Is it possible to send strings to the console from LabVIEW? Now that we have a monitor connection, sending strings to the console is a quick and easy debug technique.I tried using the System Exec.vi with the echo command, but it did not work.

Maybe I'm missing something, but have you tried calling printf? It works great for me.

how to "printf" from LabVIEW to console

Solved!

@biigbigsong, This forum post is discussing the use of printf on a NI Linux RT target, that has a monitor attached. In Linux the file path is a valid parameter as everything is treated as a file.
