how to save tdms data to a USB stick on crio

Question

Morning,

I want to save the files to an external USB stick on CRIO, cause the internal crio system can't hold too much data.

And also, how can I log in to the internal system?I tried with ftp://, it's not working, and I can log in to the system using http:// but I can delete anything form the system.

Many thanks.

Aileen

Answer 1

Your USB Drive seen on cRIO as drive U:\\

Write code under cRIO and use Open TDMS.vi connect path control and specify the path.

For internal memory it would be C:\\test.tdms For USB U:\\test.tdms

Use operation input for that VI and connect there open or create constant to create test.tdms file if does not exist.

Than use TDMS write to log your data.

You can save data using standard File I/O functions/VI's. You will also have to use standard windows file naming and file paths conventions such as a backslash...etc. Also as mentioned above, you will need to use u as the first drive and v as the second and so on.
