How can I send a warning email when a flag is triggered in LabVIEW? For example, when a certain temperature is too high, I would like to send an alert e-mail message to my technical staff. Can this be done using LabVIEW? Thank you.

There several ways of doing it.

First using the email VIs of internet Toolkit for LabVIEW.
http://www.ni.com/support/labview/toolkits/internet/smtp.htm
Those VIs are simple to use and can send emails.

The second method would be to have labview, make other email applications such as Microsoft Outlook send emails using ActiveX calls.
Hope this would help

You can get some simple mail programs off the net sendmail is one . You can
then assuming you know your network mail host. do a a dos command line using
the exec function sendmail recipeint subject message host . The mail host
would send the message. Depends on lots of things being in you favour I
admit.
Regards
