Hi,
I am trying to utilize ExpressCard slot on my PXI-8106 controller card to store TDMS files on a Lexar 16G ExpressCard drive. I cannot seem to get LabVIEW Real-Time 8.5 to recognize the card as a drive. The drive is formatted FAT32 and installed prior to power up. This is an ExpressCard drive NOT an ExpressCard to USB drive/flash media converter card.
Any suggestions on how to do this? I need a way to move large (8G+) TDMS files from the PXI system to another machine for processing. FTP over the network is possible but not optimal.
Also, am I correct that LV-RT does not support USB drives while running/executing a program? I want to disable USB to improve determinism -- will doing this disable the ExpressCard interface?
If needed, it is easy for me to upgrade to LV 8.6.
An alternative would be to utilize a second SATA drive mounted externally some how . . .
Thanks in advance,
