You can now create variable channels, allowing you to store constant values for use in calculations, plugins, and more.

 

SystemLink Cloud Preview Support:

This release introduces a preview feature allowing customers to publish their tags and data logs to the SystemLink Cloud.

The SystemLink Cloud is hosted by NI, and is a quick and affordable way for users to share and interact with their data. Learn more about the SystemLink Cloud here.

Additional Features:

• We have created Python examples to interact with FlexLogger using the SystemLink Tag API. Examples of interaction include starting or stopping FlexLogger tests and reading/writing channels. You need FlexLogger and Python installed. Details here.
• Devices with a Delta-Sigma ADC (most 24-bit modules) that support downsampling can now use an anti-aliased filter to downsample at 100Hz. Details here.
• The FlexLogger logo and splash screen have changed! Check out our new look.

Note: FlexLogger 2020 R4 solves a critical bug that impacts FlexLogger 2020 R1, R2, and R3. Impacted users should upgrade to FlexLogger 2020 R4.
