Ping with '-t'

[MikeS81]

Hi BooJay,

ok, therefore don´t set the wait til end to false. Use the default value true. Run it with the "-t" option and send the "ctrl+c" command if you need it. After that the system exec function will quit and you get the result in the standard output. Use a parallel running process to send the "ctrl+c" command.

Open a pipe...

Check out OGPipe from the openg library. With these VI's you can open an
executable, and read from and write to it interactivelly.

Of course it is an interesting execise to use system exec for continuous ping, but if you want con continuosly ping a target in LabVIEW, I would recommend one of the following two alternatives instead:

1. raw socket ping
2. .NET ping

I've been using .NET without any problems... and haven't really played with the raw socket version.

Hello altenbach

I'm using LabVIEW 7.1.  and trying to write a vi w/ continuous ping.  I would like to be able to track lost/dropped packages.  When I go to my proberty node .NET folder is empty.  How would I go about getting this?
