Hi!
I am using a PXI-8196 RT.
By executing a VI on the RT target, is it possible to get a file(.csv file) from its Host PC?
I know that on a Host, I can transfer files back and forth through FTP by MAX, IE, and command prompt to a target. I could also use internet toolkit VIs.
But is there anyway that from VI on a RT target, make transferring files on its host?
System Execute.VI can not be used in a RT, also Internet took kit VIs(FTP vis) seem not to be usable on a RT.
Can some one show me sample VIs?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments! I have looked into your question and I am wondering if you have looked into using a TCP connection between your Real-Time target and your host computer. This may be the best option to send files programmatically from your Real-Time Controller to your host computer. Here is a tutorial from our Developers Zone that discusses this option. Also, I would recommend looking in the Example Finder within LabVIEW as there are some good TCP examples there. The examples can be found under Networking folder and then TCP & UDP. If you have any further questions please just post them here.
