Does the SPEEDY-33 Support File I/O?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>LabVIEW DSP Module
Primary Software Version: 2.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Professional Development System

Problem:
I would like to acquire data and store it to the nonvolatile memory of the SPEEDY-33.  Unfortunately there does not seem to be any File I/O VIs when I target my SPEEDY-33.  Does the SPEEDY-33 support File I/O?

Solution:
The SPEEDY-33 does NOT support File I/O.  The reason is because the hardware onboard the SPEEDY-33 is the Texas Instruments™ TMS320VC33 DSP chip and not a microcontroller.  The primary function of DSP chips is to stream processed data at a high rate, rather than storing data on the limited nonvolatile memory which can be rather slow.
