Hi Everyone,
There are different communication methods in labview as there are
Shared vars, OPC, TCP/IP(STM), CVT Client communication
but my question is :
What client/server communication do you prefer and why?
thanks in advance

It's generally not up to me to have a preference. I have to work with the protocol chosen by the designer of the devices I'm communicating with. When I do have a choice I like VISA for talking to test instuments and TCP/IP for talking to computer-based devices.

For talking between my cRIO and PC, I bounce between Network Steams and TCP/IP (STM). Of cource it depends on exactly what I have to pass between the two systems.

You are right the protocol is usually determined by the customer or by the equipment, but sometimes I get the question, "What do I prefer?"

I never used Network streams, so I will give it a try to compare. thanks
