embedded data logger fills hard drive

[raphael.wittwer]

Dear forum

the embedded data logger just filled up the harddrive of my PharLap System running on a PXI. I only noticed because the system refused to deploy and start when the drive was eventually full.

Is there a way to configure the logger to delete old data?

Thanks, Raphael

Hi Raphael,

the dataloggers purpose is to log data on your VeriStand target as long as no host system is connected. So the logging is supposed to be a temporary data storage on the controller that should be removed from the controller when you establish the connection to the host again.

So if you want to simply delete the data files you created before, you can do so browsing to the controller and deleting the files manually or writing a custom device to do that. However there is no built-in functionality doing that.

Best,

Melanie
