Yes, you can achieve this behavior by customizing the command line input of the System Exec VI as follows:
- Original command line input: <myDOSCommand>
Customized command line input:
cmd /K <myDOSCommand>
- Wire a False constant to the "wait until completion?" input of the System Exec VI.
The
cmd /K will open a command prompt window with the option to keep the window open after execution.
Note: You may have to substitute cmd above with command.
