I am installing a Data Acquisition system developed in 7.1.1f2 (.net 2.0 patched). The system has 4 device drivers reading data from different components (SCXI DAQ, OPC/DSTP, DLL Library, and a Labview 6.1 executable) When I got on site, I modified the 6.1 EXE's INI file to allow TCP access to * and export * on a specified port. The driver accessing the 6.1 EXE was reading the digital values correctly but I also needed to read XY Graphs along with the plot configurations and coloration. I then wrote a simple debug VI that Connects to the 6.1 EXE's Win 2000 Machine the Application reference succeeded, I open a reference to the exported main vi and seem to access all the properties and methods of the VI except the Front Panel calls. Some of the calls return invalid data (read this is the default result if an error is encountered)and when I try to get the Front panel reference I get error 1032. I need to get this working in order to get the control references of the waveform graphs, in order to get the plot information.
Things I tried:
1 - I have tried accessing the FP reference from a different machine running LV 7.1 but still get the same error.
2 - The 6.1 EXE belongs to our client and we cannot modify it, but I have reinstalled it from the backups with no change.
I don't have any idea how to proceed..
What else can I verify on the remote VI server, Is there another way to read the plot data from a graph? (VI ref --> Get control value mostly works untill the fill color changes on the plots)
Any Help / guidance would be appreciated.
