geting data to/from DOS window

[stevegirard]

I am using IPERF to measure data errors and throughput.

This is done by entering data into a DOS Command window via the keyboard, then physically reading data from the DOS Window.

I would like to have a LabView program to be able to write to this window and read back the reply.

Is there a terminal emulator to send the data? Is there any way to get the text sent into LabView that normally goes to the DOS window?

Any ideas would be appreciated: even willing to pay for a solution.

Not sure how IPERF works but you should be able to use System Exec.vi to send the command and then pull the output from the standard output or standard error terminals.

Hi Steve

Please see the System Exec VI

Refer to the Calling System Exec VI in the labview\examples\comm directory for an example of using the System Exec VI.

Kind Regards
