I've just finished an application on my development system that needs
to be ported over to our PXI system. The program requires a
control input file (.txt format), which I've placed on the C: directory
on the PXI system (C:\TestData\Input). The first thing the
program does is it fetches the control input and parses through the
data file to store it in an array. I'm able to get the VI
downloaded to the PXI, but when I run it, the control input file
apparently cannot be found because I have "Not A Path" returned, and
the program stops - which is what it is supposed to do when the file is
not there.
I'm deploying as well as running this through my development system,
making sure I switch to the RT system. The PXI chassis is
networked, so anything I do should reference the PXI local
directory. I'm thinking that, since this is controlled via the
network, I really don't have direct access to the C: directory on the
PXI system. I tried substituting the IP address of the PXI
chassis in my VI, but either I didn't do it right or it's not
recognized. Since the VI is existing on the PXI system, I would
think that it would have access to the C: directory since that would be
within local directory scope.
Any ideas? By the way - I'm running LabVIEW 7.1, LabVIEW RT,
Windwows XP. The controller is a PXI-8187 and the DAQ hardware is
a PXI-6220.
Thanks in advance!
