log data on the host computer using cRIO-9035

[ColtonD]

Is it possible for me to log data on the host computer opposed to on the controller itself? I'm needing to log quite a bit of data and I'm not wanting to use my storage on the cRIO. I'm using scan mode on the controller.

Thanks

Lots of ways to do this. You can write a datalogger to run on the PC, to read shared variables hosted on controller and  write them to a file. There is also the DSC module for logging hundreds to thousands of shared variables to a database, if you need that.

I recommend NOT going with the Network Published Shared Variables.  They are slow and lossy.  What I recommend is using a Network Stream to send your formatted data to your host PC which can just send the stream data straight to a file.
