How do I make a connection to a equipment that as a built in Telnet Server where after a proper login I have access to the needed data.

[eh]

There is an add-on toolkit called the Internet Toolkit that has Telnet Vi's along with other Internet Vi's.

I agree that the Internet Developers Toolkit (part of the Enterprise Connectivity Toolset under Windows) would make this easier, particularly for anyone not too familiar with TCP/IP communication.

I'll also mention that a good LabVIEW programmer willing to invest some time can create this sort of application with the standard TCP/IP VIs. The big headache when writing something like this yourself using the low-level TCP Read and Write functions is timing between client and server. You'll probably find yourself spending time developing utility routines that you could be better off buying instead.
