Remote System does not appear in nidaqmx system list using python

[evanmc]

Windows 10

Python 3.8

Max July 2021

Driver version 21.0.0

cRIO 9053

The cRIO shows up in Max, but this python snippet shows me an empty list.  I am completely new top this, so I'm probably missing something incredibly obvious. 

import nidaqmx as ni

system = ni.system.System.local()
for device in system.devices:
    print(device)

A compactRIO is a standalone Real-Time-system. You cannot connect this to Windows and use it with the DAQmx driver like a cDAQ chassis.

Ah, so I was missing something obvious.   I was thrown off a bit by the programming mode offered on the module as NIDAQmx, so I thought the driver would work. So at the risk of asking another dumb question.... Can I control a standalone system at all with a windows application?  (Language doesn't matter, C, python, don't really care)

Many thanks,
