Plot in Mathematica

Question

hello,
I was thinking of a way to run a Mathematica code from labview. The code is a simple ListPlot or Plot3d in mathematica. 
Right now , I can open a mathematica notebook via LV ( using System Exec.vi ) and then have to insert the file path ( as shown in the code snippet below ) and then execute it. 
What I want - Since I already know the path where the file is saved in LV, I can put that file path automatically to this code and just by click of a button , lets call " Plot in Mathematica " . I can get a plot.
Is there a way to do this. 
test = Import["C:\\Users\\Raman\\Desktop\\XXXXXXX.csv"];
Z = Partition[Map[Last, test], Sqrt[Length[test]]]; ListDensityPlot[Z,
PlotRange -> All, ColorFunction -> GrayLevel, Mesh -> False,
PlotRange -> All]
 Best,
Abhi

Unless you can pass in parameters when you launch your workbook such that that they allow you to input the lines of code and run the code, you won’t be able to do what you are trying to do with System Exec.Basically, if Mathematica gives you the ability to do what you want in command prompt then chances are you will be able to do that with System Exec.
Some programs have an ActiveX server (Ex. Word and Excel). Using the properties and methods available with the server you can make changes to the document. If Mathematica has an ActiveX sever you might be able use it to accomplish what you are trying to do. However, you will have to know which methods and properties are available and how to use them.
There is a third party software which allows you to use Matemataica from within LabVIEW. For more information, take a look at this.
