Communication between two Labview applications

[Siddharth D]

Hi,

        I would like to know if there is any way to pass parameters between two Labview built Applications.

I have two Labview Applications : the first one should be able to pass a paramter( in this case it is a file path)  to the other application.

I am using LabVIEW 8.2. 

Please can somebody help me reslove this issue.

Thanks

Siddarth,

you can use one of the following techniques:

- Shared Variables (Network Published)

- DataSocket

- TCP/UDP communication

- File I/O

- ActiveX (Use one application as server, only available in Windows)

hope this helps,

Hi there

there are several ways to solve this, depending of what you wnt to do:

- You can pass data by shared configuration files (that's the easiest way) (preffered for simple, static data)

- You can use some server/client technologies, like UDP, TCP, DataSocket, Shared Variables (preferred for dynamic online data)

- You can use VI-Server to have access to control values of LV applications (preffered for remote control of applications)

if it is just a simple static path, i'd choss the first method.
