Issue Details

Is it possible to connect 2 screens in extended mode to the cRIO-9045?

Solution

The ability to daisy-chain multiple monitors is a feature of the processor, not the cRIO itself. The Intel processor in the 9045 supports DisplayPort 1.2, which allows for daisy-chaining multiple monitors. To use this feature, we will need monitors with both DisplayPort input and output.
Additionally, we will need compatible monitors that support MST and DisplayPort 1.2.
