Hyper terminal Launching from labview

[SajK]

Hi all,

I have a special application where I need to launch Hyper terminal from a LabVIEW program.

Hyper terminal window shall be then used for serial and telnet communication.

Is it possible from LabVIEW? Can any body suggest?

What are the functions to be used?

Regards

SajK,

thats not a problem. Use "SystemExec.vi" and feed the complete path to hyperterminal into the 'command line' input. In my system (XP Pro SP2), this is "C:\Programme\Windows NT\hypertrm.exe". You can detect the path on your system by finding the link to hyperterminal in the <All Users>/Startmenu/Programs/Tools/Communication path. Or search for "Hypertrm.exe" on all local harddisks

"SystemExec.vi"  provides an input to determine whether the started process runs independently or not (e.g. if LabVIEW waits on completion of Hyperterminal).
Hope this helps!
