Hi Gavin,
By default STDIN and STDOUT have no meaning for a GUI based application (process to be exact...) like LabVIEW. But you can create one for a process does not have this. A use-case would be to output debug information. There is no Native LabVIEW way to do this (as far as I know). The System Exec.vi just executes a process on system level that could have a Console.
I have been using the following VIs that call the Win32 API to create a Console Window for the LabVIEW Process and write to it. I primary use it for debug output so I did not look into reading from the Console.
