How to synchronize several compiled LabVIEW VIs with trigger?

[RUTH]

- We have a timer (LabVIEW-VI).
- We also have several different other files who should listen to the timer.

Triggering with notifications wont work because copilation gives an own thread for each app. Notifications work only in the same thread...

Triggering with a global doesnt work also!
Seems to be the same problem...

Someone have an idea how to send a trigger from one compiled VI to another?
(We dont want to communicate over a file by the way.. 😉 )

I'm assuming that you're talking about built applications (.exe files) since all VIs are compiled. To communicate between applications, you can use ActiveX, TCP/IP, or datasocket. Datasocket might be the easiest. Set the time program to be a datasocket writer and have a datasocket read in the other programs.

Great idea!
Should work, I think... 🙂
