RT Create Target Disk Image VI

Owning Palette: RT Utilities VIs

Requires: RT Module

Copies the contents of the primary hard drive on the RT target to the local folder you specify using the image file path input.

If the file you specify in image file path already exists, this VI overwrites the existing file only if allow overwrite? is TRUE. If the folder you specify in image file path does not exist, this VI returns an error.

Details  

	target address specifies the IP address or DNS name of the target.
	image file path specifies the name and location of the RT target disk image on the local computer. To ensure compatibility, National Instruments recommends that you use a file name with a .zip extension.
	allow overwrite? specifies whether this VI can overwrite an existing file at the specified image file path. If allow overwrite? is TRUE, this VI overwrites the contents of image file path. If allow overwrite? is FALSE and image file path already exists on the local computer, this VI returns an error.
	error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	file blacklist specifies an array of file paths to exclude from the target image. To enable filtering through regular expressions, the data type of this control is an array of strings rather than an array of paths.
	target address out returns the same address as target address.
	image file path out returns the same path as image path.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
