CitadelControl problem

[tritone]

I am trying to implement a CitadelControl object using Lookout 5.0. What I'd like to be able to do is to select groups of Citadel traces for archival using a switch / expression combination. When a the switch is activated, the correct pattern-matching expression is generated, and this goes in the "what" datamember of the CitadelControl object.

My problem is that no matter what I put in for "what", it always archives all of the traces. I am unable to select even a single trace to archive. I have taken a look at the example process from the National Instruments site, and even tried modifying that, but still no luck.

I'm trying to archive a bunch of traces that start with "tel". How would I set up the wildcard string to do this? The "pattern matching
" help file wasn't very clear here. I would think that something like "\\computername\processname\folder\folder\tel*" would work, but it doesn't.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I am not sure why in your case it is not working, I have tried myself in my machine and it does work. In my case I have for example 4 Pots defined in my process being : POT1, POT2, POTE1 and POTE2.
With, Archive Trace Matching this Pattern= "\\computername\Server\Pote?"
Lookout will archive only the traces POTE1 and POTE2, I tried and verified that.
I am attaching here my process file so that you can have it as a reference and maybe you can try the same in your machine.

I hope it helps

Hmm .. no luck, and all I changed was the "From" field. I changed it to my local database path, which is "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Lookout 5.0\database". I hit the button, and no data gets transferred - nothing happens. I am using the latest logos driver, v4.04.00.17.

Does anyone have any ideas? Please help!
