Help with tcl script with labview

[randyram]

I am trying to run a program using tcl script via labview.

Currently I am using wish80 tcl to run it. And it works fine.

I tried using example I found on NI website called Run Tcl Script.vi

I will attach the vi and the tcl file. Hope someone will have a idea what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

please change the testpairs2.txt to testpairs2.tcl as it is not letting me attach as tcl.

Hi randyram,

try the referenced labview example with your parameters. I guess there are some changes on the OS. (actual OS with LV6.1 to XP) 🙂

LabView Online Help:

"Refer to the Calling System Exec VI in the labview\examples\comm directory for an example of using the System Exec VI."

Thanks Mike. I just got the run tcl to work. I figure what was wrong. I calling the wrong program. I was suppose to call wish80.exe.

Once I changed that, it started to run the script. But kinda slow. I will see into why.

Thanks again.
