NI-DAQmx Base\apps\nidatalogger.ini

[terblah]

Can the subject item be used to establish default startup values and so forth for NI Datalogger?

Hello terblah,

you´re able to change the startup values for your datalogger.

INI files are platform-independent configuration files that can be used to modify certain parameters of your executable.

After you run your executable for the first time, you might find that "YourApp.ini" is just an empty file created by "YourApp.exe." Unless you change options in your executable (i.e., Tools >> Options), this file will likely remain empty. For example, if you go to Tools >> Options >> Colors >> and change the colors of your front panel, these new settings will be saved in "YourApp.ini." The INI file might look something like this:

[YourApp]
prefDlgTestData=1234
menu.foreground=00FF2A59
postScriptLevel2=False
colorHistoryItemA=001247FF
colorHistoryItemB=00FF2A59

The next time you open "YourApp.exe" it will read "YourApp.ini" and change the default colors accordingly.

For further information and example look here.

Regards

The NI Datalogger app, supplied with NI-DAQmx, does not have Tools >> Options, or anything similar, on the menubar. Can a directly edit the nidatalogger.ini file to support unique startup situations? If so, can documentation be provided that describes the elements in the ini file supported by the NI Datalogger app that comes bundled with NI-DAQmx?

Hello,

You cannot alter the startup conditions of the NI Datalogger. The values startup values are default and cannot be changed by altering the .ini file.
