Publish or Consume Data Locally (Legacy)

Use the NI Web Server Configuration installed with FlexLogger to exchange test data locally between FlexLogger and Python or LabVIEW.

Before you begin, create and configure a FlexLogger project.
  1. From the Windows Start menu, launch the NI Web Server Configuration.
  2. Select Simple local access and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
  3. In the Applications tab of the NI Web Server Configuration window, click the NI SystemLink URL to open the SystemLink web application.
  4. In your configured FlexLogger project, navigate to Project » Settings.
  5. Select Local from the SystemLink deployment drop-down menu.
  6. To publish data, enable Publish all channels as tags while project is open.
  7. To consume data, enable Import user-defined tags.
  8. Click OK.
The FlexLogger toolbar shows the connection status between FlexLogger and SystemLink. You can see your published channels from the Tags window of the SystemLink web application.
You can exchange data between FlexLogger and Python or FlexLogger and LabVIEW. For Python, refer to the NI FlexLogger SystemLink Integration for Python Readme on GitHub to learn about, download, and run the Python examples. For LabVIEW, refer to Exchanging Data with LabVIEW for more information.
