Hi,
right now I'm implementing a VeriStand project with the Embedded Data Logger to stream data to disk.
As stated in this post I mapped a HW Signal to the Log Trigger of the Embedded Data Logger.
I.e. only upon a falling edge of the digital signal the logger writes data to the TDMS file. Some kind of decimation depending upon a HW signal.
Question is: I only want the most recent data to be written to disk. Data between the last trigger and the actual trigger should be dropped. So I set the FIFO size of the Embedded Data Logger to the number of channels to be written, in this case 12 channels = FIFO Size 12. Works fine.
But everytime I add or delete a channel to be logged I have to manually edit the FIFO size which can lead to errors if I forget to do that.
Maybe there is another way to tell the data to only log the most recent samples?
Regards,
