How to retrieve VI from cRIO 9014

[bsaleem]

Hi Folks,

I have a few cRIO 9014 modules with a number of IO cards at work that no one has used in years. The systems were used as a data acqusition systems for temporary vibration monitoring at our facility. I dont have a copy of the VI.

Is there a way I can recover the VI from the CRIO? I'm wondering if there is a simple command I can use, or if its even possible!  (i'm very new to labview)

Thanks for your help!

Cheers

Hi bsaleem,

Short answer is no.

Long answer: To my knowledge, whatever was deployed to the cRIO was compiled, so it is no longer a VI.  If you need to replicate the exact functionality, you can make a copy of the image on the cRIO using RAD (https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/12/archive-of-the-real-time-application-dep... but you won't be able to make any changes to the code whatsover.

Also worth noting, a lot of of the vibration systems out there use the examples that ship with the Sound and Vibration Suite (https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/product/labview-sound-and-vibration-toolkit.html), so it's very likely the VI used was a minor adjustment from an example.

I hope that helps.
