MATLAB and LabVIEW Runtime

[MickJagger]

Hello,

we have installed MATLAB R14 and LabVIEW 7.1 with the Simulation Interface V2.0.3 on PCs with Windows XP SP1.

Whenever I start MATLAB, also LabVIEW Runtime starts. If I stop LabVIEW Runtime with the task manager also MATLAB is closed.

Is this behaviour desired to be correct? The background of this question is, that we observe some instability with MATLAB and we are looking for an explanation.

Thank you

Michael

Hi,

If you start Matlab you will see in the command window
"Starting the SIT Server on port 6011
SIT Server started"

LV an matlab are in interaction - matlab listen on port 6011.. If you break the Runtime Engine Task, matlab crashs.
SIT Server in Matlab process opens a TCP socket causing a windows dialog box

In other side - you starting LV, nothing will happen with matlab - Since you activate the SIT Connection Manager

If you install XP SP2 pay attention for the permissions of these network connection!

Thank you for the explanation.

Michael,
If you want to temporarily prevent SIT server from starting when Matlab launches (i.e. without uninstalling SIT), you can edit /Toolbox/Local/startup.m and comment out the line that contains "nimatlabserver".
