You can use the SysExec function to control even more 3rd party software like AutoIt to finally manipulate your other 3rd party application…

With the help of SysExec function i am able to call the exe. but i don't know to write serial number and part number on that exe using labview.

Read GerdW's response carefully.  What you really want to run is not your LabVIEW Executable, but a program such as "AutoIT" (use GerdW's link, or simply do a Web Search for "AutoIT") which provides you with a method to allow, say, a LabVIEW program to "Fill in the blanks" and "push buttons" on a third Executable (here, the LabVIEW program you want to "control").

I had a student who did this -- I'd never heard of AutoIT until he told me about it.  I'm pleased to say he got his PhD ...
