If you do not currently have any NI software installed on your host computer, refer to the Install Software section for details on required software and in which order to install it. If you have some NI software already installed, refer to the Software Compatibility Resources section for resources to check the compatibility of your software with your controller.

Install Software

Before using the cRIO-906x, you must install the following application software and device drivers on the host computer in the order shown. Visit ni.com/downloads to download the required software and drivers.

Sequence Software Corresponding Programming Mode
1 LabVIEW
2 LabVIEW Real-Time Module
3 LabVIEW FPGA Module LabVIEW FPGA Mode
4 NI CompactRIO Drivers Scan Interface Mode
