Convert BMP to XBM format

Hello Friends, 

 

I am trying to convert a BMP file created in labview to XBM format for use in an e-paper display. Does anyone have a suggested strategy for this goal?

 

Best Regards, 

Matt

Find a program that will do this for you and has a command line interface. Call that program using system exec

Thanks for the additional info! As a follow up question, I am using the system exec VI and passing the following argurments into the "command line" input:

 

 C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.1-Q16\convert.exe test.bmp test.xbm

 

It returns error code 4. For this project, I am trying to convert a bmp file (created in the vi) to a xbm file using ImageMagick's convert function. Iam on a windows 10 64bit system. Thanks for any additional info you can provide.

Ok, 

 

So I FINALLY cracked ths nut for anyone interested. I created a batch file in notepad, pasted my imagemagick convert commands, and saved it as testbat.bat.   I then called the batch file from the command line VI using

cmd /c testbat.bat

 

And that did it for me 🙂
