Description:

This VI demonstrates how to use the System Exec.vi to gather the information commonly obtained through a command prompt in Windows. A user has the ability to type cmd into a run window and bring up a command prompt. Within this DOS environment, the user can use the command ipconfig to return information about their computers  IP configuration. This VI allows the user to return this information to LabVIEW where it can be parsed and used as needed.
