My understanding is that once you install the plugin you use the storage VIs to read/write the data file. I've never tried this myself, though.

That's what I meant. The storage VIs are in LabVIEW. They're in the File I/O palette. To be honest, I have never tried this myself, but supposedly that's how it's supposed to work. In theory. There's not a whole lot of documentation on this on the NI site, and the example that is provided has password-protected subVIs (WHY????), so there's no way to see the actual code for the subVI, which is where the real information is.
