NI Shared Variable Engine Usage Example

[tuney]

Hi guys,

we're using NI Shared Variable Engine and trying to use this with java. As we understand, NI Shared Variables are available on the network.  So is it possible to communicate with this these using Sockets. Is there a protocol I 've to use? Does anyone of you have got an example on how to write a String to shared variable?

Hope this is the right forum.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings

According to this link: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/06/using-the-labview-shared-variable.html

"In addition, with the Network Variable Library introducted in NI LabWindows/CVI 8.1 and NI Measurement Studio 8.1, you can read and write to shared variables in ANSI C, Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#."

There is also more information available at the following links:
