Single Board Rio: sleep mode unavailable

Question

Hi,
I bought a Single Board RIO 9636 which is to be used in a battery-powered system. Hence, power consumption is critical.
I hoped I could use the sleep mode that is mentionned here (p29) and here but the "sleep I/O item" does not appear in the Labview project.
Do I have to do something special to make this I/O appear in the FPGA I/O?
Does my SBRIO support sleep mode?
Any idea of the kind of power consumption I can achieve with sleep mode on? Is there a big difference compared to regular mode?
Best regards,
peper

Peper,
You are actually referencing the previous generation of sbRIO's manual in this post. It is a bit confusing at that manual was labeled 963x. If you go to the sbRIO-9636's product page, you can select "Resources" and get to the prodcut manuals from there. Here is the sbRIO-9636's manual.
The Sleep I/O item allows C Series module to enter a sleep mode, not the sbRIO controller itself; therefore, the sbRIO-9636 does not have a Sleep I/O item under the FPGA target in the LabVIEW Project.
If you want to go into a lower power state, you can stop the FPGA bitfile from running which should lower the power consumption (you can do this with the FPGA Abort invoke node with the FPGA Interface that runs on RT).
