I assume John Brohan wanted to be able to program the Raspberry Pi with it in turn being connected to an NI 6009. The product in question does not allow any programming on the Raspberry Pi. Instead the Raspberry Pi just takes the NI 6009's data and formats it suitable for display on an iPad running Data Dashboard, using fixed C code on the Pi. For the announced product, it would have been better to put the software on the iPad and have it directly connect to the NI 6009. The Raspberry Pi adds no value.

For a fuller discussion, see http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/LabVIEW-for-Raspberry-Pi/idi-p/2082026 (take a look at the comments towards the end).

Now if the Raspberry Pi was running LabVIEW and connected to a NI 6009 ... that would be an exciting product.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what is shown in https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-25806 could have been done without the Raspberry Pi (just NI 6009 and iPad). After all, NI has expertise in programming the iPad with it's Data Dashboard product. Why have three boxes when two will do?

Regards,
Vito

You asked*, NI answered:

* Well I guess they may have had it in the works already, but if you can
get it to work with whatever software you were planning to use on the Pi
then it is what you were looking for!
