How to execute a .bat file in labview?

To execute a .bat file in LabVIEW, you can use the System Exec.vi function. Here are some simple steps to do so:

1. Open LabVIEW and create a new VI.
2. In the Block Diagram, right-click and select “Functions Palette”, then search for “System Exec.vi” in the search box.
3. Drag and drop the System Exec.vi onto the Block Diagram.
4. Right-click on the input port of System Exec.vi and select “Create Constant”.
5. Enter the complete path of the .bat file you want to execute in the pop-up dialog box.
6. Connect the output port of System Exec.vi to a “Wait Until Done” function to ensure that the LabVIEW program continues executing the other parts only after the .bat file has finished executing.
7. Run your LabVIEW program, which will execute the .bat file you have specified.

Please note that running a .bat file may require administrative privileges, so make sure you have enough permission to run this file.
