We have a situation where we power-up our test rack (including the PC that runs the show), and before the user brings up the TestStand HMI and loads/runs a sequence, we'd like to auto-run an exe that places all test equipment/ I/O cards in a benign state. Although this sounds like something you'd normally do in Setup, we want to do this as indicated because of a hot-swap capability available. Anyway, since we (for the most part) have the individual VIs that talk to specific instruments/cards, I'd like to put them together into a sequence-like container and build an exe that steps through each VI in the specified order. We may want to display a small HMI that gives the user some insight as to what's going on. In the past, I've placed .bat files (that call various .exe files) in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder, so as to autorun. I want to do a similar thing here, but there are other considerations this time. What if I used the LabVIEW Build Application, created a number of mini-EXEs, and called them sequentially within this .bat file. Any suggestions as to how I'd autorun a sequence of VIs in the manner described above.
