    Hi,

    I am not quite sure what you mean by a "LabView8.2 EXE", but you can call any executable as a pre- or post-build step from the Project Build Options (right-click on the project --> Build Properties --> tab Build Steps).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Hi Rafeal,

    Many thanks for the reply.Was anxiously waiting for the replies.

     

    Let me elaborate on the requirement. I have an *.exe written in LabView to control an equipment. I have code in MSP430FG4618 which programs the DUT using SPI protocol.As soon as the DUT is programmed i would like to call the *.exe written in the Labview  to control the equipment and record the observations in a file.

    I want to call the *.exe in the middle of the code written in CCSV4.2.1. Is it possible?If so,hwhats the syntax in which it has to be included in the code..?

    By the way,i clicked onthe project Menu to see whether i can access the tabs that you have mentioned.I could not find the tabs that you have listed in the reply.

    Build Properties tab and subsequently Build Steps are not showing up in the Project Menu.

    Standard C libraries have an API called system(), which opens an operating system shell (command line) that allows performing any operations. However this API is not implemented in our runtime support libraries since we have no operating system running on the device.

    Unfortunately I could not find any other way to execute code on the target. By using breakpoints, though, you can write or read data to files in the host PC. This could help perform any post-processing routine using Labview, Matlab and others. Check the section Debugging Projects of the CCSv4 Getting Started Guide for details on how to set Breakpoint properties.

    You have to right-click on the project name listed in the C/C++ Projects view. If you make your project active, you can go to menu Project --> Properties --> select C/C++ Build in the left tree --> select the tab Build Steps.

    Hope this helps,
