Socket communications in Labview

[Giovani]

I'm developing an application in Labview 6.1 which will make extensive use of the Labview DSC.
This application will run on a Windows 98 based computer and, due to the nature of it, it will need to communicate with another application - which isn't a Labview based application - which runs on a Linux based machine. Since this Linux application can communicate with other ones using sockets - a socket server running on it and clients running elsewhere - I need to how I can use sockets in Labview to solve my problem.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

The socket functions are in the function palette under Communication->TCP.

With "Find Examples" you will find it under Networking->TCP&UDP.

As client you need "TCP Open Connection" to connet to the server and "TCP Read" and "TCP Write" to exchange data. At the end use "TCP Close Connection" to disconnect.
