Recover Project Or Code fro myRIO

[ipatfst_pt]

Hello! 

First stating that I am quite new to the LABVIEW ecosystem, any advice is apreciated.

I have a myRIO running as a A/D converter - all is fine. 

Unfortunatly i managed to loose the project files and want to check a parameter for the PMW part of the code.

Is there a way to use LABVIEW to read out and recover the code from the myRIO so that i can get to the information? 

Thanks in advance!

No backup? No SCC tool? Nothing?

Kein Backup, kein Mitleid! 😉

No! Normally when you build a Realtime application and deploy it to the RIO, what happens is that all the diagrams get stripped in the process of building the realtime executable. Only the executable itself is copied to the target.

If you choose to build a debug build, there are still diagrams in the built executable but it's not very trivial to get at them. The project itself NEVER gets moved to the target so that is definitely and ultimately lost if you don't have some backup of your entire project.

And yes, there are things like Version Control software that help to prevent exactly the problem you are in now. A simple backup application can help too, but isn't as convenient as Version Control.

Unfortunately the files did not survive the developer leaving and the organization getting restructured.
