XNet Log to TDMS (similar to DAQmx)

Status: New

What I propose is to have functionality built into the XNet API that is similar to the DAQmx API.  I'd want a separate subpalette where functions like Start, and Stop logging can be invoked which will log the raw data from an XNet interface into a TDMS file.  Maybe even some other functions like forcing a new file, or forcing a new file after the current file is so old, or of a certain file size.  On buses that are heavily loaded, reading every frame, and then logging it can be use a non-trivial amount of resources, and having this built into the API would likely be more efficient.

 

XNet already has a standard for how to read and write raw frames into a TDMS file that is compatible with DIAdem, and has several shipping examples with LabVIEW to log into this format.
