error code 1430 when I run an labview exe from a script

[BharathMT]

Hello,

I am running labview exe from a perl script. I am actually measuing the signal measurements from the oscilloscope and then writing that data into an excel sheet. Using the perl script I am getting the directory for creating the excel sheet and write down the measurements. When I run the script and the application is called I get an error saying Error 1430,Open/Create/replace file . Write to spread sheet.vi and Possible reason 

Error 1430: The path is empty or relative. You must use an absolute path.

Can anyone help me get an understanding of this error.

Thanks

Hi Bharath,

Here a little information about the error code:

Some things to wonder, how are you assigning (or creating) the path to the excel file you're creating in LabVIEW?

Hello,

I have tested my labview module independently using the path and excel sheet name, it works fine and I get the output as needed. But after I have build the exe and then calling the labview module from the script with the input arguments fed in to the .exe file I get this error 1430. I was wondering if it was a build issue of not specifying the location??

Thanks

Bharath,

How are you defining into the LabVIEW code the terminals of the OpenCreateReplace function? have you checked this?

Bharath,

Check the link of my last email and see the 

File path section: file path (use dialog) is the absolute path to the file. If you do not wire file path (use dialog), the function displays a dialog box from which you can select a file. If you specify an empty or relative path, this function returns an error.

Here something you could use to connect to that terminal.
