How to Communicate data between two application (One in labview and other in C)

[Abhimaniu]

Dear all i have two independent application running on same PC. One a C program & a Labview application.

C program will pass some parameters to Labview application and waits for responce back from Labview.

Labview should wait for data from C Program and when it gets that, it should process it and should return it back to C program....

How a program can be made in labview to receive a data form Other appliaction

I am using Labview 7.1.

You could use the TCP/IP protocol to pass data between LabVIEW and the C program.  You would just open up the ports on the same PC and use "localhost" as the IP address.  You can find examples on TCP/IP in the example finder.

This kind of communication works the best when the LabVIEW code is compiled into a DLL.

In C you could call the DLL and the DLL would return the calculated values.
