Data logging with a cRIO-9022

[bmjohnson]

I have an application running on a cRIO-9022.  It is recording a large amount of data continuously and storing it to a USB drive, it creates a new file every day for each test that it is monitoring.  I was hoping that I would be able to save directly to a network drive and not have to FTP finished files to the network.  So my question is: Does the cRIO/VxWorks support network drive mapping.  If it doesn't, is it possible to modify the VxWorks Kernel so that it will support drive mapping?  If that's not possible, is it possible to get a USB drive that can also be shared over a network connection so a remote computer and the cRIO can both access the drive?

Hi bmjohnson,

I'm pretty sure that it's not possible to map a network drive for VxWorks.  You can stream the data via TCP/Shared Variables and then save the data to the drive?  STM should make the TCP implementation easier to configure.  You could also programmatically FTP the files to the network (Connectivity»Internet»FTP).
