Redirecting Standard Input/Output for LabWindows/CVI Executables

Primary Software: LabWindows/CVI Development Systems>>Full Development System
Primary Software Version: 8.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have created a LabWindows/CVI executable that contains standard Input/Output (I/O) commands such as printf(). I am calling this executable from the Windows command prompt and would like the output to be redirected to the Windows console instead of the LabWindows/CVI console. Is this possible?

Solution:
Yes, the ability to redirect standard I/O is possible.

By default, LabWindows/CVI uses its own console for standard I/O commands. To redirect the commands, open your LabWindows/CVI project, select Build » Target Settings, and enable the Create console application option. If you disable this option, LabWindows/CVI creates your executable as a Windows GUI application. If you enable this option, LabWindows/CVI creates your executable as a console application. Console applications create a Windows console window (Command Prompt or MS-DOS Prompt) and set the standard I/O port to the console.

Rebuild your LabWindows/CVI executable, call it from the Windows command prompt and notice the redirection of the standard I/O commands.
