Deploy FedEx Fire Suppression System with NI Single-Board RIO Embedded temperature monitoring and control of suppression system Protects packages, pilots, and planes from fires Rapid embedded prototyping with CompactRIO and LabVIEW – fast deployment with NI Single-Board RIO “We were able to start with LabVIEW and CompactRIO for prototyping and quickly migrate our code to the new NI Single-Board RIO for deployment – all in less than a year.” Jeremy Snow, President at Ventura Aerospace Prototype 14

KCBioMediX 600,000 premature infants born in the U.S. each year NTrainer System based on CompactRIO and LabVIEW Statechart Module –Pressure monitoring/control Going to NI Single-Board RIO for high volumes “With National Instruments LabVIEW and NI CompactRIO, we were able to reduce our development cost by $250,000 … from four months to four weeks.” Dave Stalling, Chief Technical Officer at KCBioMediX 15

FAQs Problem: I have used the specialty digital functionality of CompactRIO Scan Mode to configure a digital module as a counter or quadrature encoder and need to reset it programmatically. How can I do this? Solution: The Reset Counter (Scan Interface) VI can be used to reset specialty digital counters, as well as the position measurement of a quadrature encoder. It can be located here:...LabVIEW 8.6\examples\CompactRIO\Shared\Rese t Counter (Scan Interface).vi 16

Problem: I am using CompactRIO Scan Mode and need to programmaticlly set the shunt calibration of a channel. How can I do this? Solution: Use the Set Shunt Calibration (Scan Interface) VI located at:...\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\CompactRIO\ Shared\Set Shunt Calibration (Scan Interface).vi 17
