Triggering an email to be sent

[06Civicsi]

I have been searching the forum for about a week now and havnt come across an explaination for this yet..

I am taking readings from a strain guage. I need the VI to send an email notification when it reaches a certain value. So far I have the VI writing the data to a spreadsheet. If any additional information is needed just let me know.

Thank you in advance,

Blake

Hi,

Have you tried the email functions that come with LabVIEW?

I have looked at the email functions, but dont see anyway to trigger it to send. I have tried to use a comparison function and have an output of true or 1... Just cant seem to figure out how to cause the output to send the email.

Hi,

check the attached VI

The comparison function will certainly work if you use it correctly. Did you place the email function inside a case statement?

The case statement worked. Now I am tinkering with the email settings to get it to send correctly. Thank you for the help!

The hardest part will probably be getting the name of the smtp server from your it department.

Have to agree with the issues about getting the SMTP server from IT, having the program working perfectly from outside/internet access to going to working internally has caused a great deal of stress.
