NI VeriStand Model - Automatically segment Embedded Data Logger files based on time

[Ryan-C]

Overview
The example demonstrates how to automatically segment a file created using the Embedded Data Logger custom device,
you can use a model created in LabVIEW.

Description:
The example demonstrates how to automatically segment a file created using the Embedded Data Logger custom device,
you can use a model created in LabVIEW.

Steps to implement or execute code
To implement this example:

1. Add the Segment File.lvmodel to your existing system definition.
2. Set the Segment Time input channel of the model to the desired amount of time (in seconds) for each file.
3. Map the System Time system channel to the System Time input of the model.
4. Map the Log Command output of the model to the Log Command input of the Embedded Data Logger.

Note: This model assumes that the Log Trigger channel is always true (= 1). Modifications will need to be made if the Log Trigger channel varies during deployment.

To execute this example:

Installation

• Segment File.vi - The VI used to generate the LabVIEW model which is responsible for triggering the 'Log Command' channel   of the Embedded Data Logger
• Segment File.lvmodel - The generated LabVIEW model from the Segment File.vi
• File Segmentation folder - An example VeriStand project to demonstrate the file segmentation behavior
