LabVIEW RIO programming compared to desktop environment
Implements precision I/O timing, massively-parallel computation, high-speed signal processing, and high-speed process control loops. Implements high-level command and control, user interface, network connections, and low to moderate speed process control loops. Gigabit Ethernet, USB, RS232/RS485, Mini DisplayPort, SD, WiFi.
667MHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, 1.33 GHz dual-core Intel Atom, or 1.91 GHz quad-core Intel Atom.Software development system requirements: LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, LabVIEW FPGA, and NI RIO.Single-Board RIO features similar functionality without the ruggedized case for direct integration into your own product.Integrates a real-time (RT) processor and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for I/O.
CompactRIO (pictured above) features a rugged chassis and wide array of plug-in modules. The National Instruments standard platform for embedded control and monitoring.
