cRIO - Where to start out?

[cjones109]

Hi all,

I've been assigned a project which involves using a cRIO/FPGA/Real-Time LabVIEW Modules. I have a little knowledge of using LabVIEW but I've never done anything besides very simple VIs.

Are there any recommended books for cRIO? I've looked through some documents on the NI website but I'm not really sure where to start with FPGA/Real-time - any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Here are some pages to start with:

https://www.ni.com/en/shop/compactrio/compactrio-developers-guide.html

Go through the NI CompactRIO Developers Guide, that will give the basic for using cRIO.

I don't know if there are any book out there.

Hope this helps

Hi cjones109,

Another great place to start is the Getting Started with cRIO and LabVIEW guide which will guide you through the process of configuring and programming your cRIO in LabVIEW. I have linked this below for your convenience.

Hi Chris,

I found some comprehensive background information on FPGA programming here:

<https://learn.ni.com/learn/article/getting-started-with-fpga>

That is if you plan to develop large parts of your application on the FPGA, not using the scan engine. In case you're not sure, read these two:
