fmortel Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hello, I frequently use the SMTP email functions in Labview to send out machine maintenance information from our shop. Recently, some of the computers have been changed to a wireless network connection, which hasn't been the most reliable and stable connection. I'm wondering if there is a way in Labview to test the connection with the network before I try and send out the email. The problem is that I don't get an error if the network is down and the smtp function runs, therefore my program thinks that the email went out, when in fact it didn't. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Phillip Brooks Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 To test the connection with the network before I try and send out the email You can use the System Exec function with a 'ping' command. Search the standard output for a phrase that will let you know that the ping was successful. Attached is using LabVIEW 8.0.1 Download File:post-949-1141923443.vi Quote Link to comment
