Raptor:Display USB Status
Return to the main Raptor page
Description
This block shows desired information about a USB. The user can indicate what will be shown by selecting various parameters.
It is important to utilize the outputs of this block to ensure that the USB storage device is in a "ready to log" state before opening or writing to a log file, and to ensure that the USB storage device is ready to eject before physically removing the device.
Note: Ensure that the USB storage device is ejected using a USB Eject block before physically removing the device. Removing the device without ejecting it can result in all data written to the log file since the last successful sync operation being lost.
Note: Simulink String blocks are not compatible with Raptor blocks. Please use Raptor String blocks.
