Can I capture old program from last years robot?

[zombieslayer16]

I had formatted our team's netbook with the usb key First had sent, but I forgot to get the labview program off of it. Is there any way I can take last years robot and capture the program?

This has been discussed on here many times (although I'm having trouble getting you the link at the moment). The short answer is no.

You could FTP to the cRIO and get files. But you'd probably have to decompile it, which is not easy.

If all you want to do is transfer it to another CRIO, or to save a copy of it, you should be able to get it using FTP and then put it back on a CRIO, again using FTP.

Unfortunately, if you need the actual source code (to modify it, for example) there is no practical way to recover that information.

Only with Python.

You could get the source files from the cRIO only if they were stored there. It is possible to modify your build spec to include arbitrary data files or source files if you wish, but that isn't the default. This means that the files you would be uploading are the output of the compiler and not your source files.
