C Series Modules Supported by CompactRIO Scan Mode
PrintOverview
Starting with LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6 National Instruments introduced CompactRIO Scan Mode, a new ease of use feature for programming National Instruments CompactRIO hardware. This new feature reduces the development time and complexity of programming CompactRIO hardware while still providing the high-performance needed by industrial and embedded applications. You can learn more about the features of scan mode here:
Using NI CompactRIO Scan Mode with NI LabVIEW Software
Scan mode is supported by controllers running the VxWorks RTOS with at least 2M gate FPGAs because of the FPGA space requirements. Supported controllers and modules are listed in Software Support for CompactRIO, CompactDAQ, Single-Board RIO, and R Series Devices. The Scan Mode is not supported by Single-Board RIO controllers. All CompactRIO Backplanes support CompactRIO Scan Mode when used with the LabVIEW FPGA Host Interface. Most C Series modules are supported in scan mode, but there are some modules that are not currently supported.
Some digital modules also support specialty digital configuration, which provides up to 1 MHz edge counting, up to 20 kHz pulse-width modulation (PWM), and quadrature configuration. More information on modules supported in Scan Mode can be found in the LabVIEW Real-Time help under the topic:
LV Help >>Real-Time Module >> CompactRIO Reference and Procedures (Scan Interface).
* CompactRIO Scan Mode is designed for single-point I/O updates at rates up to 1kHz. For high-speed waveform streaming, use LabVIEW FPGA.
