Is your problem is while running exe, if so is your program works fine in Development Environment?

Hi Andrea,

 

exist a solution?

Yes, of course!

You need to load your config file right after starting the EXE. Then parse it's content and do anything you like to do!

 

General hint: When you want your VI/EXE do something in a certain order you need to program your VI/EXE to do the needed steps in this certain order…

Best regards,
GerdW

I search to explain the problem

First -> read a config file txt

First Row -> Device name (example DEV1)

Second Row-> path of File -> current VI path + File Name

Save this info and send to Main.VI and load the file and the Device.

Second-> Run the main programm

Solution
Accepted by andreabello

have you tried something to do this action?

if yes share the tried code.

if no try to read text file (config file)

https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-13937

 

Once after reading parse your Text which you read from config file (Device name and path File using String Functions)

You can make this as a sub VI.

The output of this VI can be given to your Main VI to do the action.
