cRIO-FRC Operating Instructions and Specifications

CONSOLE OUT Switch

With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the CONSOLE OUT 
switch to read the IP address and firmware version of the controller. Use a 
null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the chassis to a computer. 
Push the switch to the ON position. Make sure that the serial-port terminal 
program is configured to the following settings:

9,600 bits per second

Eight data bits

No parity

One stop bit

No flow control

The serial-port terminal program displays the IP address and firmware 
version of the chassis. Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal 
operation.

IP RESET Switch

If you need to reset the IP address to the default, use the FRC cRIO Imaging 
Utility provided with the LabVIEW for FRC software. In the event that 
utility fails to restore the default IP address, you can use the IP RESET 
switch to restore it. Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and 
reboot the chassis to reset the IP address to 

0.0.0.0

. If the chassis is on 

your local subnet and the IP RESET switch is in the ON position, the 
chassis appears in software with IP address 

0.0.0.0

NO APP Switch

Push the NO APP switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEW RT 
startup application from running at startup. If you want to permanently 
disable a LabVIEW RT application from running at startup, you must 
disable it in LabVIEW. To run an application at startup, push the NO APP 
switch to the OFF position, build an application in LabVIEW, and 
configure the application in LabVIEW to launch at startup. If you already 
have an application configured to launch at startup and you push the 
NO APP switch from ON to OFF, the startup application is automatically 
enabled. For more information about automatically launching VIs at startup 
and disabling VIs from launching at startup, refer to the 

LabVIEW Robotics 

Programming Guide for the FIRST Robotics Competition

.

The NO APP switch does not affect C/C++ startup applications. You can 
use the Undeploy option in Wind River Workbench to disable a C/C++ 
application.
