How can you stop a LabVIEW VI from MATLAB script?

Hey!

I was wondering if I could stop a LabVIEW VI through a command/function in MATLAB. I just want to stop the VI at a specific time through my MATLAB code.

I have learned how to run a LabVIEW VI through a command/function in MATLAB from the blog https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/MATLAB-calling-subVi/td-p/906758

Does anybody have an idea?

Hi

I understand that you want to stop the LabVIEW from MATLAB script.

You can use “Abort” function to stop a LabVIEW VI.

Refer the following link to Abort LabVIEW VI.

When i launch a LabView vi from matlab,matlab will wait for the vi to close before it continues so that i cannot stop the vi through matlab script.Do you know how to deal with this problem?
