Save Data on a USB Flash Drive connected to a cRIO/sbRIO

[TobyHex]

Overview

This VI demonstrates how to write a string into a textfile and save that file to a USB Flash drive connected to a cRIO.

Description

Some cRIOs/sbRIOs offer an USB port which can be used to connect a USB Flash drive or other storage devices to the cRIO. This example shows how to use the USB Flash drive in LabVIEW. Additional information are available in the KnowlegeBase Writing to an External USB Drive or SD Card from a LabVIEW Real-Time Device.

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)
• LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2012 (or compatible)
• NI-RIO 12.0 (or compatible)

 Hardware

• cRIO/sbRIO with USB port (cRIO-9012, 9014, 9024, 9076, ...)
  

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download and open the attached ZIP-file
2. Open the [Main] ...VI and follow the instructions on the Front Panel

Thank you for your shearing.

If you are all right, could you tell me how to apply this VI for MyRIO?

Best regards,

Hi Sir,

May I ask how to read USB data in sbRIO RT mode?

Just change write text file to read?

and does USB data format have limit? (like: string , numeric etc....)

Thank you.

Hi all member forum labview. I wanna ask about saving data on flash disk via MyRio Hardware. I have 2 data, there are current sensor and voltage sensor. I have to measure 2 sensors and save data to flashdisk via MyRIo Hardware. Can u tell me how to create program in labview for this case. Thank a lot.
