Do Virtex-5 Backplanes Support CompactRIO Scan Mode?

Hardware: CompactRIO>>Chassis (Backplanes)

Problem:
CompactRIO Scan Mode requires* a backplane with at least 2M gates.  However, gates do not apply to Virtex-5 FPGAs.  Can I use Scan Mode with Virtex-5 cRIO-911x chassis?

Solution:
Yes, cRIO-911x chassis support CompactRIO Scan Mode.  The minimum software versions required are LabVIEW 8.6, LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6, and NI-RIO 3.1.0.

*For information on using Scan Mode with unsupported targets, see KnowledgeBase 4RCFASLX: Using CompactRIO Scan Mode with Unsupported Backplanes.
