Connect with Origin

[DAK_Trap]

I am trying to see if anyone knows or has attempting to export csv directly to origin and have origin open up with the exported data?

[allaba]

I did some simple communication with Origin using DDE: sending data to
Origin worksheets or graphs, executing origin commands from Labview etc.

Please be a bit more specific about what you want to achieve. What is
csv?

if you are interested in some (very basic) lv<-->origin vis please
respond to
my office email franz.ahlers@ptb.de

i was not very clear before:
I want to communicate with Origin via labview.
Sending it a 2D array and having it plot that array of data.
I have been able to communicate with origin and get a refnum. However I can only poke over one column of data not two.

Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,

sorry for this delayed reply.
I remember I could do a poke with more than one column of data but it was rather tedious. Can't find the VI at the moment. Normally I use a simpler approach, i.e. I use an intermediate (temp) ASCII file for data transfer.
The method is used in the attached "Extract data from graph control.vi" (it's in the .llb within the .zip). It is a nice tool which allows to extract data from any graph control in any open Labview window and send these data to (an open instance of) Origin.

There is another (unrelated) VI in the .zip which demonstrated how to query an Origin variable from Labview.

Hope this helps...
