Run LabVIEW VIs headless on the machine that owns the hardware, such as a fixture routine, a data-prep VI or a rig health check. You get the VI's console output back.

#What you get

• Run VI — runs a .vi on the device by path and returns its console output.
• No extra install. It uses the LabVIEW CLI that ships with LabVIEW 2018 or later, on Windows or Linux, and finds it on its own.

#Setup

1. Install the connector from the Connectors tab and open its page.
2. Press Test connection. It checks that the CLI is present and runs. If LabVIEW is in a non-standard place, set LabVIEW CLI to the CLI's full path.
3. Ask the agent to run a VI, or call Run VI with the VI's path.

#Notes

• Test connection does not launch LabVIEW, which can be slow and use a licence seat. The first VI run does.
• A failed VI returns the end of its console output, so the error is in the message.
• A VI run stops after 10 minutes. Split longer work, or run it as its own service.
