This article provides a sample project demonstrating one method for writing desired data record values to disk. The data record is a "snapshot" of the controller's state which can be dispatched at a user-defined interval. This utility allows the user to select the information of interest, the desired sample rate, and a CSV formatted file to save the data. With this method, only the host PC’s hard drive is the limiting factor for the amount of data that can be stored.
Concepts
- Asynchronous data from the controller
- Event-driven programming from the GalilTools Communication Library
Details/Special Instructions
- VB 2010 Express, Forms App
- GalilTools 1.6.0.460
- Install GalilTools before using Demo (This installs and registers the Galil COM component)
- Controller to be used must support the "DR" data record mode
- Minimum sample rate depends on the hardware used. See the DR command in the controller command reference for more information.
