LabVIEW cannot open and run .cpp files. You can call an exe file with the System Exec function but the amount of control depends on how you wrote the program. Does it accept command line parameters? How does it return data? If you included ActiveX support then you can access your properties and methods. You could also create a DLL instead of an exe and use the Call Library Node function.
Also, I'm curious why the instrument is only controllable by c++. What is the instrument and have you tried to find a LabVIEW driver?

Thank you very much for quick reply.
The instrument is a Tuner which I have only the cpp commands to control it. I have written the program and I have a Vector Network Analyzer too which is controlled by LabVIEW, so I want to control the tuner and VNA with LabVIEW.
You told me about ActiveX and DLL, please tell me how can I use ActiveX or DLL. Do I have to compile the cpp file into a DLL file? and then how LabVIEW accepts DLL. Thanks again.
