Each time a VI runs, front panel datalogging saves the front panel data to a separate datalog file, which is in the format of delimited text. You can retrieve the data in the following ways:

• Use the same VI from which you recorded the data to retrieve the data interactively.
• Use the VI as a subVI to retrieve the data programmatically.

Each VI maintains a log-file binding that records the location of the datalog file where LabVIEW maintains the logged front panel data. Log-file binding is the association between a VI and the datalog file to which you log the VI data.

Note  LabVIEW does not support front panel datalogging through remote panels.
