Compact RIO Sleep mode

[j3r3mi]

Good day guys and gals. I'm building an application which performs certain task at certain time. For example i can set my application to perform Task A every hour, or to perform Task B at 12am, etc....

Because this system  (basically compact rio) is powered using a battery, therefore the "juice" is very much precious.

I was wondering if its possible to pragmatically "sleep" and "wake" the cRIO.

I'm intending to use 907x or 901x.

Any suggestions are warming welcomed!

Cheers!

Hmmm, i found some answers to my question.

However, i have another question pertaining to webby 1. Sleep line can be used only in FPGA mode?

How about scan mode? Its rather too much work to design in FPGA mode than Scan mode.

How about hybrid mode?

Many thanks!

Cheers!

The way I understand it Sleep can only be used in full FPGA mode.  Not scan mode or even hybrid mode.  This is becuase those other two modes basically load code on the FPGA that keeps polling the modules, it is a bit difficult to sleep a module if it is getting polled.
