Navigating to Multiple URLs Using LabVIEW From Desired Browser

Issue Details

I would like to open multiple URLs in different tabs in the same browser window using my preferred browser. How can I achieve this?

Solution

You can use System Exec.vi or Open URL in Default Browser.vi to open a URL as explained in this article.
The Open URL in Default Browser.vi uses the browser set as default in your system, but you can access any other browser installed in your computer using System Exec.vi.

To open multiple URLs on different tabs of the same browser window, you need to pass an array of string containing the URLs to the System Exec.vi or the Open URL in Default Browser.vi as describe on the below program. In this sample program, in addition to the URL links,  System Exec.vi uses the path of the browser application on your computer.
(You can download the sample program from the attached files)
