Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get my LabView application to run at grammatically at certain time via LabView. Is there any way/ utility that opens labView .exe and runs it automatically at certain time?
I know how to do it by adding the .exe to Windows schedules, but I am looking if there's a way to it via labView.
Thanks

When you want to do that using a LabVIEW routine: Write a VI, which waits for a certain timestamp. Then use SystemExec to call your other "LabVIEW made exe"…
Why don't you use the Windows-scheduler for that purpose? It's made just for such requirements! (And some others, too.)

This is fascinating. I had never thought of using grammar to open files (is that a Jedi trick?).

You can use LV to run System Exec and program the scheduler.

If you want to be grammatically correct, you should also spell it LabVIEW. 😄 (note the lettercase).
