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 🙂
