Overview

This example demonstrates determining the length of time in seconds an application takes to run.

 

Description

Two timestamps are taken, one before the application is run and one after. The difference of these two values is the amount of time the application took to run. The System Exec VI is used so that any application that can be run from the command line can be monitored with this VI. This example can also be modified to measure the amount of time different pieces of code takes to run.

 

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Run the VI.
2. Look within the computer the executable you would like to run.
3. Select the Start Program Button.
