Linking an executable inside LabView

[Bonhomme]

Hi there,
I have a small DOS-based executable program that I want to use inside one of my LabView programs. To do this, I'm attempting to use a Code Interface Node or a Call Libaray Function. However, it seems as if both of these require the source code (that I do not have). Is there a way to do this then? Just link the executable? Thanks.

It sounds like you just want to run the DOS program as if you were running it from the DOS prompt.

Try using System Exec.vi located on your Communications function palette to call DOS program. You'll need to format the DOS command to execute the program.

Hope that helps.

Perfect answer. Thanks. It worked like a charm.
