Why do we use "open URL in default browser" function?  What are the uses of it?

[Dennis_Knutson]

To view a web page. What is confusing?

[kdm7]

Is the default browser the front panel?

Hi kdm7,

This VI will open URL you specify in your default browser.

For example, you specify URL as www.ni.com and your default web browser is internet explorer.

Once you run the VI, It will open internet explorer and access www.ni.com.

Okay.

So can we keep a web button to access the www.ni.com ? So that web site opens only when button pressed?

P.S  I,m a newbie.

You can open any web site you want.

Hi Kdm7,

Yes you can create your own logic to do that. You might interest in case structure or event structure.

Below are some links for you to look through

Yes, you can also, e.g. include a help file or manual as html and open that in the browser.
