recording data

[Greg McKaskle]

As mentioned, LV has rich file I/O support and TDMS is a highly tuned API specifically for this and you can download an Excel plugin. But text and binary files have their purpose too.

One other option is to log on the dashboard computer. If you click the red circle on the bottom right of the dashboard, all network table variables, video, and other DS inputs, will be logged, though by default at 10Hz. Later you can review the data in the dashboard. The code for parsing the file is included, but it is intertwined with network table protocol. Parsing it is clearly possible, but not the same as a text file.
