How to save the files to a USB memory plugged into the EVS-1463RT

[ygno]

I am trying to collect images with EVS-1463RT by running a vi. The EVS has LV Real Time v13.0.1 installed. The vi runs well and save images to a folder ('C:\Images\') in the development PC. But, when I deploy the vi to EVS-1463RT, the vi cannot find the directory and nothing is saved in the folder. I am considering to save the files to a USB drive connected to a port on the EVS. Would it be possible to save the image files to a USB memory plugged into the EVS-1463RT? If so, what would be the file path to the USB connector?

Good question.  I use a FTP server to collect images.  At first I didn't have a dedicated server so I had to configure my laptop for this purpose.  It would be good to store the images on a USB stick as you suggest.  Also, it wouild be good to store inspection variables to it as well.

I considered the option of saving the files with FTP. But, I thought it would be faster to save the files to a memory directly connected to. I may be wrong. Hopefully, someone can help me solve the issue . . .

If you install something called "USB Storage Support" (not sure the exact name) to your target. Then your USB key should show up as "U:" on the target.

Thanks for the information.

Then, the problem becomes where I get this "USB Storage Support". Search in the NI site doesn't tell me much other than something related to LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite. Is that what I need? I am not sure if I have it. If it is not easily available, another option can be using a CompactFlash card as long as I know the file path to use. Thanks.

The item that shows up in MAX to install to your target is called "USB Support". It should be in the big list of software you can install.

I can't recall how the CompactFlash works on that device. It may be that when using that drive it replaces the default internal drive with that.
