DDE Server

Hi,
I'd like to set up a graphing program to pull some data from a labview
VI. I want to be able to just have the data pulled at the demand of the
graphing
software, so, if I'm not mistaken, I want to write a dde server. I have
some
example code on how to write a dde client, but even the user's guide has
little info on creating a server. How do I go about building one of these?

I have a rough one set up thus far, but it doesn't stay registered and it
only
runs for a little less than a second. If anyone has a place I can get a
simple
example server i'd really appreciate it. I need to build one to modify
an oscilliscope VI that I'm using right now.

Thanks, Max.

There's examples included with LabVIEW. Go to the help menu and select Search
Examples. Click on Dynamic Data Exchange for a list of example VIs. There's
a lot of different ways to get data from a LabVIEW program including DataSocket,
ActiveX, TCP/IP. You might want to look at those methods as well. NI also
has a number of examples at www.ni.com/support/epd.
