Re: runtime data collection
This very easy to do using ordinary file I/O in Java or C/C++, several teams already use this for runtime feedback. Just write your data to a CSV file, grab it with ftp and open with Excel for whatever analysis you want to do. Just be careful not to exhaust available cRIO memory.

...but I have a feeling that the cRIO has slow memory writes. (Why else would it take several minutes to transfer your code?)
The several-minute transfer/deploy times seem unique to LabView. Deploying Java for example is usually < 1 minute. One of the many reasons our team switched from using LabView last year to using Java this (and future) years.
