Moving a Large Log File off a RT Target

[zackbass]

I'm getting started with my first big project with LabView 8.6, controlling a robot arm with a realtime target desktop computer. The main control loop runs at 1kHz and I record the state of the system, 5 Doubles, at each time step to a big 2D array. After a normal run of the machine this log gets to be 5 to 50MB. I've been using normal shared variables to communicate between the host and target over the network but I don't think is a very good plan for transmitting the huge log array back to the host to do further processing on.

Ideally I'd like to load this variable onto the host machine over the network at the request of the host. Is there a simple way to do this? I'm sorry if I'm asking an elementary question, I've looked through the documentation and help online the best I can and haven't found anything directly applicable.

You could save it to a file, then FTP it from the RT target to the host.

Thanks, that would even allow me to automate the process from the MATLAB script that does the post processing.

No worries - any time.
