USB 3.1 Type-C Dual Role
The USB 3.1 Type-C Dual Role port implements dual role functionality and is capable of
functioning as either a USB 3.1 Gen1 host or device. When operating as a host, the port
supports common USB devices such as mass-storage devices, keyboards, mice, and USB
cameras. When operating a device, use this port to connect the cRIO-904x to a host PC. The
USB device functionality provides an alternate method to connect the cRIO-904x to a host PC
and is intended for configuration, application deployment, debugging, and maintenance. The
role of the port is determined automatically based on the cable inserted into the port. For
example, the port will automatically function as a device when the cRIO-904x is connected to
a host PC using the NI USB Type-C male to Type-A male cable provided in the kit.
USB 3.1 Type-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode
The USB 3.1 Type-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode port implements both a USB 3.1 Gen1 host
and a DisplayPort 1.2 source using the USB Type-C DisplayPort alternate mode. Use a USB
Type-C video adapter or monitor supporting the DisplayPort alternate mode to use this port as
a display output. Alternatively, this port may be used as a standard USB host port and supports
common USB devices such as mass-storage devices, keyboards, mice, and USB cameras. Use
a USB Type-C male to USB Type-A female adapter to use this port with USB devices
