Replacing PXI with PC control with cRIO

[jyang72211]

Right now, I am trying to replace a PXI with a PC controllers and 2 7833-R FPGA cards with a cRIO.  The PXI has a wireless adapter that connect to the DUT wireless.  To make connection a third party software need to be used as well. Can I do the same thing in a cRIO?  For my application, I will be calling other DLL as well.  Maybe I have to hav ea PC controller?

jyang72211,

Take a look at cRIO 9082 with Windows OS installed.

Hello jyang72211,

I agree with Wayne, the easiest solution will be utilizing a cRIO running Windows.  This will definitely ease the transition, and will help with your DLLs, as many DLLs that utilize Windows OS specific functionality would not function on an RTOS.

I would also like to point out the wireless modules available for use with cRIO.  Take a look at this page, specifically Section 3: Communication Modules.  As you can see, a variety of third party products exist for many different communications protocols.  

Good luck with your transition!
