Using the Internal Real-Time Clock
The system clock of the cRIO-9012/9014 is synchronized with the internal
high-precision real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides
timestamp data to the controller. You can also use the internal real-time
clock to correct drift of the system clock. Refer to the
Specifications
section
for the accuracy specifications of the real-time clock.
Using the SMB Connector for Digital I/O
You can use the SMB connector of the cRIO-9012/9014 to connect digital
devices to the controller. For example, if you connect the pulse-per-second
output of a GPS device to the SMB connector of the cRIO-9012/9014, you
can use the GPS device to correct for drift of the system clock.
For software that supports GPS drift-correction and other digital I/O
through the SMB connector, go to

Connecting USB Mass-Storage Devices to the Controller
The cRIO-9012/9014 supports common USB mass-storage devices such as
USB Flash drives and USB-to-IDE adapters formatted with FAT16 and
FAT32 file systems. You can connect USB mass-storage devices to the
cRIO-9012/9014 while the controller is operating. USB devices are
mapped to the
U:
drive in LabVIEW. The cRIO-9012/9014 does not
support other types of USB devices. Refer to the
LabVIEW Help
for more
information.
