Problem: I am trying to save a file on my real-time target and need to know what directory to specify for saving the file. What directory do I save the file on to make sure it is saved on the real-time target? Solution: Real-time targets use drive letters just like a desktop computer. To access a file with the memory of the real-time target, the path would begin with the C:\ like on your personal computer. The picture below shows how to save a text file in the root directory of the target’s memory. ![]() Note: In order to check to make sure the file was saved in the desired place, you can FTP into the target and find the file in the directory.
