Copying Embedded Data Logger Components Programmatically

[Sarci1]

Overview

Using the NI VeriStand System Definition .NET API, it is possible to copy existing log files and channel groups within or across instances of the Embedded Data Logger custom device. This capability is not currently built into the existing system explorer capabilities, so the user must manually create and configure each instance of a channel group and log file independently.

Description

There are three examples which demonstrate the use of the attached Embedded Data Logger System Definition Library.

Copy Embedded Data Logger Channel Group

The Example - Copy Embedded Data Logger Channel Group.vi allows you to copy a specific group within a log file.

Copy Embedded Data Logger Log File

The Example - Copy Embedded Data Logger Log File.vi allows you to copy a specific log file within an Embedded Data Logger instance.

Copy Embedded Data Logger All

The Example - Copy Embedded Data Logger All.vi allows you to copy a specific log file and channel group within an Embedded Data Logger instance. This VI provides a better UI to the user.
