CompactFlash memory in cRIO systems

[Kjell-E]

Okay, forgive me for asking such a basic question, but how do I access the CompactFlash memory in my cRIO?

The read from memory and write to memory vi's I found in my pallette when I have my cRIO chosen as the target, is only for the FPGA memory...

I have tried to do some searches both on the forum (using advanced searches) and on NI, but I guess my queries are not good enough today, because I came up with a ton of stuff not related to what I was looking for.

So, any pointers or tips would be great!

I guess that the CompactFlash memory only is availble when you are writing your application in LabVIEW RT.

Hello Kjell!

In what respect do you want to access the memory? When you are running your VI on the real time target the memory is accessed in the same way as if it were used in windows. If you want to access that to view the file system you can ftp to the target by simply doing ftp://ip address in your internet explorer browser. Let me know if you need more details and have a great day!!

Ahh! Yes. I was mixing up the FPGA VI and the RT VI.. It took me a little while before I realised the important difference there.

Thanks for the help, it all makes much more sense now!!
