File transfer over satellite via RS-232 modem on a Compact Fieldpoint

[Ashbaernon]

Hello all.

New community member here 🙂

I am building a data logger for remote applications and have a requirement to send the log file (csv format) over a satellite modem to a PC at predetermined intervals.
Basically, I was wondering if there is an easy way to go about this considering that the sat modem uses SLIP and I can't find a protocol driver for the cFP.
I can use AT commands to dial using VISA no problem.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

Ash.

Hi Ash,

I'm not sure this is a problem because of FieldPoint. Instead, I would focus on the ability to communicate with SLIP compliant device in the LabVIEW Development Environment. Have you seen KnowledgeBase What is SLIP and How Do I Communicate With SLIP Compliant Devices Using NI-VISA? All information in this document should be readily translatable to FieldPoint programming.

Cheers.

Ah thankyou for that. It's exactly what I needed 🙂

Cheers,

Ash.
