Hi,
I am trying to link Labview with another simulation software. I need
to know how to call the other software in Labview and then make the
software to run some simulations and finally get the data from that
software back to Labview and then use that data in the Labview to
control the hard ware
The first thing to do is to read the manual called Using External
Code in LabVIEW. You can get to it by going to the help menu and
selecting Search th LabVIEW Bookshelf. There is a function on the
Advanced palette called Call library Node. This is used for calling a
DLL. Reading the manual is the
In addition, read up on shared memory in a dll. Since there will be two processes
running the dll ( yours and thiers ), two copies
of the dll will be loaded. There are a few ways to tranfer data back and forth. Shared
mem, file mapping and good old disk file
storage.
Have fun
