Good work.
Depending on what you're logging, you might find logging user events in 'System Viewer' (open Workbench Help and search for it) a better and more efficient way. You can log arbitrary data (binary and string) which will be automatically time-stamped. While I'm sure you are, and you should be, proud of this break-through, the sub-microsecond resolution time stamps of System Viewer events could prove invaluable to whatever post-match analysis you're contemplating. OTOH, using System Viewer *without* being connected to the cRio in debug mode is admittedly a fair bit of programming work.

Also got access to the cRIO's console via hyperterminal and through Windriver Workbench as well (not at the same time  ).

The terminal in Workbench is okay.
HyperTerminal is the worst software I've ever used.
Try TeraTerm -- it's a brilliantly well behaved tool and it (easily and reliably) logs to files on the host file system.
