Where does labview cache data? Can it be made to cache data on an external drive?

[brendan111]

I'm running labview on a computer with a relatively small internal drive but a large external (USB 3.0) drive.  I understand that I can write a file to the external drive easily, but I'm worried about data caching in the meantime.  If, for example, I acquire 20Gb of data but have only 15Gb remaining on the internal drive, I'll run into trouble before I save the file.  Is there a way to force labview to cache data in a particular location?

Hi brendan,

you can "force" LabVIEW to do anything - it is a programming language!

All you need to do is to program your VI in the way you want it to act…

That being said: what are you talking about, when you write about "caching 20Gb of data"?
