has made to provide these components and software to the teams, a duplication of this KOP item may not be included each year.

Being this system is going to be used in the coming years, our Team will definitely want to have at least (1) additional complete system for spare and testing. If we're not going to receive another within the 2010 KOP, we'll re-allocate some funds to purchase another soon. But, by no means, can we justify doing this if it the system will be supplied in the 2010 KOP.

Anyone know who the FIRST contact would be on this issue? Please send a link to this thread so our concerns can be noted.
