4.28 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 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 "c:\ni-rt\LabVIEW Data". (DI Driver Systems based on
the cRIO-9022 and cRIO-9076 have their LabVIEW Data directories located at the same location; DI Driver Systems
based on the cRIO-9066 have their LabVIEW Data directories located at “/home/lvuser/natinst/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:\.
