Is LabVIEW translated to machine code or an intermediate code?

[Need Help ????? :)]

I have been asked this question and I don't know the answer. What is LabVIEW made up of? Does it translate in to C, machine code or is it like CLR which is platform independent.

Well I don't know does any one know????

Thanks

LabVIEW's code is the diagram. It is compiled to machine/OS specific code before executing. No C code or intermediate code exists. Some of LabVIEW is written in various flavors of C and some of it is written in LabVIEW.

Thanks for you reply...

The reason asked is because how would you be able to communicate with other languages such as VB.net. I want to see if is possible of call different methods In Labview using VB.  I understand that you could use ActiveX, but can you use that for calling the Invoke Method to Run a VI remotely For example??

Yes!

I do not remeber off-hand how I did it but I did post to this forum sharing what I did. I would start by searching on "Ben" and "VB".

Here it is.

Hi

Thanks for your reply ben. I’m not using a dll file and my labview is not a client of another labview file. I currently have an asp file that need to run and pass values to the controls on the VI on the web server which that would pass the values the lab server using application and VI references. I thought of using a CGI in labview. Have you got any ideas on how to do this better ???

Can you help??
