This example has been replaced by the In-Vehicle Datalogger Reference Application for CompactRIO.
This example provides an application template (reference design) to develop an embedded datalogger on the cRIO (CompactRIO) platform. This is not designed to be a turn-key application, but a framework to be customized in order to develop a datalogger for a specific application.
The attached cRIO Embedded Datalogger reference example is intended to serve as an application framework for developing an application specific data logging application. It contains all of the major components of this type of datalogger and can be easily customized and modified for a specific application.
The communication between the cRIO datalogger and host application requires the separate installation of the Simple TCP Messaging (STM) component, which can be found on Developer Zone.
The host application also requires the LabVIEW Internet toolkit for FTP communication with the datalogger. FTP is used to download the datalogger configuration and retrieve data files from the datalogger. If the Internet toolkit is not available, FTP operations may be performed manually using another FTP client.
I am very much interested in receiving feedback and comments on this reference design. Please post short comments on this entry. If you would like to enhance and contribute to this reference design or provide more extensive feedback, post a note in the discussion forum for this reference design.
A more complete version of this reference design and associated article will be posted on Developer Zone soon.
Other requirements:
Simple TCP Messaging (STM) component (available on Developer Zone), LabVIEW Internet Toolkit, LabVIEW FPGA, LabVIEW RT
