How to reboot a card using TestStand and LabView

[Nerissa]

Our Team uses a TestStand and LabView to run our tests. We have a vi, which telenet to a board/card and reboots it before the start of a test.  However at times the board throws out write error and does not accept "reboot" command. Teststand doesn't proceed in such a case untill the reboot is successful and stays that way untill manual intervention . The only way to reboot the board at this time is to type use a  Ctrl+x combination from the telnet session.  Is is possible to implement this in LabView ?? ( I have tried sending the ASCII equivalent, it doesnt work)

Thank You

Hi Nerissa,

You can use the Internet Toolkit to send your commands through LabVIEW. The following link should help you.

Hi Prashant,

We are using telnet vi , and the telnet write vi . We are able to write any text, in this case "reboot", I'm to figure out how to send Ctrl+x.

Did you do a search for an ASCII table? For the string you are writing, do you have it set to the correct representation?

Have you tried converting your ASCII code from byte to string and then using it, as shown in the picture?

Hi Prashan,

Hi Nerissa,

I was trying to set up a similar thing here so that I could try it, but I ran into a few issues.

You should call NI Support. They should help you out.
