Can I store and retrieve data from a Fieldpoint controller?

Can I store data to a Fieldpoint sytem that does not utilize a memory storage card and is not connected to a computer?

Could you please elaborate more?
What do you mean not using the memory storage card?
Are you talking about the removable flash card on the cFP-2020? Are you talking about the regular flash card on the FP-20xx?
If you need to store (log) data, you will require a place to put it (flash card) in the FP-20xx...Remember that the flash card of the FP-20xx is recognized as a C Drive. All you need to do is to use the File I/O VIs to log the data to this drive.
If you want to have data in RAM, you could create arrays, or even RT FIFOS, but this is volatile data.
One last idea...you could check in the market to see if there is a kind of non-volatile data logger device that you can connect to the serial port of the FP-20xx.

Thanks! Due to your response I now have a full understanding of how and where fieldpoint stores data.
I need to utilize a fieldpoint system that utilizes a non-volatile flash card or write to volatile memory utilizing arrays. Kool! I'll get the cFP-2020. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, so aside from using a cFP-2020 with removable flash card, I can write to a FP-2000 by utilzing the file I/O VIS with a path of c:\.

Yes...

The FP-20xx flash card is recognized as drive C.

If you are using the cFP-2020, you will have a drive C and a Drive D (D is the removable flash card).

Just Remember that LabVIEW RT uses the 8.3 format for file name (no more than 8 characters for a file name).
