Note: The FlexLogger Readme included on the installer incorrectly lists support for CAN output. CAN output is not supported in FlexLogger 2019 R1 .
The following lists detail the hardware models supported in FlexLogger.
Note: FlexLogger supports synchronization between TSN-enabled CompactDAQ chassis (cDAQ-9185 and cDAQ-9189) provided they are a part of your local 802.1AS subnet. Refer to your chassis documentation, available on ni.com/manuals, for more information.
Note: FlexLogger does not support pull-up resistor functionality. To enable pull-up resistor functionality, you will need to install an external pull-up resistor on the line.
Note: 5 V differential (TTL) and single-ended (RSE) 24 V input are supported. For RSE input, however, FlexLogger does not support changing the input voltage threshold and uses the default level of 2.5 V.
Note: The NI 9375 must have all lines set to input or to output in a project.
Note: You cannot use parallel and serial modules together on the same FlexLogger project unless they are installed in separate cDAQ chassis.
Note: FlexLogger only supports the TRC-8542 and TRC-8543 transceiver cables.
Note: External powered sensor configuration for the FD-11601 cannot be performed in FlexLogger. To configure these settings in MAX, click Show in MAX on the FD-11601 in your FlexLogger Channel Specification.
Note: FlexLogger supports synchronization between TSN-enabled FieldDAQ devices provided they are a part of your local 802.1AS subnet. Refer to your device documentation, available on ni.com/manuals, for more information.
Refer to the FlexLogger Manual, accessible from Help»Online manual, for more information about using FlexLogger.
