we developed a program of acquisition of the cosmic rays by using VISUAL BASIC 6 software. Data are directly saved in ROOT file installed on windows.At the end of acquisition we launch the Root program data analysis, to see the histograms and others.
Our problem is the following:
We want that, at the end of acquisition, the program of data analysis starts automatically without human intervention. how can we do that ? where will we intervene? on Windows, Root or visual BASIC ?
Thank for your answer .

you can start ROOT with "root -q -b -x " or other application using: CreateProcessmsdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425.aspx
or Creating a File Associationmsdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969346.aspx (in case you want to associate specific file types with ROOT), and then use Shell functions to open a file (like [b]ShellExecute/b ).
