Transfer data from cDAQ 9132 to laptop

[Syrine]

Hi folks,

I need to retrieve some data from a test bench that uses cDAQ-9132 and send them to another computer in order to save them along with other information. Does a USB work or could there be any other way to get it.

Thank you in advance.

If you have the FTP software installed on your controller you can use that, but otherwise WebDav should be installed with just about anything and allows for you to map a network drive to your controller and then files can be manipulated in Windows Explorer.

Hi Hooovahh,

thank you for your answer, I read the article in the link you provided and I have a couple of questions:

1- the data i want to retrieve is not saved into file, is it possible to get cluster indicator?

2-  I can provide the IP address of the c-DAQ right?

Yes the IP is all that is needed to identify it.  As for getting other data, checkout the various recommended communication methods described by NI.

You can of course do something low level like TCP or UDP with your own flattening/unflattening but it's a lot of work with little pay off.  Just use one of NI's APIs.  I generally stick with Network Streams but it can have issues.  Examples of all of these can be found in Help >> Find Examples.
