Could someone point me to the Hyperterminal instructions for the cRIO and also let me know if you've had any trouble with NetConsole I should be aware of.

You need to configure HyperTerminal (I prefer PuTTY for serial terminal) for 9600 baud, 8bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. You need to flip the CONSOLE OUT dip switch on the cRIO to ON (push down away from the outside edge) and reboot the cRIO. Connect with a null modem cable, and you should be up and running with serial console. Remember that you need to disable NetConsole (remove it from the ni-rt.ini startup) if you want the global stdio to show up on the serial port.
