Hello everyone
I have found several example of using the System Exec VI to execute a command from Labview. But is there a technique to run a executable within a window inside Labview that is also interactive with user input.
I have a serial data logging program that is collecting data for me over a RS232 connection. The data log works great but I would like to run this somehow embedded inside labview. The datalogger appears to be a batch run that runs a Java file. I don't have too much control over the data logger as it was provided by the manufacturer. I thought about contacting the manufacturer to ask about the serial interface to see if I decode inside labview but really I just want to run and show the data logger inside my existing VI.
Any suggestions or tips on fix? When the data logger starts, the user needs to click on connect and start recording.
Thanks
Thomas
