Loading FlexLogger Plug-ins from Custom Locations

Configure FlexLogger to load plug-ins from locations outside of the default directory.

By default, FlexLogger loads plug-ins from %public%\Documents\National Instruments\FlexLogger\Plugins\IOPlugins. Complete the following steps to load plug-ins from additional, custom locations.
  1. Using a text editor, create a file that specifies additional plug-in locations using the following JSON format.

    {"AdditionalPluginPaths":["C:\\Users\\<username>\\Documents\\Flex LoggerProjects\\","<another absolute path>"]}

  2. Save the file in the root directory of %public%\Documents\National Instruments\FlexLogger\Plugins\IOPlugins. FlexLogger does not have specific requirements for the file name.
  3. Change the file extension from .txt to .config.
  4. Re-launch FlexLogger.
The plug-ins you saved in the custom file locations are visible when you select Add channels » Plug-in in the Channel Specification toolbar.
