How to turn on automatically the NI I/O Trace at system startup

Hello,

 

I have a station which runs SW on the PCI bus through NI-VISA, and i have a need to be able to turn on the NI I/O Trace as soon as the PC is booted, so it will log everything that goes on the bus as soon as the system runs. There's no human intervention, and the SW starts to run after boot.

 

Is there a "hidden"/"silent" or even "minimized" way to run the NI Trace SW (not just run the SW, but also start automatically the trace) through a script or anything else?

 

Thx

 

Ron

There is LabVIEW I/O Trace API

You can include them in your startup exe before running the NI-VISA code.

thanks, but i don't believe we're using Labview or even have it installed - just the basic NI-VISA to support the communication...

 

anything else?
