How to start more than one program automatically? [RT]

[Christoph_Noack]

Normally you can build an application and let it start automatically on the PXI system. You have to put the file into c:\ni-rt\startup\

But how to start more than one application in a pre-defined sequence? Depending on the situation there are several programs to be started that run simultaneously.

I searched for help in the Development Library and the Forums but I didn't find an answer.

Thank you very much for your helpin advance! Have a nice day!

Hi Christoph,

You can use VI Server on the real-time target to launch other VIs dynamically. Your startup executable could be a simple application that uses VI Server to start other VIs that run in parallel in a pre-defined sequence.

Here's an example that does something similiar.

Note that when you build the VI into an application, you must include all the VIs that are called by VI Server as dynamic VIs in the application builder.
