Hello Raman,

You can programmatically run the CAN BusMonitor program and we have a KB that talks about how to do this.

KB 3GFD05LZ: How to Use the NI-CAN BusMonitor Without Going Through MAX

Hope this answers your question, let us know if not.

Hello Raman,

The System Exec VI can be used to call any command line functions.  This is the same as typing the command into the Run window from your Start Menu.  You can call a variety of programs in this manner.  So instead of the NI-CAN directory, you can replace the string with the location of the Measurement and Automation executable.  In this case you can just replace the command line string with "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX\NIMax.exe".

I hope this helps,
