4.16 Log Data Setup Window
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.
File Path
Tip Strip: Location to save log data
Detail: Specifies the .txt file path on the cRIO controller where the log file will be saved. An FTP browser
button is available to the right of the path field for assistance with specifying the path via the “FTP Browser”
dialog, shown in Figure 4.16.a. The default data storage directory is “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:\.
