Will active X work with any 3rd party software? Basically, I have the roc link software but there is no way of simulating data so I was thinking of having labview write values to the point locations to simulate it but I can't seem to make it work.

LabVIEW supports ActiveX. Do you want to use ActiveX controls / calls from LabVIEW? Or do you want to call LabVIEW va ActiveX?

So you basically want to simulate the RTU using LabVIEW Code.
I don't know anything about ROCLink, but if you are able to switch it from the RTUs ActiveX Server over to the LabVIEW ActiveX Server and you know which methods to implement, this should be possible. But honestly, it sounds like a lot of work to me
LabVIEW help has some basic infomation
