Thanks for the kind words, Mary - but that was the easy part. The real heros were John, Nikki, James, and Josh for doing the swap. Especially with me badgering them to get it to the point where we could apply power to start the re-image. They did an absolutely perfect job of getting the old unit out, getting the new unit in just to the point where we could hook up cables and start the imaging process, and then they continued getting everything in the rest of the way while working in parallel with me. Truly a masterful swap. It definitely helped that we swapped a cRIO in Detroit so they had practice of doing it once before.
I also forgot to thank members of Teams 78, 40, and a few others who had their laptops ready with the imaging tool. The network port on my laptop is a bit flaky and sometimes causes issues at the most inopportune time. They were standing by ready to image if the imaging process failed. Also, thanks to the NI guys that stopped by.
