Thread to read from external program

[NewCLAD]

Hello Fellows,

Here it is, I'm trying to interact with other programs using Labview 8.0.

I have read lots of messages on Active X and threads to understand a bit on that functionnalities and can't figure out if I could or not do my program.

So image explains better than words, please look at the attached file to see my issue.

Other question is about the the Open System Command Pipe.vi, read From Pipe.vi, Close Pipe.vi etc. Are these vi's able to create a vrtual COM port as a pipe ?

And is this Vis available in LabVIEW 8.0 Full Dev ?

Thanks for your reply....see you

Hi

The Open System Command Pipe.vi, read From Pipe.vi, Close Pipe.vi etc are in Labview full but only linux and MAC OS version. You can not use pipe with Windows.
