Overview

This VI calls the command line from within LabVIEW to execute the ping command.

Description

This VI uses the system exec.vi to ping a selected pc, ip, or url. The VI concatenates the string of ping and then the user-defined text to do the same thing as using the command prompt. The output appears on an indicator on the front panel and has the same information as what appears in the prompt.

Software:

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Input the item you want to ping. (IP, computer or URL)

2. Run the VI.
