Log Data Setup Window - National Instruments NI DIDS-2103 User Manual

The purpose of the Log Data Setup window is to configure data logging of a variety of DI Driver System software
parameters to a text file, stored on the cRIO controller file system. The data files are NOT able to be logged over the
network to another computer. After the data logging is completed, the data file may be copied to another computer
via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) connection over the network. Options for logging data include Sample Period,
RAM Buffer Size, Stop Trigger, Filename Suffix, and Data Delimiter. The variables to be logged are specified in an
array of drop-down selection lists. A logging parameter plot is available within the window and parameters may be
individually selected for plotting.
Log File Directory
Tip Strip: Determines location where data file is saved on DI Driver System controller
Detail: Specifies the location on the cRIO controller where the log file will be saved. Two choices are
available: Target LabVIEW Data Directory and USB Storage Device. If Target LabVIEW Data Directory
is selected, then the file can be retrieved via an FTP browser from the location "/home/lvuser/natinst/
LabVIEW Data". (Previous DI Driver Systems based on the cRIO-9022, cRIO-9076, and cRIO-9082 have
their LabVIEW Data directories located at "c:\ni-rt\LabVIEW Data".) File Paths starting with c:\ indicates that
the log file will be saved to the cRIO controller local hard drive. Data files can optionally be stored to a USB
storage device if connected via the USB port on the cRIO controller front panel. Typically, a USB storage
device will be shown in the controller file browser as u:\.
USB Drive Present
Tip Strip: Indicates presence of external memory at USB connector
