time out email

[karthikj85]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to send an automated email/ SMS on completion/interruption of

a Labview program I am running.

I found a few resources in the forums,but no comprehensive tutorial for someone not very familiar with stuff like SMTP.

Is there some info on how to go about doing that?

Cheers,

Sam

I don't know what SMS is.  But you can send e-mails from LabVIEW.  If you use example finder and search for "e-mail", you'll find an example.

The LabVIEW e-mail functions require you to know what the smtp address is for your server, and also that you can access it without loggin into it.  Basically that it openly takes e-mails.
