Week4 Narrative
Being tasked with figuring out how LabVIEW can run executable files, I did a quick google search and found a program in LabVIEW called System Exec VI. I put it on my Block Diagram and saw it had eleven wiring ports, with few descriptions of what any of them were for. I looked through the example for it and managed to copy it enough to make it run Notepad, as shown below. My first try I ended up opening Notepad continuously until I managed to stop the program. I figured out I needed to either replace the while loop with a for loop, to make it run just once, or make the boolean indicator at the top true so it would wait for the program to finish before executing the file. After getting Notepad to work, I decided to try to run other files. I started on iTunes, and got an error message. Then I tried Mozilla Firefox, and got the same error as shown below. I still can't figure out what the exact memory problem is, whether it's with LabVIEW not being able to do so much at once, or if it's just my really bad computer. Initially it looks like it is LabVIEW's fault, and that it cannot "allocate a contiguous block of memory large enough", but there is no helpful solution to this problem that National Instruments can present me with.

I moved the above here to week 4 .. which is what you will finish over the weekend ... none of you links above are working ... --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 18:33, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

However, that is all I've been able to do. The output from the VI can't seem to successfully wire into anything else that would further my task. Trying to get it to wire to a boolean indicator fails. I can make it display a number of the wave- it's amplitude, frequency, etc., but cannot yet figure out how to make that number do anything useful. Again, is too wordy. See my edit of Dom's page. Try to put in that format. Describe the problems you have solved and the anticipated next steps. 10/10/30 --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
