Restarting data capture after power failure using Labview RT/cDAQ-9137

Hello all,

I am trying to program a cDAQ-9137 for extended, unmonitored data capture and logging. In the event of a power failure or cDAQ restarting, I would like the code to continue taking data and logging it from where it previously left off.

How would I go about setting this up?

Thank you,
AbeG

When the logging starts, write info to a file that will let the application know it was logging when it was last active. Read that file when the application starts and ...

 

A config file would be good for this. Make sure you "close" the config file after writing it to make sure it gets written to disk.
